Ultimately most modern cars are fairly reliable, however apples to apples Nissan has the worst CVT transmission out of all the Japanese automakers. Even Subaru overcame their CVT transmission issues eventually. If Nissan has done anything to fix it we'll have to wait till the 2017+ cars get up in their miles to find out. That bad reputation is the reason used Nissans go so cheap these days.
