Mine was a 2016 but this article says nothing about a different CVT So mine went out and left me in limp mode 1.5 hours from home, it was under warranty so I drove it home doing 35mph.. it only had 44k miles on it and thank God I had gotten the extended warranty. But that was of no comfort when I did search on those CVTs. I was horrified and found out that earlier model owners had sued and got their warranty extended. Do not buy!!

This is the sixth Altima I have owned in the last few years. They are great cars to drive. Very sporty and lots of technology.

Picked Up a 2016 SV 2.5 in March 2018

We picked up a lightly used 2016 (3,000 miles) on 3/4/2018 for $17,180 including Nissan Platinum and GAP Insurance (they stuck it to us a bit on those two). I would have liked to get the 3.5, but this is a commuter for my wife, 52 miles a day. Our 2008 Durango was killing us at 12 MPG, but this is great at 26 to 30 MPG, essentially cutting our gas bill in half or better. Plus I get the Durango back, which has 10 months an 6,500 miles left on it's warranty. I only do about 250 - 300 miles with it a month, so we're running 2 cars with a gas bill smaller than before. We have 30,500 miles and 24 months left on the Altima's Bumper to Bumper Warranty and 72 months and 94,500 miles left on the powertrain warranty, so I'm comfortable with "Reliability". Thinking about selling the Durango in the Fall with 4 months/4,000 miles left on the warranty and picking up an SR or an SL 3.5 for myself.
