Just a quick question for those who've owned a Versa for a bit. When moving at 120kph / 75mph is it normal for the engine to be revving 3,200 in 6th gear?
Thanks
Engine revs high?

I think that is right. If I had my Versa right now i'd go see. But I do recall a RPM of about 3.8k at 80 or so.

yeah thats about right... IMO... i think nissan missed the boat with the transmission, gear ratio wise.

Alright thanks for the replies - I drove a neon before so it just seemed a little on the high side, but it's good to know I don't have anything to worry about.

Yes they did. They missed the boat on this & the target demographic. This car should have been geared as an econbox instead of a sportscar wanna-be. I think this car could be getting close to 36 city, 40 mpg hwy if they spread the gears a bit more. My 6-speed is pretty much a 4-speed. I go 1 - 2 - 4 - 6.xtwoonamatchx wrote:yeah thats about right... IMO... i think nissan missed the boat with the transmission, gear ratio wise.

yeah... well being a 17 year old, i like to be able to accelerate kinda fast... 1st and second are good for me, although at times, 1st can be too short. they shouldve spread out the higher gears tho, 6th gear is just a diet 5th gear... and 3rd just seems too tall of a gear imo... ill usually do 2-3-4-6 when im not in a rush.. in a rush its 1-2-3-6 or on a hill
