What's up with all these bulky looking cars that Auto companies are designing? They're really not attractive or stylish at all..

The answer is simple. Japanese drive small cars, but the cars the design for the US are bigger and bulkyer to fit our fat overweight american asses into.
I just read somewhere that the are intentionally making the seats wider for export models.

when i tell ppl that they automaticly think he works at the dealerships or some crap.. but no its the corp.. and the only sales he does is making sure all the dealerships in his section buy 2k$ worth of accessories on each nissan car/truck.. hes in the top 5 in the country in what he does...
so its just weird how hes never mentioned anything of this sort about the car... and then willing to help me buy it.. whats your inside trek nissan god? seriously..

I didn't say the car was shitty. I am however questioning the quality of the build. Concerning the body, the real test will be when the NHTSA conducts their crash testing. The strut towvers may be designed to colaps down under the body along with the engine. As far as the brazing goes..... Not a good Idea. And concerning the engine, this is not uncommon, their are several models in Nissans line the require removal of the intake to replace spark plus, I'm just saying that I would prefer no to have to do that. I am still planning on buying one, unless I can get a good deal on a FIT.

What kind of facility does Nissan have in Dallas?

Hey if you want to know anything else about the Versa just let me know and I will get back to you. I can not how ever send pictures, but if you have question on how I think something is put together or how it feels, just ask.

Joe, you brother wouldn't and could not possibly know the things that I know about the Versa. I can't give you much detail here in the forum with out exposing myself to the world, don't worry about who I am. I just want to contribute to the forum with the information that I know. I am a Nissan enthusiast and would prefer to remain anonymas.

I just found this thread after searching the Mr18De. I saw the VERSA and my comment to the sales guy was it looks like a Clio, and it does...
As for the Engine and structure design, if this is derived from a Renault design count me out.
That explains the $300 plug change.....
Did you look at the engine mounts?
I find it hard to believe this is a new design, very few of these cars are a clean sheet of paper, they always refine and fiddle and call it new for the sales and marking people to sell.
So whats the scoop ???
