Some people have complained about crosswinds but i haven't found the handling any worse than the 89 tercel hatch i had. i have 08 versa hatch. 1.6 and stick is a rockin combo for big mpgs! many happy owners here, seems to be no major repeatable issues so far with new versa sedan and 1.6 I would pony up for the SV with manual if it's available in your area. Enjoy!
Buying 2012 Versa
Hey Guys!
Now new to forums or Hondas but I am definitely new to Nissans. Anyways, im basically looking for any "What to look out for" or "What lies ahead" if I do purchase a new Versa.
I am looking to buy a 2012 manual sedan (manual locks, windows, etc.) w/ the 1.6 for roughly $11k which seems to be an amazing deal!
So, what about the quality of the Versa? Are there any maintenance service items I need to look out for? I am used to the timing belt service for Hondas. Does the Versa have an interference motor? Also, I read some reviews about terrible handling on the interstate when it is windy, is there any truth to that?
I appreciate all helpful advice and pointers!
Thanks!

Nice! It is a CD5.
I don't have any recent pics that are decent but here is a quick one I snapped a couple months back. Its got quite a bit of work done to it....just needs a worthy powertrain.

Dont fight it. Lol You can do simple mods. Thats what I plan on doing. Basically going for looks.
Looks like i'll be getting a 2012 Versa S sedan on Saturday! $12,900.
Blue with black interior. Manual windows/locks. Comes with lifetime warranty on powertrain/tranny
No mods planned and none wanted other then buying a center console! Might put in a spare radio I have and tint the windows. Its going to be weird going from a modified Honda that lowered, racing seats, flip out touch screen display to this. lol Time to put the Honda in storage....
Oh, my cluster only has the speedometer gauge. Does the tiny little read out on the lower right display what mpg you are getting? Or is that only on the upgraded ones?

Thats good. And as far as I know, the higher end models have a different cluster so that must be why. You can always swap clusters though.
