Seems like a lot of newer vehicles are being produced with CVT's. Any experiences good or bad with them ? I guess it's not much different than some of the 8,9 or whatever speed autos they're also pushing.
Looking for a small to midsize SUV or Crossover. Don't need 3rd row, etc.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

We bought a used 2017 Jeep cherokee with one. It started feeling a little less than sold and it got traded in. It might be how they feel but I didn’t want to find out and it was underpowered and too small.

my wife has a maxima with a cvt transmission. At 117,000 miles it still performs as well as it did when new.

I see lots of stories of failing Nissan cvt (mostly in the Rogue), that aren't repairable only replaceable. supposedly Nissan "fixed" theirs in '17, so if looking at Nissan cvt vehicles, suggest '17 or newer.

I drove an Altima with a cvt. At 250k miles it was still going strong. Really liked that car. YMMV.

x2. The GF wants a new car. Just about all Nissans come with the CVT. See too many complaints online about them. Im sending her a different route. Maybe Toyota or honda this time.

My son has an Altima with one. 140k miles and runs like a champ. It does have a bit of a whine to it, but has no issues. I think that is the sound those CVT's make.

Toyota has done well with them in the Rav4. Nissan has had a nightmare with them according to things I've read as well as hearing it straight from a Nissan Master Technician.

I think they've gotten them figured out now. Like anything, early models tend to have issues. I had a little Nissan Versa with the CVT as a gas saver daily driver and it did fine. It felt like a cheap car because it was, but the CVT never gave me any problems
