My wife bought a nissan sentra for our kids to use in high school and college, it's on it's third CVT transmission.
The dealer replaced the first two for free (out of warranty hint hint).

Evidently my daughter liked to go over the grapevine without slowing down much, and the heat from keeping it nearly pinned to the floor up those hills was too much for the transmission. Ironically the belt didn't fail, the bearings did. Go figure.

I wouldn't trust one to tow anything, but if I really had to I would at least make sure it has a good transmission cooler.
