#33 of 42 CVT by sandman46 Jun 20, 2008 (5:34 pm)
Just what I suspected...the CVT would be a much smoother ride. Not sure why the sales guy didn't put us into a CVT Versa after driving the CVT Sentra? Wider tires will always give a smoother, more controlled ride over skimpier sneakers. Plan on keeping my Civic till I retire...we're starting our search for my two girls.   The Sandman Replies to this message: longo2 (Jun 20, 2008 8:39 pm)

Replying to: sandman46 (Jun 20, 2008 5:34 pm) We are also looking at what the options are for a couple of teenagers. To be honest, these guys arn't car guys. ...sigh.    So then, what we have decided is that for these kids, we want a car that has the best reliablity and longest warranty on the planet.    They all love our Versa, but according to the newest info on reliabilty and 5 to 10 year warranty,..it will be a Hyundai.   The Elantra beat the Civic for top spot by 1/2 a point on reliability, but our new 2003 Honda Odyssey 3 year warranty seemed to run out overnight.   USE THE SLIDESHOW FEATURE TO ENLARGE AND SCROLL   http://picasaweb.google.com/longo3002/VersaPics

The oldest wants the Elantra and her sister wants a Mini, which I doubt she'll get. We're also thinking that they should lease to start building some credit history and hopefully with full time employment around the corner, they can get what they want after the lease period is over. I want them to get a 1st car that's "cheap to keep" so that reliable transportation won't be an issue. Now we're also floating around the idea of buying a "retirement" condo in Orlando for them to live in and pay us rent until we retire in a few years. A win/win situation for us all we think. Looks like it's gonna be an expensive 6 months in our house. Ah, the duties of a parent go on and on...lol!   The Sandman

My dealership was not able to fix punctures on the weekend so I went to Sears. They sealed the tire. When I left Sears the light was still on and they did not have a manuel. They said the light will re-adjust in a few miles and it did. No light going on since.
#37 of 42 OEM tires by pf_flyer HOST Nov 05, 2008 (6:16 am)
About my only "complaint" about my Versa was the Continental tires that came on it. I wasn't impressed with their traction, especially in wet conditions, and I pushed it to squeak 30,000 miles out of them. I would have changed them at about 20,000 if it hadn't been coming into warmer weather.   I've got about 8,000 on the Cooper CS4's I put on and they're definitely wearing better and have better traction than the Conti's Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Nov 24, 2008 10:02 am)

Replying to: pf_flyer (Nov 05, 2008 6:16 am) I took a bit of time to closely inspect my Cooper CS4's yesterday. Over 9000 miles and they seem to holding up just fine as I approach the second rotation. The OEM Continentals were showing noticeable wear just 6 months and about 6,000 miles into their lifetime
#39 of 42 In the snow by pf_flyer HOST Dec 23, 2008 (5:32 am)
Finally got to put the new tires to the test in winter conditions. The Cooper CS4's are SO much better than the OEM Continentals were. Certainly a dedicated snow tire would be better, but I'm pleased with the choice.

Replying to: julian4 (Nov 27, 2006 9:30 am) If you put your heater on defrost most cars are disigned for A/C to come on automatically. This helps the defrost to defog the windshield more quickly and keeps A/C compressor lubricated inside during offpeak (winter) nonuse off A/C.
#41 of 42 Tire follow-up by pf_flyer HOST Jul 14, 2009 (4:43 pm)
Well I'm loving the Cooper CS4's I put on 27,000 miles ago. The OEM Continentals were completely shot at 30,000 miles, but these CS4's ride quieter, have better traction, and if tire tread depth is any indicator, are going to have about double the tire life of the Conti's. I had been using Kelly Navigator Golds on my vehicles for years, but they don't come in the Versa tire size so my good buddies at Tire Town put me onto the Coopers.   And if you're thinking I put a lot of miles on my car you would be right! Having a kid involved with AAU basketball will do that to you... in a hurry! I can't wait until she starts playing in college
#42 of 42 Whoa... by iluvmysephia1 Jul 16, 2009 (3:10 pm)
AAU basketball. I haven't heard those terms of basketball usage for quite some time. Obviously it's a level of ball that's still alive and well, and probably just as competitive as the AAU League's that existed when my Dad played AAU and college basketball.   Good for you and for her, it sounds like a blast!
