Luckily, my fiance is a mechanic so he will keep a good eye on it and look out for anything out of the norm. I sure hope it lasts because I have really grown to love the CVT.

OP....I would recommend you check your headgaskets for a small leak while you're still under warranty. Easiest way is to get under the car and look up at each headgasket. You'll see green crusty residue around each head if it's leaking. It's typically a small slow seep, and you probably won't have any issues if it wasn't replaced, but I'm anal about my cars and it bothered me knowing it was there.
