Well, I will probably say the same thing than you: Love the CVT (make me not want to go back to stick, and that means a lot from me), love the fuel economy and the interior.
As contrary as your wife, I am light footed, but I should force myself to push it a little bit more from time to time (I still put everybody in snow dust at dead starts). Since it is quite torquey, it is a lot of fun to do that.
Not a single glitch, runs like new, almost smell like new (but only about 22.000 miles on it as it is garaged now days thanks to public transportation to go to work).
If I have to redo it, I would buy an AWD (thought the nissan AWD system was bogus like the one from the other manufacturers but it seems to be way better, a real realtime system), but even in FWD, the car is fun to drive in snow, just understeer a little bit too much (I need a handbrake!!): I need to play with tire pressure to improve that a bit.
Not so much rattle at low speed (on really rare occasions) but yes, I will do the recall soon as it seems to improve the car a lot, bringing maybe even more fuel economy at highway speed (still waiting for some more feedbacks).
My UOAs bring also quite some Si, and I don't think it is from the Air Filter (Yes, it is the only one good available), seems to be the nature of this engine. Great UOAs that you have, thanks for sharing. I am running on PP and have good results too.
Love the car, I will probably keep it for a long time too.
