Q: Where can i find a stereo system for my 2011 nissan versa?
i just bought a brand new versa but i has no stereo, where can i find a nice legit looking stereo for it?

A: BEST-BUY Crutchfield and many Stereo shops can preform a install that fits looks good and sounds good. Did you buy the 10,000 car or the 9,000 car with out A/C and radio car? I have to wonder why would some one finance a car with out the larger engine and Air conditioning and radio CVT transmission? Buying the fully loaded Versa could only be $50/60 more a month on a 72 month loan

Q: Do 2011 Nissan Versa Sedan come with spare tire?
Do all or any of the trims come with a spare tire, and how has the Versa been?

A: Well sometimes it varies by dealer and some have the option of a spare.

Q: I drove a 2011 nissan versa sedan in arizona and a hubcap came off.?
I did not run over anything. Has this happened to anyone else?

A: Maybe you shouldn’t drive a little car to arizona. Arizona is mostly for suv

Q: How do you update the GPS maps in the 2011 Nissan Versa?
I know that you don’t have to update them when you buy the car, I am asking for future reference.

A: There is a chip that goes in the Versa near the bottom of the stereo. You have to replace that.

I’m sure it’s about 300.00 so if you aren’t in an area that builds new roads all the time, I would not even do it…personally…but that’s up to you.

A: Reading the owner’s reviews from the link below you could not pay me to own one of these cars

Q: Factory nissan Versa speakers?
I just bought a 2011 nissan versa on saturday, and I opted to get one without a stereo, because in my old car I had a sub and an amp (which I removed), and I plan on putting them in my new car, and I know a factory radio doesnt have pre-amp hookups so I would be ripping the stereo out anyway which is why I didn’t want to pay the extra $1000 to get a versa with a stereo. The Versa does have pre-audio wiring and 4 speakers, which is awesome because I can get a stereo installed.I actually have an appointment at Best Buy on thursday to get everything installed. I just want to know if the Versa speakers are any good? The Kenwood stereo I got has a low pass filter setting, which is awesome, cause I can control the cut off frequency. I plan on limiting the amount of bass in my speakers which are brand new and have NEVER been used (no stereo)….I just want to know if the nissan speakers will be okay for about a year, because I do plan on upgrading
( just cant afford to right now). Thanks.

A: You’re smart to save the money and install aftermarket audio equipment. Your existing sub and amp should bring out the low end from your Kenwood.

Most factory speakers should be able to handle the output from a typical aftermarket head unit with no problems. Stock speakers in many Nissan’s are better than average and some even sound pretty good. I’d say run the stock speakers now and install better ones when you can afford them.

Q: Nissan Versa worth the price it is?
Ok so if you looked at my other two questions i have been asking around a lot about Hyundai and Kia. for Hyundai i got mixed reviews but more so towards the positive. Now for Kia i got the complete opposite.

With that in mind i would like to throw in the 2010 or 2011 Nissan Versa for review.
Once again im a simple college student that’s driving a car that will explode any moment so im trying to find a NEW cheap/small car that i can use for a while.

So for the money is the Versa worth it? Does it give up quality cause of the cost etc.

Serious answers only please

A: do not get the sedan only consider the hatchback

Q: nissan speaker dilemma?
I have a 3 day old 2011 Nissan Versa that I LOVE! The only thing is, I chose to get the trim without a stereo. Why? I’ll tell you.
My old car was a 2002 Toyota Echo and I had a bangin system in there. I had an Alpine MRP M500 amp and a Kenwood KFCW3012 12″ Sub. When I bought the Versa, I wanted to put these components in it, which is why I chose the trim without the radio, seeing as you can’t have an amp hooked up to a stock stereo. I have an appointment on Thursday to get my new Kenwood headunit installed, as well as my Alpine and Kenwood sub that I took out of my old car. Even though the Versa came without a stereo, they still put in Audio pre-wire and 4 speakers to allow the addition of an aftermarket stereo which is awesome. So, I’m stuck in a really weird position because i have no idea how the Versa stock speakers sound, but they are brand new and have never been used. I was wondering if I am still going to get quality sound with these stock speakers….I plan to have the EQ totally leveled out with the Highs, Mids, and Lows all tuned to 0 on the Head unit so there is limited bass coming through the speakers, and then tuning the amp and controlling the sub via the head unit accordingly to get my desired bass level. Do you think I can crank the Versa’s speakers to a loud volume with limited bass and get a nice clean sound? Thanks!

