  • CVT was a very dumb invention!!

  • the nissan i remem did not make a big sound like that, n it mayb was similar because i see in both that the the change is awful

  • when the overdrive turns on does it let the rpms go up higher? like do u need to wait for the overdrive to kick in before it reaches 6000 rpms?

  • this has to be one of the dullest cars ever made

  • wake me up when it hits 60

  • CVT is so wird lol

  • Comment removed

  • Kinda sad that a 8,000-9,000 lbs 6.6l Duramax silverado 2500 is faster.

  • i could make a make a sandwich, and take a nap before it hit 60

  • I think my 1.6l 5 speed is faster than that.

  • all in one gear? :S

  • @iotuelui its CVT...lol

  • I have a old worn out 93 S10 with a 4.3 v6 that will leave this Versa in the dust. Pretty sad when a truck with 300,000 miles is faster than a new car.

  • @redneckfl1 thats like saying "i got 1973 Porsche 911 targa that would smoke this thing. its kinda sad that my 38 year old car could smoke this new car" nobody on youture really knows what your point is. now a better comparison is my 2012 stock focus, its faster than the versa and in a similar category.

  • @healonator

    So my 3000gt with a sohc 12 valve minivan engine will smoke your focus.

  • @broskiskunk wow...once again i was comparing similar cars, not really sure what your point is. i said faster....faster compared to a versa....didnt say it was the fastest thing out there. enjoy your minivan

  • @redneckfl1 thats like saying "i got 1973 Porsche 911 targa that would smoke this thing. its kinda sad that my 38 year old car could smoke this new car" nobody on youture really knows what your point is. now a better comparison is my 2012 stock focus, its faster than the versa and in a similar category.

  • @redneckfl1 thats like saying "i got 1973 Porsche 911 targa that would smoke this thing. its kinda sad that my 38 year old car could smoke this new car" nobody on youture really knows what your point is. now a better comparison is my 2012 stock focus, its faster than the versa and in a similar category.

  • I have a 1993 S10 with a 4.3 v6 that will blow the doors off this Nissan Versa. And the S10 has almost 300,000 miles on it and burns oil.

  • @redneckfl1 What's your point? Those cars are not in the same category. You're comparing apples to oranges (1.8 I4 vs. 4.3 V6). The fact that one is old and one is new is irrelevant to the argument that one is faster than the other. And as far as cars go, the Versa is one of the slowest ones available, so your S-10 better blow the doors off of it, otherwise you've got some "splainin to do".

  • @redneckfl1 that the same engine in the blazer? if so im pretty sure the s10 is slower unless it weighs alot less than the blazer

  • i know this is a dumb question, but why does it not shift? or look like its shifting anyways, the rpms stay just about the same

  • That was pitiful...

  • 0 to 60 in 10 days!

  • Ugh I hate CVT engines

  • @Greenshow81

    cvt isnt a engine, its a transmission

  • does anybody else think that the eveloution of man goes faster that this

  • This car can beat a nissan juke in the twisties

  • 10.4s. Slow.

  • @kris1991 car and driver has is at 9.1 seconds for a cvt nissan versa hatchback. not terrible and at the time was about the fastest automatic car in the segment..

  • I'm a boy whose 16 and wants low insurance what do you recommend for a car? that's cheep...and reliable haha

  • @bluerox1314 a horse and carriage -_- lol

  • @bluerox1314 something used that wasnt designed to cater to teenage boys. so let me put it this way: if you think its cool, dont get it.

  • @bluerox1314 not this car. i had it and i ended up trading it after 15k miles. this car is not for you and im telling you bc i was 18 when i had it.

  • Why did the OD light come on if its a CVT??

  • @QueenTopGear It was inadvertently activated by the co-pilot. D'oh!

  • @mpgomatic No I meant why does it have one in the first place if its a cvt?

  • I really don't like CVT transmissions. I personally can not see the advantages....Maybe someone else with more knowledge can enlighten me.

  • @wolf1010 ... the advantage is better fuel economy while remaining an "automatic" ... and some don't like shift-shock which the CVT lacks.

  • @ghrpdx I can understand the first part, but I haven't been in an automatic made within 10 years that had any shift shock =]

  • @wolf1010 cvt is similar to porsche's PDK which is an automatic without shift shock and is actually 0.1-0.3 seconds faster 0-60 than the manual version (:

    ENLIGHTENED!

    auto trans are getting better manual is still cool tho

  • about 10 seconds?

    mpg o matic should include their timers.

  • CVT is just plain stupid and boring. 6 speed manual or auto is the way to go

  • @sexydannyb11 Hell yea.

