Most reliable car I've owned.

This car has met all my needs. AWD plenty of room in front and back seat. Easy to drive. Very comfortable. Much more than I expected in vehicle and price.

Nice looking suv with great features

Overall I really like the car. Great interior features and comfort. Love the sunroof, apple CarPlay and blind spot warning. Doesn?t have a lot of pickup power, but it has great steering and comfort.

Lots of tech, solid build

Really love the Rouge, so much so I traded a 2015 version to get this one instead. Reason, I wanted more features which are too numerous to mention here. My second vehicle is a sport model sedan costing thousands more, yet I prefer to drive this vehicle. It's a little under powered but it always gets me where I want to go in comfort and safety. The Rouge does everything well, plus it's right sized, ideal for my wife. The ride is comfortable and controlled for a short wheelbase vehicle. This newer model appears to be quieter and feels more solid than its predecessor, larger tires may contribute to that. Some complain about the CVT, I'm not that macho, didn't buy the vehicle to race to the next stop sign. Would like a bit more power, undoubtedly that would be at the expense of fewer MPG's. I average 28 around town, hard to beat for AWD. The interior is inviting with comfortable seats, heated no less. The divide-n-hide rear storage helps to keep groceries in place, believe this is exclusive to the Rouge. What a great idea, we use it regularly. Glad I stumbled on Nissan, had no idea they would emerge as a class leader in compact SUV's.

3rd Rogue I have leased consecutively

Always pleased with comfort and ride of the Rogue. Every time I re-lease, there are improvements that add to the value. Example: 4 years ago the back seats were higher, which allowed for much better vision and ride for back seat passengers.

Smell ruins the experience

Love everything about this car except...and its a really big except...the SMELL. Brand new, only 5 miles on it and the odor that hit me when we opened the doors on the lot the first time was obnoxious. It did not fade, it is not a plastics smell like the internet tells you it may be, it's more moldy/mildew like soured laundry. After 3 months of waiting to see if it would fade we wanted the Dealership to replace the cabin filter in hopes that it will illuminate the stink. Now the Dealer wants to charge us for a new filter because the car is 3 months old while we were waiting for the smell to fade (yes we paid 1500 for an extended warranty but it's not covered at 1200 miles). My husband was too embarrassed to drive his co-workers out to lunch in it because of the smell! It has never had that new car smell. So while the seats are comfortable, the head room is spacious, we love the new camera systems and the side, front and rear warning system, the smell is enough to make us wish we could trade it in! Totally ruins the enjoyment of this car. So beware of an obnoxious odor and insist on a different vehicle or a "misting deodorizing cleanse" of the cooling/heating system and then a new cabin air filter. I would also avoid the Glenside Nissan dealership if I were you because after 30 years of loyalty and several car purchases the GM could not be troubled to comp the 69.00 cabin filter. Tired of places that want your customer loyalty but don't want to reciprocate.

Great family SUV

I purchased this SUV because i needed more room. I have a son and the car i owned before this didnt have removable head rests in the back so his car seat was in the middle and his stroller took up half of the trunk space. My Rogue has back seats that can fold on either side, arm rest/cup holders in the middle, air vents thay go in the back, loads of space in the back, roof racks, towing, heated seats, tinted windows. It has it all. Anyone who needs more space for a family, this is whay you need. Its excellent on gas for it to be as big as it is.

Love my Rogue

Recently purchased the new 2018 Nissan Rogue. Looking for a sporty, fun and fuel economic SUV for road trips and fun in the outdoors. I?m getting. 32.4 miles which is great for my trips, it?s comfortable and great room for me to load and go. Handles well on the road in all weather. Seats r comfortable and I feel like I have a bubble wrapped around me as it warns of other cars in my blind spot. I love my Rogue and look forward to many outdoor adventures.
