I am surprised that the numbers are this good for such a blah product lineup.

I have to agree!

Of the all the wretched econoboxes out there, the Versa and Sentra are two of the least horrible.  The Fit might be better than the Versa, but it also seems to cost more... and it may not seem like that much better a value for the price.

I think you said it best.  "Wretched Econoboxes"

 

Sort of like saying you caught herpes from an unattractive one night stand, but there was someone even more of a mud fence you could have hooked up with instead.

 

I would seriously try to move into an urban neighborhood and give up driving before I would want to own either.
