I was picked for a SL/CVT Nissan Survey

[Fla_Versa]

I received a 23 question survey in the mail from Fisher Associates on behalf of Nissan North America, Inc.

With an assigned ID code, I was able to answer the survey online.

The typical multiple-choice from "exceeding" expectations to "Not Meeting" them; the questions revolved around the SL and CVT performance.

My only gripes with CVT is transmission noise during acceleration, and the below expectation fuel economy.

I have ideal driving conditions of weather, flat and straight rural roads and consider myself a "moderate" when it comes to driving style. I should be getting better than 28.7mpg (overall) having consumed 154.288 gallons on 4423.0 miles driven. I am keeping my fingers crossed for improved economy once I pass 8000 miles or so.

I had a spot in the survey where I was also able to note my dissappointment with multiple TPMS failures.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I still place my Versa as an overall 8. I really love my Versa.

I'll never forget with my 1996 Acura 3.2 TL....I hit 50k miles and the gas mileage went from around 21 to 25 literally overnight.

Maybe the Versa has the same thing. I don't complain about my gas mileage much in the V since I have a road that I go over twice a week that is long and steep so that kills it. That and I get reimbursed from work for mileage.
