Unless and until they offer a S-ER (or simliar) version of the Versa it's going to be a pig on an autocross course. I suppose you could modify it (bigger wheels & tires, better brakes, tighter suspension, etc...) but that's going to add up in a hurry. Also I'm not sure how much of an aftermarket even exists for the Versa. In that respect you'd be better of with a Sentra.
How much autocrossing do you plan on doing? You might be better off getting something that's going to be a bit more competative right out of the box. The Miata, Mazdaspeed 3 and MINI Cooper S come to mind. Also, I hear the Cobalt SS is very good. Sure, they all cost more than a Versa or Sentra but only adding R compound tires would make all of those pretty quick around the cones. Better platforms to start from IMO.
