I've had 2 Mazda's and they have been the best for me so far. My boss's Porsche just needed $15k worth of work too so the old saying you get what you pay for does not seem to apply anymore either.
You are not wrong there can’t beat japanese made cars for reliability.

What went wrong with it exactly?
Could argue that it wasn't built for purposes Intended therefore they should fix it
And a transmission should last.more then 6 years

Another thing some of these car companies say when you service you car is that your transmission or differential dont need oil change in them because they run oils that last life time that is another load of bull make sure you have them change no such thing as oil that lasts a lifetime.

look at the auctions why people are trading these types of cars once warranty runs out or poor service history (no help from manufacture)engine or transmission light comes on your got big bucks to spend alot of people will have the light remove with a scan tool one way or another and trade the car in (no warning lights on ) within a short period the light reappear on the instrament cluster bang big bucks to spend to properly repair the problem i work with used cars 5 days a week and fish 2 days a week

The early nissan CVTs did have issues but the T31 ie 2012 CVT is very reliable. Overseas nissan offers 120,000 miles warranty

You should have no issues getting a good second hand one from a wrecker.

This is a clone/rebadged nissan xtrail, nissan driveline and suspension. Renault built the body which apart from looks is basically identical chassi to nissan.

DCT?
DCT used in VW, Audi and many other euro cars are a 6k ish to rebuild and lucky to last 150k.

They shouldn't cost that much to rebuild the problem is the equipment needed to rebuild them is still very expensive.
