Hi

From my screen name you can tell that I am a Marathon runner since 2009. I found out I put a lot of mileages between weekday commute and weekend practice or race. At weekend, sometime I drove 30 miles one way to a trail I like to just have a run in the morning. And I need to drive around town like others for my weekend chores. I have a Honda pilot suv before I bought my Versa, I am still keeping the pilot for my mom to drive my daughters to and from school, that's like 2-3miles daily, and that Pilot is such a reliable car that I have change a lightbulb at 130k miles.
Anyhow, I am really happy about my Versa and not a bit missing driving my Pilot. Versa is a narrow car, granted; but its head room and backseat space is great if no 5th passenager need to be on board.

I have got 43mpg at the very first week and still remain 40+ average mpg. Depends on how free flow the traffic is. I just drive 65 to save gas.

I plan to do some mods on this car on the condition that won't won't ruin my gas mileage. I plan to get tint job, a set of 15" alloy and CAI. Now I only have a dashboard mount sunshade called xshade.
See you around and I will keep you updated about my Versa.

Hey! What's wrong with the 1st gen sedan?

Just messing around, the 2012 does look nice. I saw a couple the other day when I went down to a local dealership. To be honest, I only went there because they have a GT-R in the showroom and If I missed the chance to see one of those it would have been the biggest mistake of my life.. But anyways, the 2012 looks slick. Any plans for it? (mods, upgrades, etc?)
