I like a plain, simple small sedan like the Versa especially with a 5MT. It's a little disheartening that the 5MT gets 5 mpg less than the CVT in both city and highway driving estimates. IIRC it's 27 city 35 highway with the stick versus 32 city 40 highway with the CVT.Nothing wrong with a basic manual Versa. The hardest thing to service is the cabin filter
I'll echo this statement. Good luck finding a dealer willing to order or find one for you. I worked at a Nissan dealership in sales many years ago and the sales managers had ZERO interest in getting one for a customer. There is little mark-up on base models cars like the Versa and they would rather sell you higher trim levels with higher mark-up to make more money.
That was in the 5/60 PT warranty. Hope they didn't lay down any long green for that repair!
update: I have not driven the new redesigned '23 model. But Nissan/Renault quality and build is suspect. I read now Nissan is kicking Renault to the curb - good move.
The major redesign happened in 2020 for the Versa.
Yeah... similar experience when we bought our Cruze 10 years ago, guessing it has not gotten any better based on all the supply chain up and downs over the last few years. Happens to be one sitting at a dealer close by with a couple of hundred of dollars in package stuff added on but I'm not really at the point of being ready to buy. At the same time, wondering what entry level/mid sized sedan I am going to be interested in when we actually "need to" buy (likely in the next few years) given the various price points as models continue to get slimmed down and MTs are few and far between.
I hope it was covered under warranty?
Not at all!
I wonder why it wasn't covered under the 5yr/60k mile power train warrant?
