Thanks for posting that link, Eggman. I couldn't find it.

It's also interesting that the CVT in the Versa is the same unit that's in the Mirage: the JATCO CVT7. Chevy Spark uses it too.

You would think if one make was having trouble with them, it would show up in all makes. Although you could probably make the case that the Mirage's transmission is less stressed than those cars since it's hooked up to the least powerful engine of the three.