  • why did u put the overdrive on when you got to a certain speed

  • cvt tranny is just weird, why does it stay at a certain RPM while the vehicle is going faster? how's that even possible

  • @pkidro ... the transmission knows what the driver wants from it ... if you have your foot planted on the floor, it's going to stay in the upper RPMs to give you the most horsepower.

  • @ghrpdx oh ok, that makes sense

  • CVT ?

  • @123dodgecharger continually variable transmission....

  • @awesomeness2571 yes i know what cvt means

  • 0:09 what is that light above the orange display that turned on?

  • @diegodaudt

    its the overdive and it was turned off

  • @diegodaudt  Its the OverDrive light

  • i watched this like 10 times.... did it go 0-60 in one gear...?

  • @midgetmayo it has a cvt transmission it has no gears so no time or speed is wasted during shifting

  • @dabeave126 thanks

  • @midgetmayo it does look pretty odd doesnt it? for a second, it looks like shes gonna blow!!

  • Terrible performance! I could not see why anyone would buy this turtle. I know it's not for racing or anything but it has to more than break a sweat just to get up to speed on the freeway.

  • @ldxml

  • @ldxml its the fastes cheap automatic car u can buy. faster than the new fit by a full 2 seconds to 70mph in a recent comparo and faster than the dual clutch ford and they even said they liked the cvt better because the dual clutch had wierd behavior.. something like dat...

  • About the same time it takes my bicycle's chain to rust off.

  • CVT is some crazy shit man!

    sounds weird as fuck too! haha but it only gets like 2MPG moree. its not thaaaaaat great. but cool idea.

  • very slow !

  • @NorthernShooter 0-60 in 9.1 seconds is not bad for this class of car. i think a base auto accord does it in 8.9 seconds. .2 seconds faster and i think the new subaru legacy did it in 9.0 seconds though i may b quoting different mag times.

  • @NorthernShooter Dumbass, did you look at what an entry-level car this is? I don't mean to be snappy, but if you understand what this car is aimed at, about 10 seconds is slightly more than acceptable.

  • @mrlovesjesus811

    it not a poor performance,

    CVT is good for Fuel Economy.

    Cvt is faster than AUTO, not like 2X faster.

    For example, if you have 200 hp engine with autotransmission, Just shifting different gear.

    With CVT, CVT is just like Snowmobile's transmission.

  • not really poor performance the performance should be better cause u dont loose speed while the car is shifting gears my friend had a previouse gen maxima with a cvt and it was very quick

  • i drive a nissan versa s 2007 and its only cvt that has that problem mine dont go up that slow im glad i didnt get cvt lol

  • @adamhuaman which transmission do u have?

  • 10.5 seconds

  • Cousin had a Versa. Good car, but as much fun to drive as a dishwasher.

  • i have a 08 versa, but it is manual. even with no mods whatsoever, you can still hit 60 in under 9, its the automatic transmission that sucks.

  • yeah CVT transmissions are only one speed thats why it does not shift

  • @Kia0Rio no, it's more like it has thousands of speeds because of the variable ratios

  • @Kia0Rio

    No, when you speed it up, The CVT wheel is changing to different sizes which cause to change the different Power Ratio to go faster.

  • I have an '84 "K" car that's quicker.

  • its 10k -_-

  • what do you expect its an economy car... of coarse its not going to get up to 60 that fast. but def. the better choice in its class. Versa's are nice

  • wow it took ten seconds from 0-60 thats horrible

  • Well it isn't designed to break 0-60 records. 9.5-10 seconds is the average 0-60 time for a car in it's class.

  • I'd much rather have a Honda Fit.

  • @sleeksilver auto fit takes 11 seconds.

  • Okay, to all you fucking illiterate Neanderthals I was being polite when I said DON"T RESPOND. I said that because I am tired of this overrated discussion. Learn to fucking read before speaking to me because if you people haven't noticed I don't need your responses. I don't give a horses ass what you think about my car or any other vehicle for that matter. If you continue to bother me about this ridiculous rant I will have your asses reported. You have been warned!!!!!

  • A) You have no grounds to report anyone on YouTube, regardless of what they do to you.

    B) You are an arrogant jackass.

    C) Your English is horrible, and filled with malapropisms.

    D) If you want to make an outrageous claim that is in fact true, the logical way to do it *ON YOUTUBE* is to make a video of it. So, let's see then. . . .

  • Wow. This is Nissan. I was expecting this to be faster by a couple seconds compared to the Yaris. It turns out that Yaris is a couple tenths of a second faster.

  • I'm digging that cluster.

  • sounds like it's dying

  • i still think that the fit wud rape this car in a solid race

  • Nope tried it, the fit has nothing on the SL model. Maybe the S model, but not the SL. I have the SL sedan and if I out ran a mustang, a Honda Fit can't touch it.

