Love my 24 versa manual, got mine in the electric blue and have a little over 4k miles so far. Absolutely love the car it’s awesome, great car highly recommended.
@@glennmadsen9259 That may have been true on '60s new cars or hand built engines, but not today. You're best to just do what the owner's manual says, otherwise it's a waste of money.
still got my 2015 s with over 100k cost me $12900 new,do my own oil changes and rotations,i rarely use 1 st gear its super low . i get into 5th gear around 35mph.dash board mileage is 5 to 10 miles optomistic.i do get 40 mpg and over keeping my own real written down records,there are a lot more electronics in the new ones. age here is 68
Great video series! I've got a '24 5mt Versa myself. Could you do the 5mt community a huge favor and post a video of the sound from the transmission in idle after a drive? I've noticed that, on some Versas, the throwout bearing tends to emit a rattling noise in idle when warm.
Economic and other conditions really call for simple reliable cars like Nissan Versa, Honda Fit, etc., yet typical Americans are not accepting of the realities. I myself own a '19 Fit EX MT6 (very rare because '18 and '19 Fit EX MT6 are the only manual Fits with Honda-Sensing). Of course, Honda discontinued Fit in the North American market a few years ago, even though they have a newer (super cute) version elsewhere in the world. For your Versa, I'd suggest getting a leather steering cover (the one that requires you to spend a few hours manually stitching it on), and a seat cover (I got them cheap Type-S ones from Costco). I took the time to learn how to do "baseball" stitches and I love the steering wheel feel, even though I doubt it's "real" leather.
One of the many things I like about this car is that it feels like a fleet car. I know they make a good rental car for example. But it feels like it's designed to take a beating and keep on going and be easy to repair when needed. I unfortunately hit a nasty pothole in mine the other day but it seems to be no worse for wear.
Looks like West Virginia. Beautiful... A couple of things. I don't give a hoot about push-button start. I see it as a useless gimmick. But for any car at any price built in the last 20 years, I find it absolutely unacceptable not to have keyless entry. I wonder if it could be added as an accessory. While I'm griping, any large screen festooned in the middle of a dashboard that doesn't, at least, offer Android Auto or Apple Carplay is a monumental waste of space, and worse, a needless distraction. And if what I've read elsewhere is correct, it is not easily upgraded after the fact. Mirage gives you these things standard. Just a head-scratcher why Nissan would give you something like parking sensors in such a small car...something I would guess most buyers wouldn't miss... instead. Nevertheless, I found a dealer close by that has a few in stock--any color you like, as long as it's dark grey--and I'm planning on buying one ASAP.
bought a black on black 2024 versa S today, should have it in a few days. first new car, just bought it blind. i have a 2016 cx-5 GT but I wanted a '90s car' i could drive forever with great MPG. my main car gets 20 =(
@@SpacedFallen some Nissan dealerships do a “buy@home” so I was able to buy it online. It’s hard to find this trim, the dealership I got it from was about 100 miles away. They drove it to my house after I bought it.
I do not have a versa but a 2017 Nissan Sentra SV which has the CVT. I know its frowned upon but I wanted to just post this here and it has over 125,000 miles on it. I bough the car new. The only issue I am having with it now is it will need front end bushings. Otherwise I am averaging 42 miles per gallon which is over the 37 mpg it is rated. I am hearing that this is the new popular Nissan these days. Only thing I do not like about the Versa when I rented one is the car felt uncomfortable to sit in compared to my Sentra, the center armrest which was not on that car which was a 2020 as well as no back seats that fold down. It was a good car otherwise.
Great video, as usual. I love my '24 versa manual. Only complaint is no key fob. I really wish I could lock/unlock the car remotely. What are your thoughts on the maintenence suggestion to change the gear oil every 20k miles?
Nice, was always curious about this car bc it’s one of the last truly inexpensive cars on the market. If I didn’t need awd I would’ve seriously considered this during my move across the country. We got a base brand new 6 speed Subaru Crosstrek instead. Also feels like a 90s car, very refreshing
I have a theory on this car post 2019 (Third generation 2020-2024). I drove the car home from the dealer Saturday about 90 miles . Add in 60 miles of low mileage test drive activity before I bought it I still show cumulative 38mpg. I think what happened here is Nissan gaining more control with buying stock from Renault and this redesign being so much better than the second generation they are saying we are back and we learned from the mistakes that were made that required a lifeline.
There’s rumors after the 2025 year Nissan won’t longer make Versa’s. How true that is I’m unsure but that would be completely stupid in this economy. People are on a budget.
@@youtoobe169Yeah, I haven't heard anything about how much longer Nissan would be building this great looking smallish economy car. Maybe just one more year of the manual transmission perhaps? I haven't heard that from anywhere, though.
owners: what is the suggested interval on changing cvt fluid, and ballpark cost? i physically can’t do a manual transmission nor can i change my own fluids, but i want a simple, inexpensive car. i don’t cheap out in maintenance so my cars last long. thank you!
@@jtns2845 Very important to change fluid at least as often as the manual says. CVT'S are critical on maintenance. Try to stretch it and you may pay the price...failed tranny.
I have ben driving manual transmission cars for over 55 years and the Nissan Versa clutch has been the most difficult to adjust to. Maybe its lightness or possibly hill assist have made me feel like anewbie.. It is also very quiet so hard to audibly pick up shift points. I only have 225 miles on it so I am not giving up on nit yet Any tips would be appreciated.
