I notice many wants a flat cargo when the seats fold down. Here is an accessory that make the cargo flat by putting on a "shelf". Not sure will it be available in North America and it costs about 220 US.

Does anyone know if the versa will be offered in the US with all the accessories its Japanese counterpart (Tiida) has?:

Im particularly interested in the section that makes the surface flat when the seats are folded:

Hopefully this will be available in the US as its important for me to have a flat surface when the rear seats are folded down, otherwise I will consider the Honda Fit as this folds flat from what I can see.
 
also, the 'pet carriers' are pretty cool! http://www.nissan.co.jp/OPTIONAL-PARTS/TIIDA/C11/td_062.html
 
If these little treats wont be available in the US when its released here, does anyone know if its possible to purchase from Japan and have them shipped?

Towing capacity? by yardtime

Ok I realize that the versa isn't really intended to be used to tow things, but what about something small? Is there some type of towing package that would allow me to connect a bike carrier or something similiarly small?
 
I am an avid biker and would like to know if this is a possibility.

I notice three main areas of concern crop up, flat cargo area, pet carrier, and bike hauling.
 
I have an answer for two of these.
 
The pet carrier is a generic thing available through several vendors, I have seen it at my local petsmart before.
 
As for the bike, Sarris makes a great thing called a Bones (which holds three bikes) or a Bones2 (which holds... two! bikes). The bones is a wishbone shaped thing (meant to go over a spoiler of a sedan/coup/etc) but which works great on hatchbacks. I got mine years ago for my little subaru and I have been able to use it on my subie, my mom's subie forester, and my little Sidekick (which is a covertable/tracker thing and has a half door at the back). This thing doesn't scratch or marr, and it extremely easy to install and remove (there are six straps to place and tighten) and it'll probably be cheaper than the hardware for a hitch mount. I've used my bones to take my bikes from eastern Kentucky all the way to northern Michigan without incident.
 
As for the cargo thing, that looks so cool!!! I can't see why they wouldn't eventually sell it in the US, and if they don't, you'll be able to get it off eBay as soon as some japanese guy realizes that he can purchase a ton of them and charge us for them. That would probably be cheaper than ordering it direct from a Nissan dist. in Japan.
 
So, I guess that I ultimately lied: I had solutions for all three...

Bike rack probably a better solution... by pf_flyer HOST

Yesterday I had to pick up my daughter from her job, but I was trying to fit my bike ride into my day. So I folded down the rear seats, slid the passenger seat forward a bit, and managed to get the bike inside the Versa so I could drop the car off with her and ride home
 
Was a tight fit, but it worked. I'll have to take a picture next time!

Do you remove the front wheel when transporting the bike? I built a riser for the cargo area so the floor is flat and that helps with the bike and other larger objects. The riser only cost a few bucks for the lumber and it open so I don't lose the storage space. It's also portable so I don't need to keep it in the V when not in use.

Probably would have been easier, but no, I got the bike inside without taking the front wheel off!
 
I have some ideas on building a riser for the hatch area myself. Maybe even one that folds flat when not in use so i can keep it in the car and pop it up when I need it.

Back Bumper Protector? by molly01

Does anyone know if anyone makes a stick-on protective piece for top of the back bumper to keep it from getting scratched when you place items in or take them out of the hatchback? I had a piece for my Murano that really saved the paint back there and I can see that it might be handy to have on the Versa as well.
