      This is not the base trim. The "S" trim is the base model. Which has steel wheel hub caps, single zone climate. This is the mid-level "SV" trim. "SR" is the top trim.

      CVT is still weak. If you maintain cvt with every 25k miles or 30k kms rather than factory recommended protocol, then it should be okay. Still, CVT is very weak and plague with problems as today and not durable at all.

    JOE ~ I had a Datsun pick up truck & way later on in life a Nissan Frontier King Cab, great quality as far as change oil tires brakes & drive it for one hundred years, but man are they slow. 149 HP w/ a CVT my riding lawn mower could probably smoke it lol. nothing at all against Nissan, I just feel they miss the chance so often to rise above others in the same class & say it's on like Donkey Kong, but they never do, it's like they're happy always hovering around 3rd or 4th place in the ASIAN built car market. too bad because they're capable of catching Honda & Toyota in just a couple of generations, I doubt at this point anyone will be able to catch Hyundai/ KIA - they're long term big picture auto makers with a brilliant plan for success. just my thoughts & opinions oh GREAT ONE - your bro tony

    Actually the base model is the S trim, which doesn't come with an 8 inch infotainment system, remote start or SiriusXM. SV is the mid level. And I bet the SV will be the volume seller out of the S and SR.

    I hear so much negative comments about the CVT . Back in 2012 I drove a rental Altima with a CVT. Not my first choice but the ride was very smooth . I floared it once and never again because I thought I would blow up the engine . Apparently the simulated shifts make the CVT more attractive. When it comes to reliability I don't know. Is it really that bad ? Hands off or hands on ?
