Then, I found the reason why. It was not that European car were any different. It was because our cars were starting to look like theirs, and we were getting used to the looks. That Versa looks almost exactly like some of the Renaults in Europe.
3. Kelowna BC. You must be a neighbor to the famous "Ice Road Trucker" that lives in Kelowna.
1. I thought they all were cvt as well until i looked into the cars a bit more. The versa is the only one i think with the normal auto. Its the cheapest car they have so i can see why they offer the regular auto. They do have the cvt option as well as the 5 or 6 speed manual.
2. I as well thought they were a funny looking and egg shaped but now i think they are cool looking machines. renault co-developed the engine with nissan and im not sure what else is part renault but it sure is a nice car. I took it out today for a few erramds and like it more and more every time i do.
3. yes Hugh is very close. he lives in the town down the road. He actually lives in a town called winfield. ten minute drive from me. I have actually hung out with him and rick. At my prior job I also made hoses for their machines. Hugh has a construction company as well. R&R hoe service. It actually says pimping aint easy on his card. Kinda tacky but common around here. I work for his neighbor a few times a year and he tells me all the stories. They are quite good friends.
It kinda sucks in my owners manual that 5w30 is preffered all year around and does not have a temp chart. In the service manual it says you can use 10w30 or 10w40 or the 5w30 for best fuel mileage. I want to see if nissan will let me use 0w30. It was -9 celsius here and would love to throw some 0 wt in it. My plan is to use the nissan full syn and oil filter as well.
They list two intervals the first one the severe sched and its 3 months and 6000k, and the less severe one is 12,000km and 6 months. im planning to do the severe one and uoa it to see whats up.
