My Nissan CVT story: In 2007 I bought a brand new Altima 3.5 SL with every option available. Within two weeks of taking delivery it was recalled for CVT issues. I traded it in a year later, took a huge loss on it and vowed to never have another Nissan with a CVT again. Very expensive lesson learned.

So that transmissions sucks...is that right?

The passenger seat actually folds forward into a table/work station, that’s why the back is hard plastic compared the drivers seat. Kind of interesting

I used to drive a 2017 at work. Drove it from new to over 100,000 miles in just 3 1/2 years and there were no major issues with it. Mine had keyless entry and the touch screen with backup camera and Bluetooth. I thought it held up well.

Did it have that CVT transmission?

@wimmj6952 Жыл бұрын

Had one of these as a work car for a bit, for long travel service calls it was rough. Barely got up to highway speed and if u let off the throttle at all it dropped like 20mph and took miles to get back up to speed again, barely got over 20mpg and with a tiny tank i was always filling it up. The tiny wheels and slab sides it was like piloting a small sailboat on the open ocean. The thing always smelled or coolant and no matter what it would kill the battery if it sat for more than a few days. The hood didnt fit from the factory and rubbed the paint off the corners the first time it opened. Did have great ac at least. Glad my work gave it to someone else and swapped me into a gen2 xb, much better in many ways. Whew, rant over.

the best alternative i have ever seen is the VW Caddy 1.9 TDI (or 2.0 TDI 140/150hp), my dad used one back in the day to deliver coffee and he did over 400.000km in a bit over 2 years, and i joined him for quite a few trips, not only the engine is bulletproof but also sips on diesel, the van is super comfortable and well built and VW updated them along the years and allowed for some nice luxuries in them too, as for commercial versions, there were 5 and 6 door configurations, short and long wheel base and 1 or 2 row of seats, my dad drove a 2005 model and even today he says he is going to buy one and use it as a family car due to it's practicality and comfort

@fabyrbl8177 Жыл бұрын

honestly i would say that any VW 1.9 is super reliable and i can not recommend them enough, also if the caddy for some reason it's not big enough for you, there is the Transporter/caravelle/california

In Europe they mostly had a 1.5 diesel with 90hp (200Nm / 148 ftlbf of torque) or 110hp (240Nm / 177 ftlbf) and 5 or 6 speed manual gearbox, still though a modern work horse for a lot of businesses. There are other small differences like the front grille, rear doors, steering wheel, gauges and lower part of the dash

like 8-10 years ago a man driving cargo van crashed into my mom's suv, meanwhile de suv was in the mechanic shop, the man who owned the van lent her another one he had. We were surprised that the cargo van was suuuper comfy, was a manual and the gears just worked as u wanted. when i drove it i never thought "I'm fighting with this car" or "is too big i can't see where the car ends" or is too small or anything, It was a simple vehicle that wanted to do its job :) and it was great for that

My ex-fiance had bought her Versa brand new in August 2015 when she crashed her 2005 Chevy Trailblazer due to a blown tire while on the freeway thankfully no injuries and was able to walk away. I was trying to tell her to go look at Toyota dealership down the road and maybe check out a Scion XB or a Corolla but she settled on the Versa. It met her needs , it drove pretty well, and everything seemed fine until around 30-35k miles the CVT failed. Nissan replaced it under warranty and as of recently her Versa is still rolling along with that 2nd CVT at 104k miles. Even though we broke up back in 2021 we're still friends and I'm glad to see her car is still hanging in there despite Nissan's reputation with those Jatco CVTs.

I’m sorry but you gotta give props to saabkyle04 and his car reviews for diversity he doesn’t really do a lot of car reviews as much as he used to but it seems like every-time I look for a car he’s looking at a brand new one on the release year I feel like he’s one of the OG’s of car reviews.

I bought a 2016 Nissan NV200 (SV model with power locks, plus Cruise Control, which I’m not sure I’ve ever used) in 2017. It had 2400 miles on it, and I paid $8000, which seemed like a good deal at the time and a great deal now. It has 106K miles as of today with no problems. I’m fastidious about following the Maintenance Schedule but other than that, nothing fancy. I’ve used it, more or less “stock”, for Stealth Camping regularly since I got it. On hot nights, I run the AC with it parked (with multiple CO detectors). This does mean that I’m sending the AC Compressor to an earlier grave than it otherwise would have, but I did the math and decided I’d rather do that than cut a hole in the roof I bought it because I was looking for a true, stripped-down “utility vehicle” without a bunch of “features” I’d never want or use. It has fit the bill handsomely.

8:25 Recently bought a low mileage 2014 sv to be used for a camper conversion. Did a lot of research on the cvt before looking and most long terms owners say the success is changing the fluid frequently and not driving them hard. I like it a lot so far and its easy to maintain. Many folks report getting over 200k on this transmission if cared for.

Had mine new for 70 now. Just replaced the original tires with auto ones. Got rid of most of the road noise. Had to go to an independent tire dealer. Wallmart, Costco will only replace with manufacturer recommended weight rated tires. So far i love the thing. No other problems other than no respect on the road.

I drive one of these for a living and have also driven the older Transit Connect and ProMaster City as part of the company fleet. Imagine someone actually being excited to drive an NV200. It cruises decently on the highway, pulls tight U-turns and really does nothing else well. We've had several NV200s ranging from base to SVs, black or painted bumpers, with and without cruise or power locks, backup cameras, rear windows and mirror. They all struggle on hills and eat up their weird-sized tires about every 20k miles. Did you bash your knee on the corner of the dashboard and your elbow on the window sill? The stopper on the right rear cargo door is another weak spot that likes to break, allowing the door to swing open a full 180 degrees.

Great review of that Nissan van, Zack! In Indonesia, the passenger version of the van, called the Evalia was sold from 2012 until 2016. Also, the van is still sold in Japan in both cargo and passenger configurations, dubbed the NV200 Vanette over there.

in Indonesia there is one car review channel that literally has a lot of cars reviewed especially rare specs called B Channel , dude literally review any cars even commercial trucks and unheard of EV cars from China , to be honest I was following B channel for awhile since there aren't many diverse car review channel other than that but KZbin algorithm suggested your channel. nowadays I watch both since its interesting too the difference in cars between Asia market and North America market

My family has a 2013 Altima with 172k miles on the original CVT. Given that some blew before 30k, I have no idea how it's still on the original transmission. It whines and vibrates but somehow it's holding together. I'll never have a Nissan-Jatco CVT if I can avoid it. Whatever CVT Toyota and Subaru use is pretty decent. There are two or three videos from a guy in San Fransisco who converted one of these to a stealth camper. It's small but it's possible to make really good use of space in these. It's a shame these mini commercial vans are all being discontinued. I see these and the Big 3's versions everywhere.

Someone else in the comments said saabkyle04. I haven't watched him since the early days of KZbin but he'd review anything and everything that came across his lot. He didn't try to play a character or give a lecture, he just reviewed the car. RCR has gotten too theater/English-major and his characters are dumb, not to mention his annoying "my whole personality is gay".

As far as i can tell the OG car youtube Reviewer is Saabkyle04 , He reviewed anything , When He become popular circa 2011/2012 Some other youtubers copied his style and were called Saabkyle copycats like MegaRetr and Cameron Car reviews and Some other ones i dont recall , Then Came RCR with his niche Style and After that Doug Demuro with his Quirks and Features of course Official Car Programs like Motortrend/Car&Driver , is kind of Diffrent because there not really youtube creator content but Big Companies exploiting it popularity