  • how in the hell could a Nissan Versa with 122hp outrun a 300+ hp beast ?

  • Modifications, duh?

  • Outrun.... hate to burst your bubble, but most lambos go 180+ Now unless you put $50000+ into your little 4-6cylinder, then you're not gonna go that fast haha.

  • well what kinda of mods do you have on your versa ?

  • I never said my Versa had 122 hp, ooops, your bad for not paying attention. Not every Versa is the same.

  • that's why i asked you what mods you have ..

  • I switched out the intake, and put in a bigger fujita, and put a new exhaust system and bigger custom headers. Plus I lightened the car, so I increased the airflow and lightened it. Instead of 122hp it has 205 hp.

  • and considering the weight of the car too , you actually would beat a lambo

  • Well, to get to that level I would have to add turbos and such. Seeing that my car is an eco-car that wouldn't be worth spending that kind of money. I don't mind spending it on my Honda though, but not the versa. I can keep up with fast luxury cars and I happy with that.

  • Plus I will admit the CVT does take a while but once your going its over.

  • thats good tho bro , i could just imagine what it looks like now ..

  • BAHAHAHAHAHAHA you had an 80hp jump from an ebay intake headers and exhaust?? lol how high are you? theres no way of taking on an additional 80hp to the crank let alone the wheels you dumb ass.. and with simple bolt ons max your going to get is an extra 20hp. Ive had a 09' spec-v and the qr25de stock puts 200 at the crank. if you could up that with $500 of bolt on cheap ass parts dont you think that everyone would pick up a versa for $8K cheaper and mod it with some quick handeling mods as well.

  • you are a moron if u think u can get 205 hp out of a nissan versa without forced induction

  • This goes for you to. Okay, to all you fucking illiterate Neanderthals I was being polite when I said DON"T RESPOND. I said that because I am tired of this overrated discussion. Learn to fucking read before speaking to me because if you people haven't noticed I don't need your responses. I don't give a horses ass what you think about my car or any other vehicle for that matter. If you continue to bother me about this ridiculous rant I will have your asses reported. You have been warned!!!!!

  • @kmac4500 dude i checked your channel your a great vocalist but you dont know shit about cars bro everybody has something they can claim they know about so dont take this as an insult cars just isnt yours.

  • @matt37075 Actually all do respect I've taken classes, and if I don't know something I ask question. Just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't give you the right to tell me I don't know shit about something. I have had great times with my Nissan and despite what people say, I have done to it what most haven't and people can't see it (literally, it was totaled in an accident by someone t-boning me). Everybody has different ways they do things so lets agree to disagree. Thanks!!

  • @kmac4500 ok im just saying that alot of the things you said didnt make sense thats all and besides nothing you just said really had anything to do with what im talking about but ok.

  • @matt37075 You said I don't know shit about cars, right? So apparently you were referring to the comments about my Nissan. Then you just now said that what I was saying didn't make sense to you. I answered that by saying; because you don't understand don't tell me I don't know shit about anything because I do things different. All you had to do was ask instead judging and saying what you said. I never went in full detail about that car and don't care to, seeing I don't have it anymore. Get it?

  • @kmac4500 yea i fucking get it but why is it so hard to admit theres some stuff you dont know you said you kept it n/a for better fuel consumption thats what i thought was dumb because the way a turbo works actually can give you better gas milage and as for the hybrid or whatever thats no excuse because ford has turbo hybrid cars it works just fine and they make alot of power so im just saying that to me the "i dont turbo for gas milage" made me think hmmmm WRONG

  • @matt37075 Did I not say If I don't understand something that I ask questions. I just described what I had already did to the car. Now as for turbos giving better gas mileage, yeah it would if the engine is designed to have a turbo put on it or if it already has one. I have heard that remote turbos increase gas mileage but they don't make those for Nissan Versas. Other wise no it doesn't, also superchargers do for small cars. But they don't make those for Versas either. But it doesn't matter.

  • @kmac4500 remote mount turbo kits are a rip off. since you dont have to deal with a cramped engine bay, if you know which side of a screwdriver you twist, you can put one together yourself.

  • @pepene93 Oh Haha, your real funny, fuck you and everything you stand for. DO NOT respond about this vehicle again, what of "I DO NOT OWN THIS CAR ANYMORE" don't you get. Stop talking about it, I don't care what you people think. It has been well over a year and people keep saying the same stupid shit. DROP the subject already.

  • @kmac4500 hahaha, wow. youre so mature.

  • @cujoluv all you need is a big wing and lots of stickers! duuh!

  • @cujoluv i think u could.....it would cost sum serious money thoo.....they have all motor civics that run 10's....so why not?

