It will come as a surprise to no one to find out that if I had $17,245 to spend on a used car, I would buy an orange Dodge Challenger. Crazy, I know. I’m sorry, but there’s just nothing a base Nissan Versa could do to convince me it is in any way shape or form better than a Hemi-powered Challenger with a pistol grip shifter. I’m a simple man, after all.
When tasked with finding a car I’d rather own for that amount of money, the Challenger was my first and only choice. I mean, it is so much better than a new Versa in so many ways. Sure, it doesn’t have a warranty and will probably cost a good deal of money for maintenance, but who really cares about that? Not me. Hell, I’d go so far as to say it’s more practical than a new Versa. It definitely fits four people more comfortably, even if it is a coupe, and it’s got a bigger trunk! Yeah, gas milage will be bad, who the hell cares, man?
