Yup, thats the exact same year my dad has. CVT's are good, but these ones deffinately had some quirks. They great part is if they are going to die its most likely going to happen under warranty and the replacements have all the major issues ironed out. It sucked that he had to get towed and was without his vehicle for a week, but it wouldn't have been as bad if the dealership weren't such jackasses (Stadium Nissan=bad).
Pretty crazy that you have the same engine in your SUV and your roadster... they sure feel different from each other, but they both have that distinctive exhaust note that I hear in ever 3.5 powered Nissan.
