So...

At work we have a Versa Hatchback, with the conventional automatic (non CVT), as a company car. We use it for UPS runs and picking up customer cars, and I occasionally drive it. I’ve driven it quite a bit lately. I rather enjoy it - for a cheap shitty econobox - and sometimes I treat it like the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Due to the lack of a market for hatchbacks here in the states, and the fact that we don’t really like stick shifts around here, these cars are getting damned cheap. Like sub-100,000 mile cars for under $5k. With the 1.8 and 6-speed manual.

I need a “go to the dump, and pick stuff up, and go to work,” beater while my wife drives the nice car. Plus I could maybe learn to drive better by taking it Autocrossing or Rallycrossing.

I mean. It’s not the worst idea.

Sometimes it is more fun to drive a slow car fast. I sometimes like driving our rouge more than our z4, probably because of this though.

I’ve always liked these on steelies, don’t know why.

Steelies with chrome lug nuts would be pretty cool. Especially if there’s a set of 15" trim rings to go along with them...

You have a cheap, reliable car with an overseas aftermarket you can abuse. You can easily find some kind of coilovers for it.

Also, there is the whole driving the small car to its limits thing on city streets.

I knew a guy with one. He loved it. It got totaled after being hit hard from someone on their phone.

My wife has that same car and she’s had it from new. It now has 90k miles and is holding up shockingly well. She loves it, but when it eventually comes time to replace it, I might have to keep it around for rallycross fun times.
