I just purchased a Versa S +, the plus adds enough to make it a much better car still at a very low price point. I am just frustrated by the lack of a remote for lock and unlock.
I just got one a few days ago. Still getting used to that too but there’s so much else I like that it wasn’t a dealbreaker. Less to break. I like the simplicity of the car
Just picked up this exact car on Saturday about 260 miles on it. I think these things with the manual given reasonable care in maintenance and driving gently will serve us well. I’ve got the Kumho Solus tires / seem to get ok reviews .
Totally agree, i use mine for commuting back and forth on the east coast. So far it's been great, except for the one time in limp mode. Hopefully won't need tires for awhile!
NHTSA Opens Investigation into Nissan Versa Engine Stalling - Lemon Alert "The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 20 complaints and multiple field reports describing reduced power (limp mode) following a vehicle stall in 2022-2024 Nissan Versa vehicles equipped with a manual/standard transmission. The complaints allege that if the vehicle stalls, resulting from releasing the clutch too fast (or for other reasons), the vehicle goes into the limp mode resulting in limited torque available to move, or accelerate the vehicle. This limp mode occurs without prior warning and can occur while driving on the highway, or in city traffic. Several of the complaints allege not being able to maintain vehicle speed above 30 MPH or accelerate to avoid a potential hazard." I bought a 2022 Nissan Versa with a manual, and because of how crude it was and especially because of how uncomfortable it was on the highway, I traded it in for a Corolla Hatchback, even though my Versa only had 12K miles on it. The Corolla is a much nicer and more capable car, especially on long road trips. By the way, I experienced the limp mode condition after stalling, and after that happened once, my engine developed a slight knocking noise. I'll never buy another Nissan again.
I was looking into replacing my 24+ year old Saturn SL2 with one of these with the manual trans. So is it true this base model does not come with remote locking/unlocking doors? My Saturn does. Also the not split rear seat is a big deal for me. I've hauled many a large object by folding down the seat backs Including my bicycle. The best mpg I've gotten with my Saturn is 41 highway. Are there any other negative surprises I should know about? My Saturn is pretty basic but your Versa seems even more basic.
Yup, no key fob! Im sure a car audio shop could install one. The non foldable seat is an issue. The limp mode activating is worrisome as well. This has only happened once though. Other that those things it has done exactly as i hoped. If ya didnt need the manual, you could move up a notch and get split seats and FOB
I drove fiats in 70's and 80's driving fiat 124, 131 Brava .I put on pirelli P77- best traction; it was rwd best traction in snow. I wish these vehicles were available today.
I bought the exact same center console. Either the back USB ports on the car or on the console don't seem to work very well. I have a USB stick with my music plugged into the front USB port. When i plugged my phone in to charge in the center console it glitched my USB stick. I had to re-upload my music. I don't even use the back USB ports anymore.
Because Nissan Just slapped a Manual transmission and did not bother to reprogram a CVT based Engine computer module. I believe limp mode is supposed to be a safety feature to prevent excess engine power ruining the CVT under certain conditions, maybe the computer senses something wrong in the transmission thinking it is a CVT and it just shuts the power or prevent more power delivery to the transmission.
@@slingshotengage I heard the recently produced 2024 ones don't suffer the limp mode defect, maybe Nissan reprogramed the newly manufactured ones. I just got a new 2024 Manual versa last week, manufactured in May 2024 just the previous month before I bought it. I have not stalled the car yet but I will report what I experience when I do.
That's funny when you say you finally have 10,000 miles on your 2024 Versa. I have a 2023 Kicks over a year old, and I'm just getting to 6,000 miles. NTSA has opened an investigation into the stalling and limp mode on the manual Versa.
As far as the limp mode goes I don’t own one of those but I’ve read before that it goes into limp mode sometimes if you either stall it or don’t turn the key for long enough for it to start. Supposedly the NHTSA is investigating and Nissan is supposed to have a fix soon if they don’t already have one. Edit: if you go to the NHTSA website and search Nissan Versa and click 2023 Nissan Versa then scroll down click on investigations and you can see “reduced power after engine stall”
Auto UNLOCK ---- to enable/disable auto-unlock: (or) auto-lock 1. Close all doors. 2. turn ignition key to the ON position. 3. Press and hold the door unlock switch for 5 seconds or more 4. switch is completed when the hazard lamp blinks. 2 blinks = enabled 1 blink = disabled Note - to enable/disable the "auto lock" feature is the same procedure, but press the lock button.
It may be affordable but I wish I hadn't bought mine. This car is shorter than the 2015 Versa I had. Rear seats have no leg room. Trunk is smaller. Front passenger seat can not be changed in height. Glove compartment is smaller. You have to buy your own screws to attach the front license plate. At this time you can't get the cameraa (which cover a large part of the windshield), auto dim rear view mirror factory installed. The worst part is they built the car with crevices that can't be cleaned of debris all over the car ( too many recessed gaps between top and sides of car and front and rear windows. Not worth the cheap price.

They were made in Mexico so do not expect it to last as poor quality control issues there. S model does not have Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, HD Radio & SiriusXM Satellite Radio. There is no keyless entry but you can add a aftermarket alarm to open the doors remotely.
Mine is an S but had the S+ package so I have Apple CarPlay. Yeah no keyless entry is taking some getting used to. I did have a remote start put in but still have to unlock the door. At least after I do the car will be nice and warm. A must have in the northeast when I don’t have a garage

Myself, I'll take a 10 dollars to replace if lost physical key any day over a 300 dollar key fob that someone can hack electronically !

Wow, thanks for all the info! Will be passing this along
I bought the same car manual and I experienced the same thing. Huge loss of power and no acceleration. I only have 2k miles on it.
I'm getting 33 in the city and 43 highway with my 2024 versa S manual . Driving style has a lot to do with what mpg you can expect I think .

You can always buy aftermarket
I love Procontacts and I had them on a FIAT for years. Then my 2021 Corolla HB came with crappy Dunlops but I fixed that this year, all good now.

As for the limp mode thing It might be something with the ABS is what my friend said. It happened after doing the tire rotation on hers.

did you take the hubcaps off because you think it looks better w/o them on or for a different reason?
I thought it looked better, gave it a more "sporty" look
And he gets an additional 5hp and 5mpg
I'd get chrome beauty rings.
Would you recommend this vehicle for mainly highway driving 95% highway . Enough pickup??
Yeah, that's all i do with it. If it's loaded down or the A/C is on, it's a lil sluggish
Good thing your doors don't unlock..someone can try and enter when you stop.
how can a manual go into limp mode?
Right! But it did, no power at all
