#1114 of 1196 Decline of Door Moldings. by mschmal Oct 16, 2007 (7:01 am)
As side crash tests are becoming more important. Automakers are turning to high strength steel on body panels. Additional benefit is that door dings are fewer even without the moldings...Or so they want us to believe.   Mark Replies to this message: backy (Oct 16, 2007 7:55 am)

Replying to: zombietom3 (Oct 15, 2007 7:13 pm) Did you look at the Honda Fit? The hatch opening is pretty square and the floor is totally flat. And it's very easy to park in a tight garage. Despite the small exterior, it has more space behind the 2nd row as compared to a Versa.

Replying to: mschmal (Oct 16, 2007 7:01 am) Right. That is also why the same automakers that have deleted the side moldings are pleased to offer you, as an option or through their dealers, moldings for $150-300 a pop, which look amazingly like the moldings that used to come standard on the car.   Fewer door dings w/o the moldings? More like de-contenting in the name of cost savings, reduction in weight (every ounce helps for EPA calculations), and a profit opportunity for dealers.

Replying to: bobw3 (Oct 16, 2007 7:35 am) We have recently carried in our Fit a recliner and a dishwasher (boxed) on two separate occasions. The sales people at Slumberland and Sears could not believe that such a tiny car could swallow these things. I think we would have had a harder time with the Versa because of the narrower hatch opening.

Replying to: bobw3 (Oct 16, 2007 7:35 am) "Did you look at the Honda Fit? The hatch opening is pretty square ...." Not exactly. It's less extremely tapered than the versa hatch, but still an impediment to easy loading. (I had a photo link here but it didn't work.)   Here's the other extreme - this is a wide-mouth hatch design: http://fp.images.autos.msn.com/merismus/evox/stills/gallery/3681_48.jpg Replies to this message: bobw3 (Oct 16, 2007 11:42 am)

Replying to: zombietom3 (Oct 16, 2007 10:24 am) You're right. The Fit hatch isn't square, but just not as tapered as the Versa.
#1120 of 1196 Nissan Versa - "Service Engine Soon" Indicator by 62impala Nov 13, 2007 (6:22 pm)
I have a 2007 Nissan Versa. I love the car but lately the "Service Engine Soon" light comes on. I've had the car in the Nissan dealership three times but it continues to come on. It doesn't seem to matter if the gas tank is 1/4 full, almost empty or just filled. The gas cap is always secured tightly. I was told that the code is indicating an emmission control issue and they thought it was a sensor in the fuel throat; well it wasn't. I was also told that there are sensors in the gas tank and that's what they'll be focusing on next Monday. Has anyone heard of this issue and how was it resolved; or not? Thanks much!!

Replying to: 62impala (Nov 13, 2007 6:22 pm) Last night I took our 07 Versa (6M, 4dr SL) to the dealer for an oil change. While I was driving home, the service engine soon light came on. I immediately pulled over and called the dealer. The service rep I spoke to didn't seem too concerned with what I described and said I was fine to drive it and to bring it back in the morning. This morning the dealer ran the diagnostics and determined a bad gas cap was the culprit (emission control issue). They've ordered a new cap, which is under warranty and said this should solve the issue. I asked if they had seen this was common, but of course they wouldn't or couldn't really comment on it. I think they've seen this alot. BTW..When I left the dealer, the light had gone out.

Replying to: versa7 (Nov 17, 2007 6:41 pm) 25K miles on never had that problem, in fact you are the first person to say anything about this.
