The Nissan CVT can have problems. A whirring or grinding noise is a common issue, and it’s usually a bearing failure in the transmission. If you have such a noise in your car you should contact Nissan (1800 035 035) to discuss repairs.
There are many options for replacing a Nissan Altima key fob, but without more information about your specific vehicle I can't give you more information about the cheapest option. You can read more about cheap replacements for a lost key fob here.
The Civic is so good — one of the best Japanese cars I have driven for a very long time and a definite for The Tick — that I wouldn't bother about the Nissan.
I would go for the Camry every time after a Maxima. It's $28,990 driveaway for a new car at the moment and is about the same size as the Nissan but much more refined and lighter on fuel.
No, it's not normal. It could be that they forgot to check it as you requested, perhaps they thought you were imagining it. Anyway, take it back and this time have them fix it.
It sounds as if you want me to give you the go-ahead for an Altima purchase. OK, done (even though I prefer the Camry). There is nothing dangerous about the Nissan's steering and you will adjust quickly to the feel.
