Mr. Robot,



Winter is reminding you NOT to drive like a LOM , "Little Old Man":D



I am sure there is a little left here to misinterpret::nerd:


lol

I don't get to drive much anyway. The wife has these new behaviors that I can tell are intended to keep me out from behind the wheel. She's a bit possessive of this truck. I'm happy because I know she must love it. She's never been that way.

And you know, she doesn't care about any of the QC problems that bug the crap out of me, so I try to let it go.
 
Just a reminder - it's not a truck, so don't try to use it like one, especially going off-road. It's essentially a Nissan Altima with a crossover body on top. The drivetrain is a passenger car drivetrain.

It's a pet peeve of mine when people screw up "your" and "you're." Sue me.
It was poor proof reading more than anything. That's (as in, that is) what I get for typing posts on my phone.

Having said that, if it bothers you when others make grammar mistakes, you may want to avoid the internet. It's kinda (slang for kind of) like be bothered by women that wear bikini's while sitting on a beach. :D

Autocorrect doesn't pick up on the (mis)usage of your and you're, numbnuts. Pardon me for expecting people to not be dumb in the age of information. My bad.
No, but if you fat finger typing something and completely misspell something, it will stick in the word it thinks you want, which is what happened in this case.

FYI....The whole superiority thing wreaks of insecurity....
 
I can't tell if my 2016 SL is pretending to shift. It seemed like it at one point, but it's hard to tell. I'm not through the break in period so I'm not gunning it just yet.

Does anyone know if Nissan put the faux shifts into the Murano? God I hope not.
Mine appears to “shift” at 4,000 rpm - wish I could disable this...I liked the gen 2 that just went up and down smoothly with out the pseudo-shift to spill my beverage :laugh:

I found this Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission Shifting
That explains it is both rpm and pedal position.
 
Nothing is perfect. Some like it some don't. I like the simulated shifts a lot but I don't like the CVT trying to maintain 1,000 RPM at moderate speeds. Also when coming to a stop, a whining noise appears as if braking using engine compression; I can hear it and I can feel it! The noise is even worse in reverse as I reported in another thread. None of this on my previous 2014. I've learned to live with it.


In a perfect world, a blend of gen 2 and gen 3 CVT would be ideal. Add a selector switch for normal CVT, d-step logic and 7 speed simulated shifts at all pedal positions like a regular automatic. Also, add another switch for Sport, Normal and Econ and everybody would be happy! I'll keep on dreamin' as I'm sure it ain't gonna happen any time soon...

That's a good idea, but probably the Murano is the wrong audience for it. I really like the way my wife's BMW 3-series automatic's sport mode shifting works. It hangs onto gears longer before up-shifting, stays a gear lower than it would in normal Drive mode, and even shifts down while coming up to a stop. That plus the steering wheel paddle shifters give me much better control of the driving experience. There's no reason all of that couldn't be done with a CVT...but a vanishingly small number of Murano drivers would ever use it.
