Thule does not exclude the 2007 Nissan Versa hatchback with a spoiler so you can use the Passage 2 # TH910XT. However, if the rack puts too much stress on that spoiler then you will need to go with a different rack; the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top, # HRF2.

The Over-the-Top rack has an extra structure that moves the upper straps up and over the rear spoiler so no tension is put on that spoiler. I have included a link to a video that shows how it works.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all. I have included a link to a video showing how the adapter works.
