I've driven two Nissan Maximas with CVTs behind their 3.7L V6. They were great! And I doubt Nissan would be selling them for so many years if there were reliability issues.

I am as "pry the clutch pedal from my cold, dead toes" as they come, but even I grudgingly admit there are times I'd rather not be bothered shifting; heavy traffic, long commutes, and so on. The Maxima and its CVT was a fine companion in those situations.
