Buying a Nissan Quest 2014 - 2016 CVT issues
 

Hi All, thank you for the great site and feedback information. Nissan is one my favorite makes in cars, as I had a Maxima 98 and gotten over 290k before it went out. My Maxima 2014 has 65k and has been fine as a commuter car.

I've been looking at mini vans for the family and just don't want to buy a Sienna or Odyssey. I like how the Quest looks. After reading many of the reviews, it seems the earlier generations from 2011-2014 had the most CVT issues. The 2015-2017 had a different gen in the CVT and was less problematic, or maybe.

I am looking at 3 currently to buy:
1st: 2014 / SL / 70k
2nd: 2015 / S / 30k
3rd: 2016 / SV / 60k

The wife would prefer the SL as it has leather and it would help with cleaning the vehicle if the kids spill juice, the others are cloth and it doesn't bother me one bit. If you had to choose 1, which one? I know the low mileage would be preferred, however, I just wanted opinions and what people thought about the CVT or other issues that would arise based on these 3 model years.

Thanks.
