Nissan Juke.

Either 5speed manual or CVT. It’s a completely reliable combination if it’s manual, but you either like the appearance of the car or can’t even look at it, to each their own.
A year ago I picked up this Nissan
client, and a year later I got enough of the CVT. The turnkey repair price is 97,000 rubles, the officials do it for 130,000 rubles. Two years ago, maybe three, we bought a Nissan Murano. Its variator is also full. Three years ago we bought a Nissan Teana with a mileage of 30,000 km, its CVT also died. What am I talking about? They are all dying, I warn everyone about this. It's a question of time. Those who have skated for 2 years without problems believe that the box does not break and is reliable, but in reality this is not the case. If you want to buy a Nissan with a CVT, be prepared that you need to have at least 100,000 rubles in reserve so as not to be left without a car. And this is much more than what needs to be left for the repair of a robotic gearbox.
There were cases when we drove 200,000 km
customers on a variator, and did not repair it. But this is an exception. And when buying, it is simply impossible to predict how long it will skate.
PS: to avoid any confusion, I’ll say that Toyota has a CVT from another company, I’m talking specifically about Nissan.
