Just Got my Versa S!
Details:Black/Charcoal6 Speed!Power PackageABS15200 out the door (5200 down, 10k loan at 6.4 = 197/month)Ordered at the dealership on Feb 3rd, received tonight (march 9)!
Most enjoyed part of the "negotations":Financial Manager: "you really should get the MPP (basically some kind of extended warranty), that way if anything breaks (insert list of parts here), it will be covered.Us: "isnt this supposed to be a reliable car? why do we need this extra protection?"Manager: "It is a reliable car, think of it this way, you wouldnt leave your computer out in the rain would you? Well, the versa has a computer, and it is out in the rain"Us: *blank stare*Manager: "maybe you would like car washes instead?"
I have to say, its really enjoyable to drive, i just drove it 40 miles tonight, it shifts very easily and comfortably, I really enjoy the 6 speeds (even if RPMs are over 3k at 80 MPH). The high ceilings really are nice, it gives a nice impression of plenty of space. My only reservation about not getting the SL is the lack of a center arm rest, we will see how driving without one goes.
It does take a little while to get used to the 6 speed (which i very much enjoy). It is very tempting to move the shifter to the far bottom left gear (rev in a 5 speed, 6th gear in a 6 speed). Any way, After having my new car for a grand total of about 2 hours, it is awesome!
