It gets cold here in Winterpeg.
1. 20 years ago a mechanic told me "automatics are better now - there is no reason to get a manual, unless you like shifting gears - automatics are as reliable as the rest of the car".
2. I know several people that have CVT's in Nissans, and several who have bought a second Nissan, being well pleased with the first. They have never complained about any CVT issues with cold starts or not.
3. 10 year powertrain warranty.
4. Read the owner's manual. It may be a myth, or something from a different type of car, but it is possible that warming up the engine with the gear shift in neutral is preferable to leaving it in park (something to do with ATF, I assume). It might have specific instructions. Obviously, when a block heater is available you will want one of those.
5. Enjoy the car - let us know how it is working out for you.
