Hi I am a confirmed auto driver. I have seen one of these advertised and am mildly interested. Apparently it has a cvt gearbox are there any problems known with these? I would also be interested in the road tax as after 2006 the higher rate comes in but I was told this was lower on this model. Is this right? Hope some one owns one of these as they are pretty rare apparently.
I have tried a diesel auto but it did not suit my life style The DPF came on 3 times in the short while I owned it and the accelerator had a definite hesitation from start if you know what I mean.
Thanks for any replies.

Well I find the diesel auto is just fine for me, but I must admit the DPF can be troublesome at times, particularly if you do a lot of short distance journeys. Throttle response on mine is instant, I don't get any hesitation. I would imagine the petrol models would be much more thirsty than a diesel. I'm not sure about the CVT box, but I'd be interested to find out. I'm also a total convert to automatics, I've had nothing else for years, but I've never driven one with a CVT gearbox.

Interesting video about Nissan CVT. Not for me thanks...

Yes same here ,haven't hear anything good about the CVT gearbox .

And I'm (just) old enough to remember the Daf 33 variomatic!

Hi All Thanks for your replies. That bloke on the video was very competent. Lost me! Seems the cvt is ok if not put under too much load and serviced regularly. So buying second hand needs a good service history and not used for towing! Not too worried about fuel consumption as I do not do the miles I used to, and even less in the lockdown.
