    I actually got to drive this for a few minutes and that CVT is unique. Not good, not bad, just different. I’m surprised it has held up so well.

    I still own a 2015 Altima, bought it new , runs good and have had zero problems with it.

      Have a 2017 Altima with 800k miles bought brand new with original transmission and engine and it’s still going strong with no problems

    This dude is extremely hard on a 10 yr old vehicle without knowing much about it outside of gathering google data. Those 2.5 engines are super solid and reliable. The transmissions are actually reliable with maintenance as with any other vehicle. How about owning one before criticizing one or even claiming to know them and giving a bunch of false information.

      Yep I hated the cvt on my wife's 07 Altima, when I changed the fluid it was burned, but it was so easy to change everything on my own, the radiator, I changed pretty easy, on my Toyota Avalon now is so hard to work on, just to change the tranny fluid, my God such a pain, bleeding the coolant, sucks don't need that on my Altima , just better for a diy car.

    Had a previous gen and it held up well as long as the proper maintenance is done!

    Nice video. Thank you for posting this. We have a 2014 Nissan Altima with 75,000 miles on it. I have had the CVT fluid changed twice. Every 30,000 miles and all the routine maintenance. So far I haven’t really had any issues other than a dead battery. But most of all I pretty much agree with everything you say. People need to take care of their cars and do the maintenance on them before you complain about every little thing. The fluid needs to be changed every 30,000 miles if we don’t do the maintenance these people should not fuss when it breaks down. Thanks for posting again.

    How did the car feel coming down hills? Did you notice high rpm, as if it was doing a downshift? Anytime I come down a hill to a stop sign or light I feel a lot of resistance as if the transmission won’t free-wheel until the last 10-15 feet. Just wondering if this is ‘normal’ or if I have an issue.

    I’ve had my 2013 Altima for 7 years , only have had to replace batteries and tires and ofc oil changes

    My 2015 Altima (purchased in 2016)is the very first import vehicle I had ever bought. Year 1 used rental with 46,600miles.
    First problem was with the front headlights. Solved with putting a better quality headlight, followed by LEDs 2 years later.
    In my seventh year, replaced the entire suspension system and wheel bearings. (Think PM)
    Things that worry me, same exhaust system, and couldn't change the transmission oil (dealer checked and claim "lifetime" oil. (Used a diagnostic tool to tell me it's 3 out of 5 stars) "good to go." At $80@ litre CDN and no dip stick to check level, I chose to leave it alone. May become spring project for 2025 after watch this vid with a 30k mile change routine. No issues to date, save a harmonic issue at 2k rpm (no matter speed or load).
    Rear lower controls both broke within 6 months of each other. There is a "silent recall" to fix this issue, both times Nissan refused to do an alignment after the fix, so had someone else do it. Speaking of recalls, had 3 (YES 3!) for front hood latch.
    All oil changes on time, some early, and only had premium fuel it in. Runs smooth as silk.
    I see a lot of people trashing on this car, but I am impressed with mine. Currently with 170,000 miles on the clock.
    I kinda like it, for an import.

    2013 altima 2.5 SV with 224k miles. Never had an issue but the cvt on sports mode stock is trash (i got it tuned by a mechanic without my knowledge and now runs amazing)

    Cvt is guaranteed to fail regardless of maintenance. Just say NO to Nissan.
