Poll...Male or Female driver??

[greggie195]

Im getting my 09 Versa this weekend, and am really looking forward to driving this little car to and from work every day. I like the way it drives and I *think* I like the way it looks. Anyway, whenever I see someone driving, it is always a female! Just wanted to see if my hypothesis holds any water. So what are you guys (or gals), Male or Female?

[cik2003ny]

how much are you getting it?because i am getting mine tomorrowthanks

[kc5f]

If my daughter were registered here she could give you at least one vote for females! She's the only one who drives her Versa, while my wife uses mine from time to time.

[greggie195]

I am getting it (hopefully....if this place price matches) for 16850 +TTL. SL HB CVT convenience ABS mudflaps/mats. Yourself?

[greggie195]

Looks like so far my hypothesis does not hold up. Lets see when more people respond

NY (and Im sure Ct) is very expensive, and I am paying 8.675% tax on it. I dont think I could get a better deal. About 18,800 out the door. Dont think I could do better. I have tried a few dealerships and this is the best I could do. The 09's are also more expensive and as others have said everyone wants a fuel efficient car now. Good luck to you!

i think soif you need help for buying you can go to my other topic "buying a new versa please help" i think it will helps you more or less too bad here they ONLY have 1 SL wihch is blue one for me and some (like 3-4)S, but the SL comes with 6 cd audio system which i don't know if is standard.too bad all 08 was sold out yesterday and i don't think they are getting somein ct the tax is about 6% and i have to financing there so i don't know if i can get a better rate some people said under 5% will be good? is that ture?

You mean that's dirt cheap taxes. Here in Quebec: 13.5%.

Lucky I got an awesome bargain on my 08 SL CVT with ALL the goodies.

[frankoV]

but the SL comes with 6 cd audio system which i don't know if is standard.

Standard on the SL

But every Canadian I've ever met tells me you get "free" health care!

I really do not like the way it looks, but it was cheap and hopefully reliable.

Naw, only Michael Moore believes that.

And most Canadians are unhappy withour health care system -- it isn't working as well as it might. The non-profit-government-funded system is filled with bureaucrats and administrators. One actually said "the problem with the health care system is that there are too many sick people".

Not that I'm in favour of a for-profit system, by any means! Just that our "model" needs to go on a diet [without, of course, becoming anorexic]

I'm the owner (male). My daughter is the driver. She picked the "V" out & will buy it from me when done with college. So I will vote for female as the driver.

[srellim234]

Around here most of the Versas we see are stock. They seem to be the family cars and just as likely to have a male or a female driving. The ones that have been customized (lowered, custom wheels, dark tinted glass, etc.) seem to be driven predominately by late teen or 20-something males. Those customized cars are probably about 20 percent of the Versas I see and the percentage is getting lower as the creature comforts of the car catch on with families.

So, the majority of the Versa drivers I see here are men.

[greggie195]

Glad to see it's not as much of a "chick car" as I orginally thought it was!

[oxtsc64]

Please add another male to the total. Thanks.

[darkwind25]

Actually both me and the wife drive the car....So I guess that a vote for both.

[faction]

I think males are more likely to go out and find websites to post on about their cars. (got to pimp the mods!)Most women aren't into that.

So maybe the poll just represents the % of Versa drivers (male or female) that web chat about it.

[dave01978]

i wasnt sure how to vote, i am male, but only drive it when i am with the wife, or have the baby, otherwise the wife drives it. I just post, and try to convince her to mod the heck out of it

That is a great point!

[the djay]

Male here, although my wife likes to drive it as well....when I'm not using it.

[Junipers68]

Add one to the female drivers please

I have yet to see one modified V out here .. and must admit that I see mostly women driving the V as well. I do see the occassional male driving, but not as often.

Personally, I love mine .. a few weeks ago my little 4 year old niece was in the backseat and said "Auntie, how come you bought a truck like mommy's ?" (my sister has a van lol). I told her it wasn't a "truck" .. that it was a car .. she was still adamant that it was my new van - and still is to this day.

It's a great little car .. and I am finally feeling comfortable enough to see just how zippy she is

Enjoy your new Versa !!

[faction]

oh yeah..I'm a gal and I don't let my husband anywhere near my car.

[Andrewp3567]

im a guy, 17 years old to be exact LOL, i drive a 2007 versa hatchback which i love to death. i drive it to and from school daily and work. i am extremely upset that the lease is up this coming november and i might not be able to afford to buy it..MIGHT not. i sure am hoping to lol. i'd hate to give up my versa . believe it or not id choose my versa over any ford mustang or dodge charger srt, or a vette anyday. i've had way too many memories in my versa to let it go LOL.

[Driving Instructor]

BOTH............... Students come in all sizes, types and smells!

[iluvmyVersa08]

Female Versa owner here!

Well we do pay a lot in taxes for everything, so 'free' is not really the word. Plus, as frankohabs has said, it isn't working out that great. Wait times are ridiculous, and trying to get a doctor's apt is usually a nightmare. But I love living in Canada, so I won't really complain.
