I have a Nissan Sentra as my communter car, which uses a CVT, and my
mother has a Murano I have driven a bit. They drive my wife nuts,
because they never shift like she would expect. I like it because it is
one less thing to worry about. More like using a joystick, pedal down
and it goes faster, with no gradations of power through the
acceleration. Its user friendly, but counter intuitive for people that
like control.
