Looks much bigger than I thought....

Nice...

So the calipers come painted stock? That's even better. I notice the seat fabric looks different than the older SLs, and you have the 16" wheels along with the sport kit! I heard the gauges looks different too and have different color at night. Care to take a nighttime pic of the gauges?

Those are some nice factory alloys. The 15"ers look a little plain even for OEM but I guess they aren't that bad.

I think they are.

Still want to see what the gauges look like at night. I heard they're white and orange instead of one tone color.

it gets dark here really quickly (5PM) during the winter months I may just have to take a new one out for a test drive.

yes, they are white and orange.....160 miles so far and lovin it , happy with it

Is difficult to take pics at night, but here is me trying with a tripod:Bluetooh, volume and audio controls on steering wheel......I must say, this bluetooth cell phone feature is neat, driving and hands free using the cell phone is much safer very very cool.

I know is not a good pic..but...here u go:

Also, earlier today I took this pic of the aluminum Kick Plates passanger sider view, I was pleasantly surprised when the dealer added the kick plate set for free , they do add a touch of class.

Oh so now they get smart and add lights to the buttons on the steering wheel That makes me sad that mine don't light up.

The gauges do look nice.

And yes, the aluminum kick plates make the car look good! I have them too :D

Sweet. If I ever come across a 2010 Versa in a junkyard one day, I am so taking the gauge cluster. And the grill.

Trading up?

There is no way I'm trading my Versa in and losing all sorts of money from the dealer. She will be my daily driver until she dies! I plan on getting my money's worth out of her, lol.

I think the lit up steering wheel would bother me at night time.

Posting more pics for your enjoyment..So,..the weather report is "winter snow advisory" and I decided that it would be a good test to drive it in the mountains of Western Massachusetts...

Over The Rainbow with the 2010 Versa SL, engaging the Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmision)...

..I felt safe driving up and doown the hills using the overdrive off when needed...

..trusting the VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) and the TCS (Traction Control System)

Passed the winter driving test

Hope you guys like it

The grill looks good.....when covered by snow

Loving that color.

Edit: VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) and the TCS (Traction Control System) is that something new on the 2010's?

Actually, I still think that Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) is new to 2010. Early versions of the system were being offered in the mid 90's by Mercedes-Benz and BMW. The NHTSA will require starting in 2011 all new vehicles to have this feature, preventing up to 9,600 fatalities per year.VCD helps with vehicle's stability by automatically applying braking -and reduced engine power- to individual wheels to help steer the vehicle (if veh skids occur) in the direction you intended to go.

Traction Control System (TCS) I do believe is new to the 2010's, standard to the SL models and optional to the S models. I can't find any reference to any previous Versa years. TCS prevents loos of traction keeping the wheels from spinning when accelerating during wet, icy or snowy conditions.

Both VDC and TCS are standard for the SL sedan and hatch models and optional in the VDC package for the S models only.

Looks awesome having all those new features for the '10+ models. When my V craps out, I'll get something better than the V. I was looking into the Sentra SE-R or the fully loaded Sentra SL. If not Nissan, then a Mazda 3.

Looking at the 2010 Spec sheet, they could of at least up the Hp by 5.

Im getting 34.7 MPG, about 40% of that city driving, according to my first calculation. Another calculation gets me 32.8 MPG on my second gas tank.

got my grill from the dealer yesterday, only took a couple of days to come in, haven't installed it yet, but the hole pattern looks the same.

I'm wanting to blackout the chrome, so it may be a few weeks before i put it on.

Oh, and it only cost 77. bucks and i got a 10% discount that the dealer sends out for promotions.

im happy.
