meh...they lost me at CVT...
It'll still sell like hotcakes though, nice looking appliance.
exactly I would not buy a CVT especially from subaru or nissan, just google nissan or subaru CVT problems and run the other way

I hate paddle shifters. My husband's outback has them and they drive me nuts.
I’m sorry, but I don’t feel like paddle shifters are a MUST HAVE on an SUV. Not even close. You can easily use your manual shifter, when needed. I can see how they could be required on a sports car, or even a sporty coupe/sedan. But on an SUV??? Really??? You have got to be kidding me. I’d still pick my paddle shifter less 2016 CX-9 Sig over any similarly priced SUV any day of the week, and three times on Sundays. To me it’s not even close.
Honestly, the only things I wish my 2016 had was front parking assistance sensors (now available on 2018’s) and a larger moonroof. But I have no regrets. There will always be a compromise when buying a car.
Congrats on all of you getting your paddle shifters on your Ascent (or any other SUV). Go ahead and enjoy them once every 5 years. Sorry to say that I’m not jealous at all.
Out of curiosity, what's to "hate" or "drive you nuts" about paddle shifters? If you don't like them, then you don't have to use them, right?
Regarding paddle shifters, i live in Colorado and head up and down the mountains frequently. I therefore often use downshifting to keep descents down the passes slow as well as to encourage holding a gear while heading up. Paddle shifters make that effort easier than using the shifter. I’m not saying that paddle shifters are a deal breaker but i definitely view their existence as a big plus.
