New Owner . It's my fiances car but I'll be the one taking care of it so I'm on here to learn anything I can about this car. (My personal vehicle is a 2004 F-150 XLT. )

Hope to get to know you all and enjoy "my fiances" New Versa

Welcome to the forums. Any plans for it?

When the "new" tires wear out I'll be upgrading her wheels and tires (Hate hub caps!) And I believe its the 1.6L but I'll double check tomorrow. (It's auto) I would like to do whatever it takes to get rid of the horrible whine when you "try" and get on the gas.. or even once you get up around 55-70mph its kinda whines and struggles to hold the speed. And one other small issue I've found was if you slowly accelorate it makes this funny slipping sound but if I gas it.. the best you can for this stock versa it shifts normal for a 4cy. Just so everyone knows I'm use to driving a 2004 Ford F-150XLT 4.6L with a programmer on it.. so I'm use to some power lol.

Welcome!

My old roommate had a 07 f150, I loved that thing. Those are some nice trucks.

It sounds like you're describing a CVT, that sound is normal, basically holds the revs high if you gas it. Like 1 gear.

Bah I hate it haha. Is there anything I can do to give the car a bit more pick me up? I know its only got like 110-120HP.. What would I have to do to get near 180HP? I just want more pickup without killing gas mileage.

An engine swap?

You can get an MR20DE(07-12 Sentra engine) for less than $1K. I believe those make around 145hp from factory so if you do that and get an intake for it you should be around 160hp, which is great for a Versa. :thumbsup:
