Had a guy test driving a 2013 and the CVT popped during the test drive. 14 miles on the car. These things are hit/miss really. My buddy has 135,000 on his 2007 2.5 Sedan with CVT and hasn't had any issues.

Nissan warrants the CVT up to 120k anyway, so popping them at 55k is a minor inconvenience as they give you something to drive while they swap it anyway.

This was my point JungleZ. Reliability is based on averages. Not an isolated or even minority of cases. Your post lacked supporting data and carried a negative connotation as most of your posts do. People will swear by Toyotas reliability. Think they never have issues? How about the Prius? Oh, did we forget about the brake failure issues they had where people were plowing into buildings cuz they couldn't stop? Obviously didn't stop a gazillion people from buying them.

Toyota and Honda Reliability is on another level from Nissan it's not even debatable

This is partly true. 2003-2010 models have CVTs warrantied to 120k. 2011+ do not.

I never had an issue with my CVT and I drove mine hard, but it did have a mind of it's own. Some days it was very alive and peppy while other days it was very laggy. Do I regret it? Not one bit. However, I probably won't own another CVT vehicle for awhile. It's come a long way but I think it's got a ways to go still.
