I have the CVT and to much rush hour traffic driving. In that world, a stick is no fun. As one said, the CVT is eerie, but I'm pretty much used to it.

Had a CVT in my Altima
Once you get used to it, it is an awesome transmission.
It really makes you wonder why all auto's are not like that...

The trick is to keep your foot OUT of it, or your mpg will be worse then a stick.

Personally though I had to get the stick in the cube, need more control during our wonderful Michigan winters

I'm going to wind up with a stick as well, I think after having a six speed in my SE-R I would get it again. I'm not comfortable driving a automatic anymore. I constantly press on the dead pedal while I am driving.
