Well, we have 2 Tiida/Versas.
One has 73000 on it, the other nearly 238000.
Both CVT - RE0F08A and REOFO8B.
Service them and they're fine. $550 to have it done in a shop, or a few hours being pissed off with all the bolts at home.
$250, with fluid.
$3800 for a replacement, minimum.
Metal to metal contact. Have you ever looked at an engine?
All metal, bro.
Plus, I've worked on way more horrible cars, access-wise.
Peugeot, Chrysler, Honda, Mitsubishi.
CVTs are fine, as long as you look after them.
Sadly, we live in a world where people expect things to work forever, without servicing them.
I agree, the older Nissans, like the 910 Bluebirds had indestructible transmissions.
FFS, if you don't clean out the tray at the bottom of your toaster, it'll crap out.
What's your ideal car and transmission?