  • the only way your even going to get close to that much of a gain is via forced induction you moron... have a great day :)

  • oh btw dont tell me i wouldnt know im currently DD ing and 09' versa 6spd

  • Ok, I'm going to end this now cause I'm not one for drama. Second, you don't know where I get my parts from. Stop being a know it all, and except the fact that when it comes to cars there is nothing impossible to what can be done. Versas are great cars and there easy to work on, get over it. Please don't respond!!!

  • if you beat a mustang with your p.o.s rice burner, you raced a grandma shifting dude with a v6 that doesn't know how to drive for shit.

    that or a teenager that doesn't know the difference of a brake and a gas pedal.

  • Oh and let me guess, your car is the fastest in the world I bet and nobody can touch you. Not all mustangs are built for speed, if you were reading I never said what kind of Mustang it was, I just said Mustang. Everybody's hating on the Versa because they think its slow. Well its not!!!

  • sorry but versas are slow

  • You are an idiot. You couldn't even outrun a six cylinder Mustang.

    Check any magazine that has published, PROVEN numbers, the Fit with a manual is faster.

  • very very slow a stock smart car would beat that

  • slow

  • I know that the CVT helps in torque and MPG but it sounds like a lawnmower

  • was that 1 gear or was it more?

    coz it sounded like only 1 gear

  • Unlimited amounts of gears. CVT Tranny.

  • i kinda like the cvt

  • 12sec...

  • lauch the versa and time will improve by 1 sec! watch my videos

  • Let's see. He started at 0:03 and ended at 0:14. 11 seconds.

  • actually he starts at 4 and ends at 14. should b around 9 secs though. maybe 9.5 with a launch

  • These cars should not be raced, but it is nice to know if the thing can get out of it's own way or not. Good vids.

  • mmm CVT

  • grose, I have the 6 speed, and its much, much faster

  • prove it!

  • my dad has this car and its so sloww

  • wat car do u drive?

  • nvm. my dads just driving it slow. 1 day he was late to his work and he drove the car really fast and i was really amazed.

  • lol

  • shitty automatic gearbox

  • Actually its one of the better CVTs Ive seen.

  • 10 secs. i did better. faster than fit with 11 seconds

  • I valet park in las vegas, and i've driven many toyota yarii and versas, and i would hands down take the yaris any day over a nissan. the yaris is much more fun, and doesn't feel cheap compaired to the versa; plus you do have toyota's known reliabliity. which your nissan could only dream of. I've never driven a 70k+ mile nissan that didn't feel like a peace of shit clunker. But I have driven plenty of toyotas with 120k+ and they drive like new. and they didn't need to dump money into it

  • What a wheezer! I'd never buy a Nissan...

  • my yaris would kill this thing. lol

  • until you crash in a versa... your yaris will get destroyed

  • I've seen many crashes of Yarii, and people came out unhurt.

  • Using my Ipod stop watch, I got 10.1 seconds

  • That engine sounds awful, get a Toyota Yaris....

  • have you seen what a CAMRY does 2 a YARIS IN A FRONTAL CRASH!! I RATHER WOULD BE IN A PRIUS OR VERSA!!!

  • It's like saying, "Have you seen what a semi truck does to a Versa!!!?", same thing will happen. Anyone should know that a car with more mass/big will fair better in a crash against a smaller vehicle.

  • lol Yaris crap car ... the Versa is better

  • Watch the check engine light come on. That car sounds awful! Yaris is a much better looking ride, too...

  • Toyota sucks...

  • hmmm, last time I checked, Toyota was doing much better than Nissan...

  • last time I checked, Toyota lost more than Nissan in sales(%)

  • That's great, but who has a reputation of being more reliable?

  • Who has the reputation of being boring as f*ck to drive ? clearly toyota

  • hmmm, I don't see too many Versas being auto-x'ed, yet many Yarii are because they're FUN to drive.

  • no they are not... like every single toyota, they are boring car to drive and they also look boring ... well it's not surprising it's a Toyota lol

  • i hate to burst your bubble but thats not the check engine light.Thats the O/D Over Drive Light!!its ORANGE!!

  • Care to explain your justification? Or is this just some ignorant post?

  • nevermind you're american ...

  • so slow what a pile, my 1990 corrola would give this a run

  • well actually my versa does way better and it is stock now too...bet i could give you a run for your money

  • probably lol i was just making a point my corrola sux, but my 09 rt challenger and srt 10 ram would kill this

  • LOL. My C63 AMG would kill both of your cars

  • funny cause ur right but those arent my fastest cars...im rebuilding a 72 cuda with 600 horsepower so my cuda would kill ur little benzo(ill be making a video when its done, its in the body shop right now)

  • The C63 isnt my fastest car either, I'm getting an MTM RS6 soon ... it's on a boat at this time.

  • thats nice... so obviously we have different tastes in cars,
