What Color Have OR Do You Intend to Buy?

[kmil123]

Perhaps someone can set up a survey here online to see which is the most popular color. I'm gonna pull the "beginner" excuse since I don't know how to set it up.

[kmil123]

Well folks, please let us know which color Versa you either have OR intend to buy.

Also, if you tell us about your color choice, Please tell us about your interior choice: Beige or Charcoal.

Thanks for your time and participation!

I didn't vote since I'm not in the market, but I think the Versa looks SWEET in black.

I'm not even going to attempt to set up a poll. I belong to a woodworking forum where I've been a member for almost 2 years - never have set up a poll there either.

My V - Silver w/ 35% tint

then Chris (friend) got his.... Bright Blue

then Mom's finally came in..... Black

then Mom got windows tinted, then Chris got windows tinted.

Now, we're all waiting on VentVisors for the windows !

Especially after you darken the windows a bit.....

[AZhitman]

Needs a drop and some gunmetal 18's - Way sweet.

I just have to represent my color group! My Fresh Powder is good lookin. but i do agree the black is very cool.

[Paula]

Well, Greg - considering that car belongs to a 67 yo GREATgrandma, the only other "accessory" it will have is window vent shades.

Now don't think for one minute that she's not a cool, VERY active lady. Just not into "pimpin' her ride" !!

sapphire blue!

We really didn't have a choice in colors, because of the supply issue.We got fresh powder with beige interior. We really wanted a charcoal interior, but there were no other 6-speed SLs in Illinois, much less the surrounding states.

Fresh Powder White with Charcoal InteriorCVT

I have ordered door trim, black 1 1/4" wide. I know this is not for all but I want it to protect the doors.

Have order Read Wood Dash Trim 60 pieces. Don't know where I'm going to put them all but it should look good on there. Again not for everyone, but considering that I bought it and I'm using it, doesn't bother me at all.

Welcome back Mudd!!!!

[Peter Murray]

I insisted on a Airstream silver, which only has the charcoal. Prefer silver as it doesn't show the salt and dirt as readily as other colours. Am very happy with it.

[OKVersa]

I've never seen the silver around here. I've seen the gray (ours), white, red and black. I've seen pics of the blue here online.

My first pick would have been the silver, but I honestly do love the gray, and to be honest, people are stopping me left and right at work and shopping asking about the car.

I remember when my son was a baby, people would make cute comments about how adorable he was. I would just glow with pride. Now I'm that way about my Versa.

[Mudd]

Thanks for the welcome. I've been ill. Hope buying this Versa didn't do it! Was 't as ill as I was when I stared at a shirt-skirted, well endowed young lady. I thought Grouch has already got into the Car. My mistake.

New thought: I've scanned the board and found nothing about the feature with the CVT that allows a "semi-Free wheeling". Did I miss it somewhere? I just stumbled onto it and ask the Shop Manager. He said he knew that and asked if the Owners Manual showed it. Don't remember it there either. Memory fails me often thought.

What's that??

[Mudd]

I'll tell it like it came from the Service Tech.

The CVT has a semi-coast feature that is activated with the foot pedal at speeds of about 40 to 50. If you are coasting or want to coast and you are in this speed area, let off the accelerator, then tap it just enough to go past idle, don't hold it there,just tap it. Your Tach should go to about 1200 rmps and there. Or if you're in a decline and your speed increases at a greater speed that when you tapped the accelerator, the CVT will again engage as normal slow down, then active again when the speed is again at the tapped speed.

My Versa CVT goes into that at any speed below 45 mph. There is a certain Hill that is in my path daily. The speed limit is 35. So as I decline at 35 I tap the accelerator. As the Versa goes down hill, it gain or tries to and at about 36 the CVT again takes hold. I can verify this by watching the Tach and the feel of the car. When it slows down to about 35 again the Tach again drops to about 1200. The Service Tech told me that it was designed to do so. A copy-cat maybe of Toyota Scion as it had that in 2006.

You never gain much but you do gain. While the idle at this speed is about 900rpms for me, the CVT engaged is about 1400-1500 and slowing the car down. With the tap, you can maintain your speed downhill without needing to use the accelerator or brakes. Certainly the grade of the hill comes into this scenario but I'm just giving an example for myself.

If you are trying to be conservative as I always am, use the "tap" feature of the CVT and do a little coasting to your stop. Make a brake shoe/disc last longer, give you a little edge on fuel.

I would prefer that it be available at a higher speed but it's not for me.

I have tried very had to describe this and type correctly. If it is not please excuse me as I have recently had a stroke and it affect the coordination between my eyes and fingers. That is not all that is affected, but

OK... since everyone started the color + tint pictures in this thread, I have to throw in the pic of my blue onyx with tint...

[will1911a1]

The wife insisted I buy one in Sapphire Blue so I did. You know what they say: "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."

All joking aside though, I love the color.

[TougeSlide]

white ftw

[BKKloppenborg]

Black is my fav (But a B*#($ to keep clean black seems to show dirt more. I also like the Silver.

I agree with you, I have another white WRX, and I have to detail it well every 2 months to keep it from those black dots that just hold on to your car when you drive on the road. And also, it is pretty difficult to make is shine unlike black. So I chose my Versa black this time.

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Not in the market for one but I voted silver...

[BenzTech Gone Versa]

my versa is white with Charcoal interior.i have a problem with my color though.damn flies and bugs keep pooping on my car cuz its so light.i noticed on my block that all the silver and white cars attract bugs at night!

[jallendavis]

I am a big fan of dark cars. but after almost 2 years of dealing with keeping my superblack Pathfinder clean I decided to go with the still dark and very sexy blue onyx. still hard to keep clean but I couldn't be happier with the color.

[shift_kerry]

I plan on getting silver.. I love silver cars! My boyfriend has a silver Titan, which looks really good.

Hi. I ended up getting the Blue Onyx.

My preferences were the 1) Sapphire Blue, 2) Blue Onyx, 3) White, and 4) Red. The one Sapphire Blue was an S model (already sold), the white was a Manual trans (wanted the CVT), and I never found or have seen a red one yet (online or live).

Most of what I saw via online inventory searches were Black and Silver ones.
