#1171 of 1195 Re: Cube vs. Versa - Basically the Same Vehicles? [micweb] by aladdinsane Feb 26, 2009 (4:00 am)
Replying to: micweb (Feb 25, 2009 2:29 pm) micweb:   What's your spin as to the poor reliability of the Versa Sedan? Do you think this bad showing relates to ALL versions of the sedan?   Hope to hear from you...   Thanx-   Peace!<-AladdinSane-<- - Replies to this message: micweb (Feb 27, 2009 1:45 pm) senojdr2 (Oct 30, 2009 11:36 am)

Replying to: aladdinsane (Feb 26, 2009 4:00 am) I always thought the Versa was reliable, period, but one day I came across some newspaper blurb that cast the Versa Sedan (specifically, not the hatchback) as having worse than average reliability. Only the manufacturer's warranty records can tell us for sure, of course, even Consumer Reports and JD Powers are just surveys from a limited group of owners, and its hard to do good surveys like that. I don't think the Versa had some of the bigger problems that, say, the Quest did. It's a proven design out of a proven plant.
#1173 of 1195 Versa SL HB on the highway by moontom Mar 16, 2009 (8:14 am)
I'm strongly considering this car, and wondering how it is for highway cruising.   I gather noise and road bumps are muted...they were on my local road test drive.   but I'm wondering: how's the seat after a few hours? driving position for legs/knees/etc? anything else of note?   thanks very much for any and all insights!

Replying to: moontom (Mar 16, 2009 8:14 am) Well I have 45,000+ on my Versa, have taken it on two vacations and really have no complaints at all on highway cruising. In fact, I just had a passenger for a 120 mile trip the other day who had never ridden in the car asking me the same questions since his son is looking for a car and is considering the Versa. He liked the size inside and comfort on the road. Replies to this message: houdini1 (Apr 02, 2009 9:10 am)

Replying to: moontom (Mar 16, 2009 8:14 am) Superb car for long distance drives, easily took me from San Francisco to Los Angeles and back, gas mileage with the stick shift not as good as hoped compared to similar class cars due to the higher freeway rpm (low gearing on the 6 speed favors sporty driving not fuel economy). Seats are extra wide, great.   The automatic versions may give similar freeway mileage to the stick shift, since while they are intrinsically less efficient, they have lower freeway r.p.m.   A highly recommended car - midsize inside per EPA, while compact exterior and good gas mileage.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Mar 16, 2009 12:13 pm) I like the looks of this car but I have heard that it is made by Renault and not Nissan. Is this true?

Renault and Nissan formed their alliance in 1999 with Renault holding something like a 45% stake in Nissan. The Versa is the US/Canada name for the Tiida which is available in various overseas markets.   It's based on the same mechanical platform as the Renault Clio so I suppose you could look at it as "made by Renault" if you'd like. I just turned over 47,000 on my Versa the other day. The semantics of who it's made by have not been a factor for me.

#1178 of 1195 VERSA SL sedan upcoming (?) options by aladdinsane Apr 02, 2009 (1:40 pm)
Hi... I'd like to know why Nissan saw fit to eliminate the Sun and Sound package from its options list for the Versa SL sedan. Anyone have an idea? The automaker claims it's due to lack of interest on the consumer's part...that customers just don't seem to want that package with the sedan. I disagree, speaking for myself. A sunroof and high powered audio system with subwoofer would really make the sedan an attractive buy, again speaking for myself. One other thing: Is there a strong possibility that Nissan will offer traction control/electronic stability control with the Versa for 2010? All of these optional equipment features I've described above would certainly make the SL sedan/5 dr quite a strong contender. It would be a deal maker for yours truly, next model year, for sure! Peace!<-AladdinSane<- -

Replying to: pf_flyer (Apr 02, 2009 10:42 am) I don't consider it a bad thing if it is made by Renault. I was just curious. Sometimes it is hard to figure out just who makes what these days. I believe I read somewhere else that the Versa is actually assembled in Mexico.   I have always been partial to "tall cars" and I especially like the look of the sedan.

Replying to: houdini1 (Apr 03, 2009 5:30 am) I like the look of the Versa sedan also. Some have negatively criticized its look, but I disagree.   Peace!<-AladdinSane<- -
