Definitely warmer.
Although last night, the temp dropped to around -10F. When I started the Rogue this morning, it just barely cranked (155 miles, so essentially brand new).
Then the CVT made a horrible noise! It sounded like a belt slipping, but of a more metallic screeching. I don't "warm up" vehicles, so I just drove slowly until the noise went away. I'm confident it wasn't a belt since the transmission made the noise under load, and not in Neutral.
That can't be good for longevity. I like that it nearly lugs the engine when driving around town -- but it seems like a new technology that has to evolve a bit. Arguments can be made whether they're more efficient than standard autos...
