Alot Of Us Bought The V For All The Right Reasons:

[grogman]

i'm pretty sure that most of us who own v's bought this vehicle for alot of good reasons. one being that it get's almost the same mpg in town as the highway. as you well know the gas will be creeping up to stellar highs again. the v has already peaked it's horsepower potential by hitting 122 hp. torque is @ 127 ft. lbs. which is awesome for an inline 4. when you change out the tuned exhaust in any car, the backpressure loss in the exhaust is lost and the engine has a tendancy to wear piston rings out quicker and the piston rod seals get more work also. all in all nissan has already done the homework on this engine. the car is heavy for it's class. one thing to mention is that switching out the heavy seats in back might help. a while back someone mentioned an alternative seat package sold by merchants on ebay. do a search for that thread it might reduce overall weight and increase backroom space and efficiency. i myself will switch out the stock wheels for some rims someday. hoping to decrease weight that way. keeping the other set for winter driving. some drivers i have seen have put rear hatch scoops on their v's wondering if that helps stability and gas savings. maybe some of you fine members can retort on that feature. all in all i like my versa like the choice. i almost got stuck with a rio and that wuda been just terrible to say the least. my feeling about hopping up a car. buy a vehicle like an old civic with a great body and engine and trick it out. leave the v alone it already is an awesome car. someone in a parking lot was staring @ my car for almost a minute while i was walking back to it. he took off but alot of people like this car for what is is. happy news years all.

Is this just a brain dump of random thoughts facilitated by some mind altering chemicals?

I dont know about MPG in City and Highway being the same. ON highway I get 400+ miles by the time the tank ends. When in city I get anywhere from 150 to 250 miles a tank.

"Alot Of Us Bought The V For All The Right Reasons: "

I bought my Versa for these specific reasons...

1- Fuel economy (doing under 25mpg on highway LOL)

2- Interior space (very very good)

3- Reliability (tow truck ride @ 8000km)

As for now the car has 8000km and fails number 1 and 3. Let's see what this little car has in store for me over the next 20 000km.

mancard dings: I agree. Cars do not establish manhood but we have had that discussion before, so no need to belabor. Predator: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predator_(film) Good movie. A classic. I may go rent it today!moron: Maybe that is why I had trouble following your post.

PS: price point, interior room, and seemed like a decent first car for our daughter.

This is a perfect example of someone mistaking his/her personal opinions as a commonly accepted way of thinking.

there was no reason for posting this thread but to start crap.

He has every right to express his opinion. Who are you to say he shouldn't? That'd be like you posting your mods and saying they're the best thing on Earth and then us saying, "Your car sucks, you should never post again." Can you disagree with his opinion? Yes, but by no means do you have any space to tell him he can't. He's expressing his opinion, he has every right to.

As far as dissing this post.....free speech, freedom of expression in Canada and Our Good Neighbours the U.S.A...a good many have given up their lives so we can express ourselves....and continue to do so freely, so any arguements to keep our opinions to ourselves is redundant.

Now I agree with grogman as I purchased my V for all the same reasons. I find it really unusual coming from a daily driver that really stood out (a restored 76 Malibu Classic ) and into what I thought would be virtually unnoticable daily driver in the V. Funny, but the BMW drivers, Mercedes, Acura etc are still rude and appear to look down their noses at me as they fly by but the other compacts, and sub compact drivers seem to nod as we navigate the roads together. However most are totally amazed at the room and economy I have in my little V.

Whenever I speak with any other V driver in the real world, I have yet to find on who has any true regrets about their purchase. For some who purchased the standard 6 speed, their gas mileage is not what they hoped but the performance and versatility seem to offset any issues regarding that.

Personally I chose the CVT because of what I heard ans researched (It took a bit of getting comfortable with at first) and I find at best on highway driving I can get 42 mpg, and in the city at temps of -35C I get around 30 mpg. (imp gals, not US gals) Of course that is driving in an economical manner, not flooring or reving it too much, although on one trip of 700 km I drove around 120 to 145 kmh just to see what would happen and I still got about 33 mpg.

As I have said in a previous post I test drove many other vehicles before making my choice the V, and after 18,000 km still feel I have made the right choice for all the right reasons.

I think the Versa is an ok car. I'm having to sell mine to free up money but I won't be getting another one. It just didn't completely suit me.

Is that in real life or online chat rooms? Please, openly bragging about one's supposed sexual conquest is really not that impressive.

Seen American Gangster (the movie)? Let me leave you a line from the movie to ponder, "the loudest one in the room is the weakest one". Good movie, btw. If you're going to start a thread and get on the soapbox, be prepared to face opposition. And facing that opposition intelligently and maturely is what impresses others.
