Nissan now has the Versa on its website and you can build and price your own. I couldn't figure out how to get there from the main page, but here is a link that will work- http://www.nissanusa.com/content/0,,action-NVersa_topicId-1_pageId-123147,00.html |

After playing around on the Nissan website, I'm definitely interested to see the Versa for myself. I found a few things odd and some surprising features on such an inexpensive car. The 6-speed manual is a definite suprise as is Bluetooth capability and Intelligent Key (though optional) are welcome features. I'm sure to keep prices down, they didn't include ABS/side airbags as standard. I consider this a plus as I would skip this $700 option if keeping the price low was my main objective. The base S model isn't available with cruise control, even with the optional power package. The S also doesn't have an AUX input which I think should be standard as it is on the current Sentra. The S could also use a wheel upgrade option, those standard wheel covers do nothing to flatter the car and an alternative would be nice. The Rockford Fosgate stereo isn't available on the sedan, only on the SL hatchback. It's only a $300 upgrade, but requires the $700 convenience package to get it. Prices can get too high if all options are selected, the SL 5-door with CVT and all options has a sticker of $19,855 . If this car is the same price as a Civic or Mazda3 it doesn't make a lot of sense. With minimal options, say the S with power package for $14,255 or SL w/ no options for $15,555 it's a strong value. I may have to check out the SL 6-speed manual when it arrives. BTW, when will it arrive???

they lower the prices. $16K is kinda steep for an "economy" car. But I like that they're offering Intelligent Key. Its a surprising feature in a car at this price. Maybe after rebates and the fact that I've got access to Nissan VPP pricing (through a friend, I haven't used it yet) might make it a screaming deal.

Comparison of Versa with competitors (all 5-doors)- The Versa S with power package is $14,255 (the only 6-speed manual!!!) Chevy Aveo LT is $13,880 (also has alloys and cruise) Elantra GLS is $14,394 (and butt ugly in my opinion) Kia Rio5 is $14,640 with power package (also has alloys) I'd say that puts the Versa comfortably in the ballpark with competitors. The Chevy Aveo is a little cheaper, but slitting your wrists also would be.

Replying to: jchan2 (Oct 23, 2005 6:40 am) To me, it looks like Nissan is aiming at the compact market (e.g., Civic, Focus, Corolla) with the Versa instead of the low-end subcompact market (Fit, Aveo, Rio, Accent, Yaris). This is based on the interior size of the car, its features, and its pricing.
