Howdy all. I am waiting (somewhat impatiently) for my new Magnetic Gray SL, with CVT and Sport Package.

I'm 6' 2" and long in the torso, so the Versa was a real breath of fresh air after the crowded cockpits of the Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta, etc. Speaking of fresh air, I'm normally not impressed by the feeling provided by a sunroof, but for some reason the Versa gives me a lesser version of the irrational grin I get from driving a Smart Cabriolet with the top down.

Had the new car for a month now, and I still can't wipe the grin off my face. This car is absolutely epic!

I'm liking the CVT more with each passing day, and this is possibly the most relaxing highway cruiser I've ever had. A perfect compromise between the overdone, floaty feeling of a land barge like my '78 Buick Estate Wagon, and the jiggly ride of a real pocket rocket like my '80 Civic HB slalom car.

I miss the trunk space of my trade-in (2002 Honda CR-V), but I've been surprised at how much music gear I can cram into this thing, without having to drop the back seat.

Initially, I thought that when I had some extra cash, I would like to put the Nismo suspension kit on it. But after noticing the way the chin spoiler catches on some of my friends' driveways, I think I'll give it a pass. Perhaps I'll try some aftermarket shocks, when the stock ones get long in the tooth...
