it depends on how you drive and what you have done to your car! CVT is more for a stock level more then anything else.

I have a JDM Primera Hyper CVT-M6 cluster swap in my P11 that i love! but that's the only thing i would do as far as CVT goes lol

im wondering the same, i have 33k on mine, but sometimes i get out of the car after a hard drive and its a little smelly

Sometimes when i floor my car off the line, and then let off the gas the car acts as if it doesn't want to upshift. It like sits at 4krpms and is heavily engine breaking. I have to re floor the car and then it will go back to its regular shifting ways. really weird.

really wish i would have went with the 6speed.

I have an '07 with 51k on it and I've had no issues with the transmission. The only issues I've had are a ton of rattles and I just started to notice a popping noise coming from the front passenger side when I turn =/

I did have the transmission fluid changed at the recommended 30k maintenance.

Got out of my 2008 2.0S today, traded it in for an 06 Civic, the car has been at the dealer multiple times, no major repairs just poor build quality and finish issues like rattling, steering problems, tire wear, etc. etc. I just couldn't risk keeping the Nissan and went for the Civic