A: heres the better ? why didnt you get the stereo? your gonna have to pay like another $150 just to install your headunit. all new vehicles require a piece which is like 150. trust me i ran into this same problem with my 06 impala. if you could get your normal stereo you could have just bought a $15 line out converter which makes you able to hook up your amp and subs using your back speaker. now which one is better 150 or 15? trust me mine is hooked up with my impala and it sounds just as good as a normal headunit would make it. and you should be able to get clear sound from your speakers no problem.

Q: What do you think about the Nissan Versa?
I’m looking into buying a Nissan Versa, preferably a 2010 model. (I don’t want to splurge on a 2011…)
Obviously I’m not expecting a luxury car, seeing as how even the more souped up models are around the $13K mark. But I can’t find many reviews on any model newer than 2007.
Does anyone have a “review” or any information on a 2010 Nissan Versa? Pro’s; con’s; price; features; etc.
Also, please include information on radios, AC, power windows/doors, etc. I’ve noticed they don’t come on many of the more basic models.

A: Nissan shopping myself. Hated the Versa. Too tiny. Leg room is ok, but it’s a really narrow car. Ton of 2009 & 2008 Sentras available with low miles which people turn in from leases. Available for $11,000 with under 30,000 miles. Have owned two previously. They drive forever. Also, if I read it correctly at the dealership, the Versa hasn’t been rated yet for safety. Test drive it and see how you like it. The 2008 Sentra I’m looking at has cd & can play your ipod, ac, power windows, etc. Wasn’t thrilled about the color or the style, but after driving it, I’m sold!

Q: Anyone ever own a Nissan Versa?
My local dealership is offering stripped down ( not 2010 ) but 2009 Nissan Versas for $6,000. These cars are new with no mileage on them just trying to get them off the lot before getting the 2011’s. I realize that Toyota Corollas, Nissan Sentras, and Hyundai Elantras are better but I drive alot of miles to work and back and I’m a single guy with no kids to worry about alot of room. I have researched this car and find nothing but positive reactions from people who have bought them and test drivers as well. Thanks

A: I have been doing a lot of research on these because I am looking to buy a fuel efficient vehicle for work and want to keep the miles down on my G37. Plus, the 20mpg on premium is killing me.

For some reason, the Versa sedans (the only version available stripped) score very poor in overall reliability. Consumers indicate braking and engine issues and it is scored a ‘well below average’ by Consumer Reports.

That being said, however, paying $6,000 for a brand new car is a steal. You still get the full factory warranty, so if you buy a car that lasts 3 years, $6K is still a good price (about $150 a month payment before taxes).

Where do you live? How many of these are available?
I have been looking at 2000-2002 Toyota Echos for between $4000-$5000 in good condition but if I can get a brand new stripped Versa for $6K, I would jump all over that.

Q: Which car is better to get as my first car?
okay so im thinking of getting my first car but im stuck with these three choices..
2011 nissan Versa hatchback
2011 MAZDA2
or the 2011 Suzki Sx4 sport back
im going to rephrase the…… question, my first new car i have an hyundai elentra but it keeps breaking down. =(

A: MAZDA 2

Q: which sport scar to get?
okay so im thinking to get my first car but im stuck with this three choices..
2011 nissan Versa hatchback
MAZDA2 Touring
or the Suzki Sx4 sport back
sport car not scar sorry for the typo.

A: get the mazda2. The suzuki isn’t very sporty, and the versa is MOST DEFINETELY not sporty. The mazda and nissan are both pretty reliable, but the mazda is much sportier.its a great little car tht gets good fuel mileage and can be fitted with quite a few options for a good price. It’s also small, which is good for parking/maneuvering. I personally would rank them Mazda:1 suzuki 2 nissan 3. Hope I helped and Happy Holidays!

