Let me add one more comment on durability complaints about transmissions. When I was in high school, the parents of several of my classmates had 1955 Buicks equipped with the Dynaflow automatic transmissions. There were numerous transmission failures with these 1955 Buicks. When my classmates were driving these Buicks, they would rev the engines up in neutral and then shift into low range. With this kind of driving, the transmissions failed at an alarming rate. Yet, I knew many people who had 1955 Buicks that never had transmission problems. Now the Dynaflow automatic transmission didn’t allow for as quick acceleration as other makes of automatic transmissions such as the GM Hydramatic, but the Dynaflow automatic transmissions lasted well when driven sensibly. I would bet if the OP drives the Altima using common sense and maintains the transmission by the owner’s manual, the CVT transmission will not be troublesome.
