I had a 2016 Rouge, which my son now has. It’s the same set up, and we never had a problem with it in 106,000 miles. I’m not sure how many he has put in it, but still no problems. I changed the fluid at 103,000 miles and planned in doing it again at 150,000
The little crossover got as good mileage as my Camry 4 cylinder. The Altima I had before it would get 27mpg in town and 34-37 on the highway. The only reason I don’t have an Altima now is I couldn’t find a nice one when I was shopping for a car.
I had rented an Altima and really was disappointed with the fake shifting. My Rouge had it too, but it’s more annoying than the sound of it running like a snowmobile in getting to speed (CVT WOT)
The CVT is good with proper maintenance.
