CVT technology is decades old, but has never been mass-scale commercially 
viable until just a couple years ago. Because of the reduction in number
of 
moving parts CVT transmission have generally had more long-term durability

than typical transmissions. So far, the reliability of the Altima, and
other 
2007 Nissan products, has been very good. To get a better gauge of
long-term 
viability of CVT vehicles look at their quality record in Japan, which is 
excellent, where they have been produced for several years and are
subjected 
to much more stop-and-go driving.
