Did Nissan change their CVT design? I drove a 2011 Versa a while back and it felt like it was an Automatic transmission that was on it's last legs. Revs would randomly spike to 4000RPM going 55MPH and it felt like a dieining automatic transmission taking off from a stoplight.
I drove a 2013 Sentra and it seems to not be as rubber-bandy feeling. It also feels like the engine is connected to the wheels in a lot more substantial way than the Versa. It acts a lot like a manual with a clutch up taking off, then the revs just stay the same. Doesn't seem to be as rubber band-y feeling as the 2011
