I love my very new Versa (S model with power package, Magnetic Gray color), but ran into a problem on the way back from the dealor (I had to go about 150 miles from home to find the one I wanted). It's a problem mentioned by another poster here. When you swing the sun visor to the side, it covers only part of the top of the side window. A large gap is left for the sun to stream in, and that can be quite uncomfortable. Any suggestions on how to deal with it (it can be brutal in the Southern California summer). I wonder if sun visor extenders are available, and if so, hopefully they are not hideously ugly. David

This will help cut the sidewindow glare and also let in some fresh air without the rain and snow blowing down your neck. Now, you can also leave the side windows down an inch or so to help stop the Bake Oven effect of parking in the blazing sun. I notice your posting was way back in Aug. so I am su  re you have come up with these solutions by now. But for the rest of the New V owners, it's something to think about.

I'm going to come up with something to fill the gap between the visors. It's fairly wide and leaves a lot of room for being blinded by that late afternoon sun this time of year

I very interested in buying a Versa but recently healthycars.org measured the pollutants (volatile organic compounds, lead, and other metals) in 200 different new cars and rated the cars according to the risk to humans. Versa came out worst among all 200 cars in the rankings! This has tempered my enthusiasm for the Versa but I don't see another car on the market that so exactly meets my needs. Does anybody have experiences to share about perceived health issues such as breathing problems or headaches after buying a Versa?

I love these lists. Worst on the list. I doubt that worst on the list is any more "harmful" to you than #100 on the list. Frankly, if I was THAT concerned about exposure to pollutants, I wouldn't go near a car. This is purely my own experience, but "new car smell" really wasn't all that pronounced in my Versa, or any other new car I've sat in lately. But to each his own. |

Replying to: kimberkenobi (Mar 28, 2007 1:36 pm)  I know some folks who are are pretty much afraid to do anything that has any risk at all...which means they pretty much do nothing but worry about whether they're about to do something risky. My Versa was purchased in early February and I've been in the same "closed window" mode until yesterday. Nobody that's been in the car has remarked about anything unusual. As you note, medical conditions are an entirely different matter. |

When we took our test drive, the wife remarked that she thought it was unusual that the black interior was only black up to the level of the windows. Above that level everything is that light beige. I thought it was "different" but it really works visually, creating a feeling of more room. There's plenty of actual headroom, but if the headliner was black to match the seats, the space might feel more closed in.
