RPM's at 70 mph

What year is your versa?

i'm close to 3500 in 6th (2010)

I have a 5speed manual with tach and its around 3.5-4K. And yeah, it sounds like it can use that extra gear. I wish the manuals were all 6speed.

Brand new 2012 1.6 with 5 speed
You can shift into 5th at 35mph with out problems really could use the 6th gear but thats why they charge extra for the CVT
Nissan doesn't want a 6sp manual getting better mileage then there CVT

This is true. I plan on swapping my 5speed out for a 6speed once it gets older and parts become more affordable...like Frenchy Chan's husband did with his Mazda3.

3400 rpm @70 mph in 5th gear. Just checked.

I still don't get why the hell they would sell a manual without a tach, I would never buy a car without a tach.

Just purchased the new Versa S 5sp 1.6
Since there is no tach does anyone know how many rpms we turn at 70 mph in 5th
Really sounds like it is winding out
