I know that you specified "not for this forum" but I can not help mentioning that we have a 2013 Juke with the 1.5 turbo with CVT (although I think it is a 4 cylinder, should know but we use it so seldom that I can't remember). I think that almost any other method of transferring energy to the wheels is more efficient than the CVT- does the new Rogue actually get decent mileage? the Juke reads out, on the dash, mileage in the low 20s, and the transmission can't even be used to slow down by downshifting. We drive it maybe 2-3000 miles per year, when there is deep snow or ice, so....
Friends of ours with a recent year Juke have just replaced the CVT for the second time. Not a particularly happy experience for them. I hope yours holds up better.
