vs
CVT transmission OEM Subaru or OEM Nissan
Reviews
after driving one for a few years I don’t want to go back to standard transmission.
Pros: prefer over standard
All I know is my CVT transmission nissan altima lasted a quarter of a million miles, I bought it at 165k miles never did anything to it besides brakes & rotors, oil changes, 1 alternator, 1 radiator & hella Tires tbh.
Pros: CVT lasted long
Vehicle:
Nissan Altima
Mileage: 402336 km
I have a 2015 Infiniti QX60 with 100k miles and it's already on its second CVT transmission and second transfer case. Both replaced under warranty at about 70k.
Pros: replaced under warranty
Cons: crappy drivetrain, expensive to fix
Vehicle:
Infiniti QX60
Mileage: 100000 km
Nissan makes the WORST CVT transmissions EVER. Every Nissan I've ever seen, especially the Altima's, eventually do this crap.
Cons: worst quality, unreliable
Vehicle:
Nissan Altima
I love the wrx but hate the cvt!
Cons: disliked performance
Vehicle:
Subaru
I had a 2016 sentra, cvt went out 3 times within the warranty.
Cons: failed multiple times, unreliable
Vehicle:
Nissan Sentra
Nissan in the US keeps selling crap year after year and people buy them. Those CVT's go kaboom without a doubt sooner or later. Here where I am located (Western Europe), Nissan was smart and they sell reliable cars using Renault drivetrains. They sell well.
Cons: unreliable, fail often
Vehicle:
Nissan Altima
You've got a cvt trans and they're only rated for like 150k. your cvt is running on it last legs.
Cons: limited lifespan, running on last legs
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 135000 km
all nissan cvt tranny cars should be gotten rid of fast. 135000 miles is a record for that expensive unit.
Cons: unreliable, expensive unit
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 135000 km
The CVT Transmission is complete utter POS in Nissans.
Cons: complete utter POS
Vehicle:
Nissan
