I learned to drive on an old CVT. It doesn’t sound good, but I like the smoothness of it during “hard” acceleration. Feels like a plane taking off, no jerkiness. The new ones have simulated shifts, i wish I could disable it and make it like this guy’s
Learn how to work the car and there isn't a delay but I know what you mean but it's definitely not all the time. It's at certain speeds below 45mph usually but I know how to make the trans respond instantly if I need it 2
I have the same car and I agree. The car is beautiful looking. I would not want a different car looks wise but performance wise it sucks. Once you’re going fast it’s fine but from the jump, it’s brutal.
@@blacjackdaniels200 Reliability issues. Also CVT suck so much you will never get 100% potential engine power to the ground compare to regular transmission in certain occasions. Nissan is worst. I am a mechanic so I have seen them all.
@@oceanscriminal3109 yeah I know nothing about it. I was literally just asking. Because I’m a big fan of the Altima. it’s a beautiful car. I leased one on a short term deal and I turned the car in instead of buying it because I heard so many bad things about this transmission. I really love the style of that car. For me I don’t think there’s a better looking normal car out there, obviously when I say normal, I mean somewhat affordable. I’m not comparing it to a Corvette or anything. But I really love the Altima’s looks but it had zero power. I mean I know they have a turbo one, but I just had the regular version. It had 180 hp. Once you are at high speed, it’s quick but it felt like it was struggling at times and from scratch it has zero pick up. I don’t know if that’s because of the transmission or what. What do you recommend would be a good buy based off of the fact that I really liked the way the Altima looks but I don’t want to have transmission issues down the road.
Umm it does if you launch it right . If you never felt your car sit at redline then you don't know how much quicker the car feels sitting at redline. Sad for you.
@@rocknrye9273 still faster sitting at redline. I can feel it in my butt when it hits redline and sits there instead of shifting. In the real world you can lose a race with the shifting.

I have this car and if you want something fast it is not it there is always a delay in accelerating I hate it 😂

You try double pressing the button once it’s on yet?
Guessing it wasn't much because it seemed decently ok
😂😂😂😂😂😂 like cats
How far above sea level.are u?.
2500 I believe is las vegas
my 2013 3.5sl accelerates way quicker lol
I had the 2012 3.5SL Altima too. But some dumb brawd decided to run a red light and total it with her piece of crap Malibu…
I would hope but this is also higher elevation
Yeah, but the 2013 looks like crap compared to this. This new model is beautiful. There is no better looking car on the road.
Hate the CVT
Why

Why didn’t it simulate shift?
When you floor it fast from a.complete stop it doesn't shift
its a cvt transmission
I've been trying to figure it out forever in my 2020 altima I can't get it to not do the fake shift thingy
Mine shifts gears lol it doesn't do this sitting at high RPMs shit. 😂

@@occckid123 I can do both. And it's not much of a difference. I've timed them both.
@@occckid123 And no need to feel "sad" for me 🤣 its an Altima and has the worst type of transmission ever made.
@@rocknrye9273 still faster sitting at redline. I can feel it in my butt when it hits redline and sits there instead of shifting. In the real world you can lose a race with the shifting.
@@rocknrye9273 I beg to differ. I've driven clunky transmissions that doesn't have good gearing that are much worse. Far from the worst.
