Bad car

2012 Nissan Rogue SV 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
I brought the 2012 rogue in 2012 it was brand new 0 miles on it in 2and a half year my transmission went bad i had only 67000 miles on it. Of course the warranty was for 60000 miles i contacted nissan and they would not repair my car because i went over the miles by 7000 i dont see why my transmission would go bad after that short time. I really think nissan should have at leadt helped … me repair my car. Got it fixed and cost me 5500. I will never in my lifetime support nissan ever. I advise people to look elsewhere. Even the company that fixed my car said they don't understand why nissan wouldnt repair my car. No more business from me nissan. Still will never buy nissan again
Nissan needs to fix this!

I will NEVER buy another Nissan vehicle or recommend one to anyone looking for a vehicle that’s going to last them awhile. My transmission went out at only 107,000 miles! After researching a bit this is NOT uncommon. Seeing as these transmissions have so many issues you think they would change something about it or repair the damn things for you. Nissan claims is not under warranty for … this transmission, but you better believe I will be getting a lawyer if they don’t fix this! They quoted me 4,100 for a new transmission! Nissan won’t be getting much business after I through with this if they don’t do anything. This is absolutely ridiculous! Me along with Thousands of other people are completely screwed because of Nissan and something NEEDS TO BE DONE!
Great small SUV at 3500 miles!! VERY happy!

The drive is terrific. Plenty of pick up. Not sure why anyone would need a V6. I mean, if you want to drive that fast, buy a sports car. The 4 cyl has more than enough to get us on the highway and for passing.
At 6ft 2 and lanky as can be, I am extremely comfortable. Plenty of leg room in the front, although I can't speak for the back as I've never sat in it. My 5ft 7in wife fits fine … in the back behind me with two car seats though, so that says something.
After 3500 miles, the MPG estimates appear dead on.
We can get 30 going 55 in flatter areas, 23 around town (DC), and 27ish at my preferred 80mph on the high. I'll take that for an SUV filled to the brim most days.
Love my Rogue!

2012 Nissan Rogue SV 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
I purchased a 2012 Subaru Outback three months ago. Though I had read some reviews about the numb steering, I figured I'd test-drive it. The ride and quietness of the car was amazing! The interior was of high quality. It was very roomy and the exterior handsome. But the steering! WOW!! The wheel feels like it weighs 20 lbs. It is numb and unresponsive. It wasn't until I drove it on the … highway that I realized how awful the steering really was. The car wanders all over the road and the center of gravity keeps shifting left and right. Scary! After 2500 miles, I traded it in on a 2012 Rogue. LOVE IT!! It has more pep, steers great, is quiet, attractive, and fun to drive. Thank you Nissan!!!!
