Here is a real good piece from AG taking a look at the Versa from a second opinion the writers wife, really a good read.

It points out many things we complain about like cold weather performance.

I can say for a fact this car does feel bogged down in cooler temperatures, several factors because of winter grade gas and warm up times take forever so the car idles higher also the CVT likes to keep revs low and the engine has lots of braking as you let off the gas all in the name of efficiency.

When I saw they got 28 MPG I went ouch, just seems wrong for a car with this engine/transmission combo. The past couple winters I get 36 MPG and 40 MPG in the spring/summer.

Anyone notice rougher idles in the colder temps when the car is cold, louder ABS pump or IACV when you come to a stop like at a red light? All the sounds go away once the car warms up.

Should have been more clear, when you cruising along say 35 MPH the RPMs can drop right above 1k but that's just normal or going down a hill it tries to hold steady.

Then again the computer logic will be different for each driver as it adapts to your style of driving. I rarely get over 2500 RPMs on my commutes.
