If she gets it, I'll be sure to autoX it and see what happens. Should be...interesting.

The suspension is almost identical to the B14/B15 setup. The only thing that is probably different is the upper mount. (which is different between B14 and B15 as well)

Hm, time to read Kojima's blog.

I bet the CG is way higher though; the car looks like a small minivan to me.

I doubt it's much higher than a stock B15. It weighs about the same as well.

Isn't the Versa just a Renault Megane with a Nissan badge? French build quality scares me.

:p

It's the Nissan Tiida, for the other parts of the world.

So far it's been a better car than some other models we have out there......

Too bad there's not a supercharger or something available, could be a fun little car.

I think I'll try to talk her into a Mini if her car dies. At least we could autoX it.

It's not hard to fabricate a turbo setup for the car.

Those darn Mini's are pretty fun too though.

Or she could get a Honda Fit and you could swap in a K20. That would get her the size car she wants and the autocross ability you want. A bit more work though.

When the fit came out I looked into that a little, just out of curiosity. I love K20s and K24s, but the newer honda platforms don't do it for me at all.

Anyways, her damn Mercury seems to be holding out, and she's pretty broke, so I don't think a remotely fun car is in her foreseeable future.

This thread haunts me every time I check NRR.

My S14 was stolen, her Sable was stolen, and now we live somewhere else and she has a turbo forester which is pretty sweet. Thread is irrelevant, and besides the answer now is Fiesta or Mazda2.

Lol. I say mazda2! ...I just think this thread is funny. Every time I log on this one just jumps out at me in the center of my screen. It never gets touched and no one will probably ever post in this category ever again. Lol. Its actually kind of a shame we don't have more FWD Nissan geeks on this sight.
