Hard drive for music, even just 10 gigs.

Choice between at least two kinds of sporty rims.

Tires that aren't Conti's.

Those turn signals on the body panel (or at least on the side mirrors) like some of the Tiidas in Europe.

A rear view mirror with a digital thermometer.

More air vents to the back seats.

Option on a dual moonroof (backseat).

In-dash slushi machine.

Money in the glove compartment.

The car asks you how your day is going.

Option on a Diesel engine.

American options available in Canada (TPMS and Intelligent Key).

More paint options. (Irredescents)

All-wheel drive option.

CVT that can be artificially manipulated by paddle shifters as well as by the gear selecter (automatic, not a six speed stick wrapped in loose leather) that you nudge forward and backward slightly to simulate switching gears.

More horsepower.

Wood grain on the dash.

... did I miss anything?

Why didn't you all just buy sentras?

Seriously? The Sentra platform is WAY more suited for power than the Versa is.

I wouldn't put any real power in a Versa until a cage was put in it.

Sentientbydesign with the Versa based off the Renault Clio's we would like the HP that our sister car can achieve. Like honing the block to 2.0L and getting the Renault ECU that maps the engine to perform at high performance levels like the Clio 197 or even the Clio cup cars designed by Renaultsport.

That is why I can't what for Renault to return to the states and blow the doors off it competition,or share some of the performance parts with Nissan if they don't return here State side.

I'll have to do some research to be sure, but I have a very strong feeling that the Renault engine probably has different internals.

Kind of like the ubiquitous VQ35DE that powered everything from the 3.5L Altima to the 350Z to the Murano...etc. The G35 and 350Z had different internals and a different tune for max performance. Whereas the Maxima, Murano, and Altima had lower tuned engines and different interals.

Not trying to discourage you guys, just trying to bring some clarity to the situation.

1. Fuel mileage/trip computer.Intelligent Key and no mileage readout? I mean, come on, it's 2009 - is it really that costly to stick the equivalent of a scanguage in the dash?

2. Leather option.Why not? Give us a tarted up, overpriced 'luxury' version. It already has (most of) the tech.

3. Xenons.See #2.

HID headlights is all I'm asking for. Maybe a supercharger or small turbocharger would be nice for that extra umph when needed going up big hills.

Nope, you can count me in as someone who's wholly satisfied with the Versa's drivetrain. I knew going into the purchase what (and what not) to expect, and I think that the 122 hp is more than adequate. The CVT also makes the engine seem fairly torquey, which is nice for a 1.8L.

I'm fine with it as well.

Turbo/Supercharging kits seem unrealistic for this car. Dont get me wrong though, for the people that would like things like that, hopefully it gets done. It just doesn't seem to look that way, thats all. I do like some of the suggestions though.

Same. I wasn't expecting a pocket rocket. It's a 3000lb hatchback whose main function is to provide high space/capacity in its class with decent economy.

Many of the things you guys are asking for are available in the aftermartket (with the performance parts being the exception).

Katzkin already makes a seating kit (currently putting mine in)The mirror is easily changed with one with a digital readout(you just need to be handy with wiring)Seat heaters are also available

among many other things, which, when installed properly look like they came from the factory.

I personally would like to see some swaybars, maybe a modest supercharger and a mild brake upgrade (rear discs come to mind).

That's probably my only gripe with my V is the rear drums.I hate drums when it comes time to change them. Rotor/pads are so much easier than drum/shoes.

You also have to keep in mind that half of these things were left out to make it an affordable, entry level car.

True, but some things I'd prefer to be factory installed, for various reasons.

Yes, but other similar-sized cars like the Mazda3 are offered in a drastic range of trims, and can be had with many of the mentioned niceties (xenons, heated leather, trip computer, auto climate, rain-sensing wipers). That's why I bought the 3 over another Versa for myself (which I had considered). Sure, it costs more than the loaded Versa SL, but it came with goodies that many cars listing at $10k more don't have.

As people transition to smaller cars, many folks will want a compact loaded with options. The Versa has some impressive features, but I think Nissan could sell an even higher-level trim to compete with the 3 GT. Then they could probably just kill the Sentra, as it hasn't really been competitive since the B13. The Versa isn't as sporty as the Fit or 3, but it also has a pretty smooth and quiet ride - the whole 'luxury' thing fits it pretty well, it would seem.

The Mazda 3 also isn't in the same segment. It's more of a Sentra competitor. The upcoming Mazda 2 would be a better comparison.
