The CVT is just a snowmobile transmission, I had a Nissan Juke with one and it
drove just like a snowmobile. I looked it up, belt drive...
I suspect the belt would be the limiting factor and a lot of stop and go
driving would burn the belt. *Should* be easy to replace, probably isn't though.

I think the Nissan's have a CVT, which has a very poor history of quality
problems. Avoid the CVT if you can.
