Had a new Nissan Qashqai constantly overheating trans... Whined like a Trump supporter when I got hot and had a very short life. Company had a fleet and nothing but trouble and bloody light bulbs and high gas usage too. Always in for service due to overheating and such

Cons: overheating, short life, whined
Vehicle: Nissan Qashqai

I have a 2014 Nissan Pulsar turbo with a CVT and I have serviced the CVT twice while I have had it and I have had no issues. If fact the guy who serviced it at Lincoln Automatics said my CVT is a good one as it is the bigger model. He said it is the smaller CVTs that are used in Swifts, Tildas and other smaller cars that are the problem. My car has done 194000 kms with no issues at all.

Pros: no issues, good model
Vehicle: Nissan Pulsar
Mileage: 194000 km

Don\u2019t go with the Nissan Versa I beg of you! I bought a nearly brand new Nissan Versa. To be exact a 2017 Nissan Versa certified preowned with only 7,000 miles on it in 2018. And it did not make it to 100,000 miles. And I religiously took care of this car and got oil changes with the best oil regularly! My experience owning the 2017 Nissan Versa nearly brand new over the years: When I hit 30k miles (warranty goes out at 30k miles): recall on a part - I would take the key out of the ignition and the car would still run as if the key were in the ignition effectively killing 3 brand new batteries. I had to be jumped off multiple times. The problem got sorted out and I still have the part from when it messed up. I had to manually learn how to disconnect the battery so it would stop killing my batteries until the problem was fixed which was annoying at only 30k miles. 40k miles I\u2019m at a drive through and my car starts smoking! The actuator broke/or had to be replaced. 50k miles - sensor issues and gear shift got stuck so had to have those things fixed 70k miles - needed an engine replacement so I found a used engine with 17,000 miles to replace it with 75k miles - ac and defrost went out had to be fixed. 80k miles - CVT transmission went out and started jerking. So I looked for a used cvt transmission to put in and when I spent thousands to replace it with a newer one it was worse than the one I already had and I was stalling out in the road. So I took it back and got a different one. That entire process took from March of this year until September. Also had to pay for transmission fluid & transmission lines were leaking and had to be replaced. 80,050 miles - battery died so had to get a new one. Alignment was needed. 2 brand new front tires were needed. And the VTT solenoid on the engine needed fixing/replacing and I got all this done at the Nissan dealership and it cost $2,000. My AC was running hot after not too long of having it fixed and I spent less than $100 on an AC gauge and Freon at Oreillys and put Freon in. Please RUN away from this car.

Cons: CVT transmission failed
Vehicle: Nissan
Mileage: 80000 km
