Hello everyone. I found this forum via a Google search. I have never owned a new car in my life, now my wife & I have a new 2012 Nissan Versa S hatchback. It is all black. It is 100% stock. Was the Versa our first choice, no it was not. However, it was a nice overall package and deal. We looked at the competition and we liked the Versa over all. We wanted a Chevy Cruze but it was not in our budget. The goal for this car is simple, basic, and reliable transportation. Lets face it, it has 122BHP, it aint gonna get out of its own way. LOL

I spent several hours detailing it inside and out, and it looks nice. I am very proud of my new car. I am not in to showing off, there are better cars for that. I come from the "classic car" and "there is no substitute for cubic inches" crowd so I am not into the "ricer" car culture thing. This car was bought with simple A to B use in mind. I want it to last and I plan on taking care of it.
I have to admit that for what the car costs, I thought it would be a cheap little econo box, but it isn't. It is a nice car yet it has its flaws. This is 2012 and to me the car should get better gas mileage than it does. Heck, my moms 1981 Ford Escort back in 1981 with a carburetor got better gas mileage then this 2012 Versa. In town the car gets 23MPG, I think it should do better than that. I do plan on removing the goofy doughnut tire and replacing it with a stock wheel and tire should I ever have a flat. I also have a breaker bar a 21MM socket in the car which will make changing a tire easier than the stock tire tool. I do like my new car, a lot. Now it is time to look around the forum and see what I can find.
