Conventional oil hard to find?

I like the CVT on my Subaru Crosstrek. Even with AWD I am getting 30 mpg average. I'm not a speed demon that needs jackrabbit starts.

I think they have been on the market long enough to get the kinks out and hear Nissan is worse brand.

Have yet to have emergency braking and no desire to check and see if it works. I'm always getting bells and whistles when it does not know a break in the road lines are from a side street entry and not my mistake. It also almost steers itself with that function.

Turbos have become very reliable and common. At the EPA mandates become more stringent you will see more of them. I've had two so far, trouble free.

Upon what do you base that assertion? How many, and what model, Nissan vehicles have you driven?

My experience with Nissan (and Datsun) has been 100% positive with no significant issues on three vehicles ('81 810 Maxima, '98 I30 and '12 M37).

You can look it up yourself. I only had one way pre-2000 and it ran like a top. I got rid of it when it needed joint boots and cost of repair approached book value.

In other words, you can't support your assertion. Noted.

The book value is irrelevant to that choice.

Boy, I'd think long and hard before making a $4,000 repair on a car with

The '21 Accord 1.5L turbo has a CVT; don't know about the 2.0L.

My wife's Subaru has a CVT. You sort of get used to it buzzing on acceleration (which is surprisingly strong) but I really miss the kick-down.

No crap? So that's what you think of them? ;-)

That car was bought new and he was still making payments on it. I forgot how old it was,but probably around 5 years old. Had it been me, I may have told them to come and get that piece of junk and just let it go back. He was probably worried about it messing up his credit. I am now in the shape that credit score does not matter to me, but it is over

I had a Toyota that the recommended timing belt change was 60,000 if I remember correctly. I was getting ready to trade for a new one and had about 80,000 miles on the belt. One dealer was going to allow me $ 500 for the trade in value (car had over 190,000 miles on it). Thought the cost of the belt replacement was around that , so decided to drive it and chance the belt holding when I had about 70,000 miles on it. I did keep the car and sold it to someone where I worked that could replace the belt himself. I was honest and told him the belt was about 20,000 over due and to replace it the first thing. I let him have it for the $ 500 the dealer said he would allow me.

I did a quick google and got lots of hits about Nissan's decline. I don't care what you think, if you are capable of thinking.

Book at the time was $1,000. If you start doing thousand dollar repairs and it gets wrecked you will only get book value. It had nearly been wrecked the year before when a drunken women hit it and 3 other cars parked in shopping center parking lot. Also car was over 10 years old and would have other stuff needing fixing.

Still makes no sense to piss lots more against the wall on a replacement.

Only if it?s a steaming turd with wheels in the first place.

AS I understand it, it's like a '59 Buick Electra with a Dynaflow tranny. Engine rpm has little to do with what's happening outside.

Mine has a vestigial road line deal. It sort of shows deviations but doesn't try to correct them. The crash avoidance just chirps but doesn't apply the brakes. At least now if I hold the button down for a few seconds the traction control turns off. Toyota finally figured out it's impossible to rock a car with it engaged. You can also turn off the stability control. Driving on dirt roads sometimes confuses it. With the old car I've had it nearly stop me completely if I was drifting a little.

I think it was Paul of Peter, Paul, and Mary that would do a comedy thing about Mr. Businessman who just had his bands tightened drag racing a kid. It just isn't the same without the vocal sound effects of the loose bands but I can't find a clip.

I was surprised when I looked at a consumer reports article about the worst cars and some Nissan was the worst. I remember when Detroit was chasing them too.

Detroit was chasing everybody... I will leave it for discussion as to whether the lesson was learned.
