I spent some time in Iceland once upon a time. 3 other guys and I bought this, brand new for the equivalent of $2800 Total POS, but got us around for a year. Oh and sold it to the next group of folks for $2500 or so...
I’ve never had a problem with either car, but that’s good to know. Mine has 60,000 miles and my son’s car has 83,000. Thanks ***
I have a Ford CVPI from 2011. You US folks find hundreds of them at your local car cemetery, but here in Germany, that's indeed something special.
Used to drive a 2004 Ford Ranger but had to give it up because the MPG was terrible and I was working a little ways off from where I live. I now drive a 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid. Now that I'm working closer to home, I might buy the new Bronco depending on what it looks like.
My son’s cvt JATCO trans went at 80k plus. So it’s about that time. His Nissan also had the extended warranty on the trans. I’d check to see if your’s does, as it may be hardly worth replacing otherwise.
Because we’ve needed 4 wd where we live, except for two Subarus and one Sidekick, we’ve been buying Toyota Trucks and SUVs for the past 25 years. Toyota’s are boooooring as heck and always lag behind with features and technology. But, they are freakin bullet proof and hold their value. But, nothing changes. Most underwhelming cars and Trucks we’ve ever had.
Define a truck . The idea is blurred with the advent of frame based SUVs and and frameless PU trucks.
I agree, technically. You’re right. I put a low cab height cap on my truck. Is it a wagon now ? But seriously, one neighbor had a Ridgeline which carries more weight then my Taco and the other bought a frameless unibody Jeep GC which tows 10k lbs and has more TWuC then some full size. My 4 runner with flip down seats carried as much as my PU does with a cap. All I’m saying is, I’m confused. . There was the whimsy Subaru Brat with removable seats and the VW pick up. None caught on. So it’s imo, I’ll add, they have ladder frames underneath, that rust more easily..
No problems so far. We’re up to 93,000 on the 2013 Sentra and 63,000 on the 2015. We just have to do the scheduled maintenance and I bet they easily go to 250,000 or 300,000. One of my co-workers has 600,000 on her POS Chevrolet, and Nissans are built better than any American car.
I have 16 Nissan Frontier as my daily driver. And a 15 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton, 10 Camaro SS that I am planning to super charger bought it new have 16k miles on it, and a 10 Harly Street Glide. Wife has a 18 Jeep Cherokee.
My brother and I bought a ford dually for the farm in 2010. Worst pickup I ever owned. Always had check engine lights going of and blew a valve out at 65000 miles.
The belts on the CVTs, unlike gear auto trans, often fail without warning. Fine one day, a piece of junk the next. I hope you’re right about going 300k . But the history of these transmissions is not in your Favor. The GMs you refer to are not CVTs and some v6 GMs are very reliable. Nissan now has 43% ownership by Renault the French auto company noted for their Yugo alliance. They aren’t who you think they are. But, as long as they run, fine. I would run them till they fail. They aren’t worth much trade in otherwise and certainly not worth fixing imo.
The Ultimate Driving Machine: Fell in love with the BMW and the Porsche (as far back as the 92 and have had a long love affair with them.
I will vouch for your numbers being accurate. I was getting around 55 mpg with my lead foot in my wife's Cmax Hybrid. It had far better performance than the Toyota Prius because Ford put in a 2 liter gas engine for a combined output of 188 hp. With the batteries placed low it also handled the corners nicely with those low resistance Michelins.
