Replying to: largemarge3 (Sep 23, 2007 12:30 pm) largemarge3, are the windows open or closed when you hear this noise? My Versa ( S HB with VO package) is very quiet most of the time, but I've noticed that wind-buffeting noise can get pretty bad when one or both of the rear windows are open.   Hope this helps.

Replying to: largemarge3 (Sep 23, 2007 12:30 pm) I'll say this... the sounds the Versa makes is certainly different than my Sentras made and what comes from my 2001 Altima. It's geared a bit lower in 6th gear than my Altima is in 5th and so is turning at higher RPMs, and that makes me fell like it could handle higher gearing or a 7th speed   But I wouldn't classify it as overly loud. It sort of seemed so at first, but I have a feeling that if I measured it, it wouldn't be significantly different. Replies to this message: grubster (Sep 24, 2007 7:20 am)

Replying to: pf_flyer (Sep 24, 2007 5:13 am) I hadn't bought a new car for over 8 years before the Versa, so I was very pleasntly surprised by how refined small cars have become in the last few years. Compared to my '00 Neon, the Versa's a Cadillac inside as far as noise goes. Even on the highway, it's possible to have a normal conversation. It's only when the windows are open that noise becomes more of an issue, at least so far.

I love driving my Versa. I barely hear any noise from the road or the engine when idling. Even starting the car is quiet. The only thing that bothers me is that I can't see the hood of the car, even when I inflate the seat. Right-hand arking is harder for me, and that might be a reason, or I just suck at parking.

I like my Versa as well. I'm getting used to not seeing the hood. Was a little disconcerting at first. Parking close to curbs has taken a bit of getting used to as well, but that might have been me just being cautious with a new vehicle.   We're going to need another vehicle in about a year for my one daughter, and she's hinted she wants MY Versa!

I can't see the hood either but I have more issues with the back end. Still getting used to having a hatchback.   I recently went up to the Palomar Observatory and the handling and acceleration were stellar on the twisty mountain roads. Easily the funnest drive I've had in a long time!!
