Versing Hating?

[TrustME]

Has anyone been a victim of pointless hating on the Versa? I was at a local car meet. Its a pretty well rounded place, not too much of one car (Except Integras). I found myself pretty much defending myself all night from verbal hate from a lot of people. "Nice car, does it come in man?" I did think that was kind of funny, but not toward me. Ha. I was just wondering is the same thing has happened to others?

Haha! Thats a good one!

I'm not an owner yet, but any discrimination will be followed with "hey, if you got beef...go make yourself a sandwich!"

No hate... just the opposite, I got stopped at the gas station a couple times and complimented on it.

Man, it must be nice. I was at an Exxon and this lady in an Expedition, I think, was talking about her gas and how expensive it is to fill up. And I kind of bragged about how good my car is on gas. She fell in love with it. Thats the only love I've received.

Kinda the opposite with me. People at the gas station ask me how many MPG I'm getting. Then they usually say, "Is that all?"

People ask me all the time what gas MPG i get and i tell them "the best i got was 23...once...." lol the foot is a size 13 and its heavy!

I haven't had anyone say anything negative about it to my face, but I have dudes in big trucks try to run me over all of the time. I realize that they are terrible drivers, so they would probably do the same to just about anybody, but I don't think I'd be wrong in assuming they aren't big fans of an import, much less a hatchback that has a lot cooler technology and is way more efficient than their mud slinging behemoths. The worse thing for me was when I first got the car, every single woman that saw it said it was cute.

There's a lesson to be learned here.

You can either play in the mud with your truck, or pick up a chick in your Versa.

I hope that's true. Maybe it will work for me one of these days...

Surprisingly I haven't had any yet. I say surprising because I live in the heart of Automation Alley in Michigan, and many friends and family members either work for one of the big 3 or one of their contractors or suppliers.

I've had tons of compliments on mine; maybe in Canada people are just friendlier towards sexy, hatchback, imports?

Ha, thats true. but i live more toward the country redneck zone and i think girls like it more when you play in the mud with your truck.

There aren't too many Versas in Vancouver. Lots of Honda Fits though Today, I was parked waiting for someone, and I got lots of looks, including this hot chick who was checking me out as well I never got this much attention with my supped up BMW!

Bleh! I really dislike the Fit.

I think I should really move. I don't seem to get any of these compliments or good looks..

Humm... I've noticed the exact opposite. Too many Versas in Vancouver, particularly around Kitsilano and Kerrisdale. We wave and smile at each other. Most drivers I've noticed are women though. I remember a mom and her young son pointing ecstatically at us because we had the same trim and color.

They're predominantly "S" and almost always Sapphire Blue or Magnetic Grey.

I also pass by Southside Nissan everyday, and 8 times out of 10, they've got a V parked in front ready for delivery.

I see a few around, but no-one will catch my eye for some reason...

I've had a teacher approach me in the parking lot ( I figured she was going to tell me to stop loitering or something) and ask me about the car. She wanted to see the trunk space and was trying to decide between a V and a matrix.

Funny, because it was a toss up for me with the V and the Matrix, both about the same price, except base matrix and SL Versa. I decided that SL Versa > base Matrix. My brother has the matrix and surprisingly, side by side they're the same size.

Actually I agree, I think they look very, very similar. However, a friend of mine has repeatedly stated that he's very glad the Versa rides better than the Matrix, he hates it apparently. I've never ridden in one myself though.

I'm surprised on this, but it seems that chicks LOVE the V. I'm talking about the HOT ones too! I have yet to come across a female that didn't like it V. It's kinda a chick magnet. Yeah, I know it's not a Bimmer or Benzo or what not, but it gets the job done!

Other than that, no hating really. Just love. At best, a little hate because it looks nicer and is newer than the person's ride you pull up next to (but that's the case with any new nice looking vehicle).
