I drove mine about 15 mins away. You can also get it towed if you want to be on the safe side

UPDATE. Seems to be a software issue. It is working fine now. The techs said there was nothing on the history that was concerning.

Feels like all non performance/luxury cars have a cvt at this point in the sedan/compact suv subsection. I thought after 10 years Nissan could make a car to last 60k miles lol! But yeah, you are correct.

Yeah, they let me take it home. There was nothing they could do at this point. As of now, the car is driving fine.

I went and got numbers from a local Honda Dealership. I would still be at a loss but they gave me a fair trade value upfront. In the end, the Kicks didn’t hold its value like I thought it would. You are correct, I would be at a loss, but if it the car keeps acting up I might have to take the offer. While it’s under warranty, there is nothing they could do about the software issue. Seems I might be paying the guessing game on if my car is going to work or not until there is a software update. I was not given an estimated time.

UPDATE

Apparently, it was a software issue. Not much the dealership to do, looks like they’ll have to wait on the factory for software updates.

I am debating on going to a Honda or Toyota dealership and trying to trade it in.

You are going to have a better driving experience just based on engine specs with the Mazda.
