Owner reviews for CVT transmission

i had a 2015 Nissan Altima with the CVT transmission... the car never had a mechanical issue

My Nissan Pathfinder has a CVT transmission. According to the internet, it won't last 80k miles, at best. I've got 197k miles on it, plus I tow, and it's still going strong!

Mine's older, a 2013 Hybrid, but a month into it there's no comparison. Just put your foot down, and elegantly drive away from anything that bothers you, and not even spill your tea. It's ... civilized.

Ecvt is amazing. I'm a mechanical engineer and bought a 25 Camry hybrid AWD. I actually bought it before I knew how the Ecvt worked and after digging into it I was blown away. Digging into it from an engineering perspective without going into complete detail, this is the most elegant and robust way I've ever seen to do power delivery on a vehicle. And it does so in a way that actually makes the system less complex removing the need for a dedicated starter and alternator for the internal combustion engine. Even braking is done with Regen braking recovering energy and transitioning flawlessly to the mechanical brakes when needed meaning you will change brake pads much less often also. I love the way mine feels and reacts to my inputs, 10/10 would absolutely buy again.

I got 25 Camry and love ECVT! Better then Auto!

The CVT in it isn’t the best transmission but I’ve always smiled while driving it around curvy road.

I had a 2016 sentra, cvt went out 3 times within the warranty.

Nissan put some truly awful Jatco CVTs in their cars, and it's given CVTs a bad name.

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.

You've got a cvt trans and they're only rated for like 150k. your cvt is running on it last legs.
