Let's check out how the 2015 Nissan Versa stacks up against the Mazda3.

PRICE AND VALUE

This one will blow your mind. With an MSRP of $11,990, the 2015 Nissan Versa will save you nearly $5000 from the start over the hefty Mazda3 MSRP of $16,945. Do you have any idea what you can do with all that extra cash? You'll have time to figure that out when you choose the Versa, which comes standard with steering wheel-mounted controls, Bluetooth, and a digital and analog instrumentation display. You're out of luck in the Mazda3 if you want steering wheel-mounted controls and you drive an automatic, because it's only offered with manual transmission, and you'll need to purchase your own Bluetooth headset because Bluetooth hands-free calling isn't offered in the Mazda3 base model.

POWERTRAIN

What're these little jewels made of? Lift the hood of the 2015 Nissan Versa, and you'll find a 1.6L 4-cylinder which generates 109 hp, mated to either a manual or CVT automatic transmission. The Mazda3 offers up a 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155 hp but doesn't offer the more efficient CVT transmission.

CARGO VOLUME

The 2015 Nissan Versa beats the Mazda3 by a landslide in this department. Cargo volume in the Versa is a generous 14.9 cubic feet while you'll only get 12.4 cubic feet in the Mazda3. Plus, rear seat passengers will be able to stretch their legs more than two inches greater in the 2015 Nissan Versa, with 37 inches of legroom vs. the Mazda3's tight squeeze with 35.8 inches
