You've clearly never tried to put a Versa in Neutral. It nearly always involves a trip through Neutral and into Reverse due to the lever being so stiff. Putting it back into Drive again often involves a detour into '3', which can't be good.
Certainly wouldn't be a good idea to try all this at the John Reid Road bus gate.