Q: my mom traded in her car for a new one as a downpayment, is there any way she can get her old car back?
Just 2 days ago my mom decided she wanted to trade in her 2005 Jeep Liberty for a 2011 Nissan Versa, because her liberty spent to much money on gas. She talked it out and the liberty was worth only 6,000.00. the Nissan Versa 16,000.00. they did the trade, and now she is thinking of getting the Jeep back, and returning the Nissan, cause she really dosent want to be making monthly payments. Is it possible for her to do that??
we live in california

A: The only way she will get it back is if she goes and buys it back. However, it won’t be $6,000. More like $8,000.

There is no way to cancel the contract on the Versa anyways, so her desire to walk away without monthly payments is not a realistic expectation.

No cooling off period for vehicles.
I don’t understand how she is ok with making monthly payments one day and then not ok with it the next.

EDIT – Since you live in California, you should know the facts about the right to rescind your auto contract. This would involve someone actually coming to your house, explaining the right, and you purchasing that right. If that did not happen, there is no ‘cooling off’ period.
I have to assume it did not happen, or they would have already explained your rights to return the car.

Q: Question about upgrading speakers?
I have a 3 day old 2011 Nissan Versa that I LOVE! The only thing is, I chose to get the trim without a stereo. Why? I’ll tell you.
My old car was a 2002 Toyota Echo and I had a bangin system in there. I had an Alpine MRP M500 amp and a Kenwood KFCW3012 12″ Sub. When I bought the Versa, I wanted to put these components in it, which is why I chose the trim without the radio, seeing as you can’t have an amp hooked up to a stock stereo.

Do you think I can crank the Versa’s speakers to a loud volume with limited bass and get a nice clean sound? Thanks!

A: The answer to that is yes.

There are basically 4 main parts of the audio spectrum… for simplicity, i will call them bass, midbass, mid and high.

any regular one piece speaker can produce 2 areas of the spectrum at the same time. this means that if you want to get mids and highs out of a speaker, you will be quite successful.
Similar if you want to get midbass and mids, for instance.

The reason for this is that the speaker has to physically move through the air to create the vibrations you hear as soundwaves. bass is a slow movement, while very high pitch would be moving almost 1,000 times as fast. (30hertz for sub woofer lows versus 20k hertz for tweeter highs)

Basically, asking a single cone speaker to move extremely fast while also moving extremely slow is just asking too much. a speaker can only handle a certain frequency range… which is where my 4 divisions come in.

So, on to your installation… you will find that the subwoofer on the amplifier can easily handle the bass and midbass for your small car. This means that your “stock” speakers can take over the job of the mids and highs.

If you have the equalizer set so that your stock speakers are only asked to handle the top portion of the sound spectrum, you will see that they perform surprisingly well. you just have to make sure to keep all the bass out of them. I have done installs like this before and they really rock on a budget.

You can experiment with it, but your settings will likely be something like -10 bass, -5mids +8 treble for the head unit. ((on a scale of +10 to -10)) This will allow the headunit to pump the 50 watts per channel (or whatever) to the door speakers filtered from distortion.

The SUB output on most head units is a separate output channel, so you can normally adjust that individually.

You will see that you get loud, distortion free music with a lot of separation between the lows and highs. Make sure you turn off the “loudness” feature, or at least experiment with it off. Loudness sort of overrides the equalizer function to some extent.

Q: Is your VW breaking down? Please respond if yes or no.?
I’m thinking of buying a 2011 Jetta but I’m worried about the maintenance fees. Could you comment on the reliability of your Volkswagen car?

(Right now I’m also considering the Honda Fit and the Nissan Versa.)

A: The newer the VW the more reliable it will be (the mk4 had a lot of trouble but since your not thinking of getting one..). My 1997 Jetta with the vr6 has been trouble free for me. Like many others have said, VWs need more love (maintenance) than Hondas or Nissans.

Just get it, lower it, and keep it fresh.
