CVT, screw that. Nissan's CVT models (Xtrail, new Pulsar, etc) are boring as batshit to drive and it's all down to the awful CVT driving experience. It might save fuel but it does it at the expense of ALL driving pleasure.

Stop start can die in a fire too. It works in BMW's quite well and smoothly but I can't help but get really annoyed that the engine shuts off and restarts in stop start traffic all the time.
