Hi there, I am looking at buying a 2007/2008 Japan imported Nissan Tiida 1.5l with CVT gearbox for my 23 year old daughter as a commuter car. Having seen a lot of complaints about the Nissan CVT gearboxes and related problems with these on earlier model cars, how reliable are the CVT gearboxes in the Tiida's from that year of manufacture? And can I expect Nissan NZ to be able to service / repair this vehicle? Also, how exp[ensive are these gearboxes to recon / replace (and will Nissan NZ honour the 10 year warranty that Nissan issued on these gearboxes)?

Thanks,
Poen
