Not a common question but have any of you had any problems with CVT at high speeds (95-105mph)? A friend owns a Sentra 08 and can't go 90 for longer than 25 mins or it will rev high (5000), and slow down to 50-60. I drive 95-105 when traveling to Rocky Point and don't want to make the mistake of purchasing a vehicle with a design error like this. Thank you all for your answers.

I believe that this is because there is a speed governor
