Good until accident

Was a great car until I smashed it and was hurt because the airbags didn't deploy. It caused me to hit the windshield and recieve severe head injuries. They should have deployed and saved me from having severe injuries and memory problems.

Bad transmission

The 2013 Rogue has a CVT transmission which has had multiple problems in newer models. At 9 years, 96,000 miles my transmission went out and had to be replaced at a cost of $6,000. I talked with Nissan USA but there was no remedy nor discount offered since there has not been a recall. I won't buy a Nissan again - I've had Toyota and Honda with never a transmission issue.

Paint peeled

paint peeled off in several places. It looked liked there was only one coat of paint put on the vehicle. Cup holder is too far back making it difficult to reach your coffee or soda.

New to Nissan and I think I'm a Fan

My first Nissan and I love it. Drives great. Very comfortable. The SL trim package is awesome and the way to go if you can swing it.

Nissan is the worst; won’t fix paint recall

I have a white 2013 Nissan Rogue and it’s been amazing... until the outside paint started to chip and peel away. Why is this you ask? Because the white paint on the 2013 rogues had a recall, but they didn’t notify us until it was too late and when I went to get a different recall fixed, I asked what they could do about it and they promised to repaint it as I had come on the day my extended warranty expired. (I didn’t even know they extended it). So I waited and waited and now they're saying the warranty expired on July 1st at midnight!! I was there on July 1st at 12 pm (earliest appointment I could even get). It would be 7500 to get it repainted! F that! Nissan is the worst and I will never get another one after this car stops working. The paint chipping looks horrible and it’s embarrassing and now it’s rusting. Thanks Nissan.

Best car I have owned to date.

It was exactly what I was looking for in a car. It has bluetooth, rear camera, plenty of space for me in the driver's seat.

Great car for new and old drivers

This car met all of my needs. Great for a new driver or someone who doesn't need a lot of vehicle. It is reliable and rides well without being too large. VERY easy to park and maneuver.

Comparable to a go cart

This car would be okay for a first time driver or someone who doesn't care about the vehicle they drive. Super uncomfortable, something's are too close others too far away the transmission is supposed to be all fancy LOL not fancy at all, really doesn't get that great of gas mileage can't really fit anything in the back hatch lots of road noise stero is dull overall just feels unsafe and seems pointless at the end of the day bigger than a car smaller than an SUV..... Just a confused lil 4 banger
