SADLY DON'T PURCHASE

Its been 6yrs now that I owned my rouge I am 3 payments away to paid it off. I was really looking forward to be car payment free for at least 3 yrs , but thank to the transmission that will not happen. I drive about an hour away for work. but in the last few month my car been loosing power when I am about 2-3 miles away from work. I have to force the gas but still does not work. until 1-2 minutes later the gas kicks in and car starts going... sadly disappointed. now I am car shopping..

Worst buy ever

I think Nissian should be ashamed! The car is great other than the CVT transmission!!! It?s a rip off and they know it! Don?t think they will replace it cause nope! Even though they know that transmission is useless... $4000 for. 67 year old widow doesn?t work.. Shame Shame

My first SUV and I like it!

Jeff at Flow Auto Center found my car and were very truthful about everything. They treated me like a person not a check. Steve and Jeff are the greatest!

I really enjoy driving this vehicle

I had smaller cars for years but needed something a little larger. A friend of mine had just purchased a new Rogue and I really liked it. I ran across a deal on a used one (3 years old with very low mileage) and have been very happy since. Just the right size for my needs. Comfortable and roomy enough for road trips of up to 4 people.

Best performing SUV in its class

Nissan Rogue is the most balanced SUV in its class. Much better than Toyota Rav4 in terms of performance with equal reliability and better looking than Honda CRV

Most reliable car I have owned

This was a used replacement after my Nissan truck was totaled; boy, have I been VERY pleased with this Rogue. It is a great medium-size SUV and a great value for the money. It rides very well and gets very good gas mileage for a 4-wheel drive.

Very reliable and cost effective

I bought two 2012 Nissan Rogues, 30 days apart...in 2014 used. I have only wonderful things to say about gas mileage and performance, have traveled to Georgia, and New England the gas was beyond cheap to go and come...I used it to travel to work 1 hour each way and my husband retired used it for puttering around....both have for 4 years been very reliable and awesome to own...I highly recommend.

Nice ride

So far I love this car! Drives smooth, good on gas, decent radio, I have 2 small children easy getting them in and out and they have plenty of leg room. The SUV itself is nice inside and out.
