 I test drove a 2014 1.8 CVT Sentra S with 24K miles and it was a turd!  The worst aspect of the car was lack of on demand acceleration!  I floored the car from start to finish and the darn thing would not go!  Poor engineering quality from Nissan!  My wife drives a 2013 Accord 2.4L CVT and the differences are night and day.  Perhaps I'm comparing to a top quality car maker, which I don't think of when I say Honda.  They've had their problems also.  You punch that Accord and CVT or not it's going to go!   For Nissan to put out a car that will not accelerate on command when entering a freeway is scary.  Imagine trying to get around slow vehicles or out of the way of potential problems/crashes on the freeway.  This CVT sedan is a true death trap, at least the one I tried anyway.  Even the salesman was surprised to floor it and get no adequate response from the tranny.  I'm wondering if there have been enough complaints to require NHTSA to have this car pulled from the streets.
