2009 Versa Hatchback

[TryingDrive]

interested in starting a local versa club? I figure it takes 2 to start :p

[totsubo]

Sure, which part of Georgia are you at?

(Edited) Just need to clarify that I cannot start a club, but I can join one. I work a lot. All day Monday through Saturday (like 9 AM to past midnight). I can only meet up on Sundays. I am usually at the Caffeine and Octane held every first Sunday of the month at Avenues at East Cobb. That maybe a good place to meet up.

Still trying to install this cover. Having issues with the airbags on the front seats.

[iluvmyVersa08]

Are those Clazzio seat covers? I wanted to order them, but they are so expensive; but they do work with our airbags in the seats. Also, the Clazzio ones on ebay do not show the rear seats with the pull out cupholder/armrest ... Also, I have two dogs, so they might end up wrecking the leather, lol ...

Be sure to post up pics once they are fully installed !
I also like the cool floor you've got going on in the Versa !

[totsubo]

These are $120 USD seat covers that I picked up from an auto parts store in Taiwan (similar to pep boys or autozone).

I will post pics once I find a way to make them compatible with my air bags.

[iluvmyVersa08]

Oh ok ...
How will you make them compatible? Hopefully you can find a way!
They look nice!

[totsubo]

Thanks.

Finally got around to installing them. Took 2.5 hours and about $10 USD in installation supplies.

Love your interior. Is that an OEM mat on your backseat area?

[totsubo]

The mats are aftermarket all weather. They cost me $30 for the front, rear and trunk area.

[JHR16DE]

We have the same interior(except the leather covers) and I like your mats. Were did you get them from?

[totsubo]

I got them at a large auto-supply store (similar to Pep Boys and Autozone) in TaiChung City, Taiwan. They have a lot of those mats (in stock) for the Versa. The Versa is a popular car in Taiwan.

When I told people (in Taiwan) that mine was stick shift and had manual roll up windows, they were kind of shocked. In Taiwan, cars apparently cost a lot more than here. No one buys the base model. So, car companies don't sell basic versions of their car models. So, no new car is sold with manual roll up windows. At least that is what I was told.

It is a pain when other people want to go for a ride with you. You have to unlock all doors manually. There are no rear door key holes, so you have to contort your arm to reach the locks. When everyone gets out, you have to go around and lock all the doors.

Also, if a driver pulls up next to you on the passenger side and motions to lower the window, you either have to ignore them or sign to them that you have manual windows, which most people won't understand. I consider that a good thing sometimes. Why do people want to talk to you in traffic? It's happened, but luckily only a couple of times in my life.

[JHR16DE]

Cool, I'll look into it. Thanks for the info.

I have manual windows/locks so I know the feeling. Which sub-model is your hatch though? I didnt know hatchs had that option.

[totsubo]

I have the S model with the 1.8 L engine.

[totsubo]

I've decided to part with mine. If anyone wants it, please let me know:

[JHR16DE]

I see that you decided to go with Honda, good choice.

[totsubo]

It is a 6-speed and my 17 yr old kid doesn't want to drive it. The future wife would, but can't drive stick. So, I decided to get a car the future wife would be able to drive.
