Better Than Pro-Reviews Say

I've owned my 2018.5 Rogue Sport S for almost three years now and I have a lot of good things to say about it. First, I bought this car for it's overall value, and particularly because it came with safety features that cost much extra in most competitive brands - where else can you find front crash avoidance and true blind spot monitors in an entry level package (hint: the answer is "nowhere else")? Second, after driving several other vehicles in this segment, I came away feeling this was the most substantial of the bunch - I can't quantify that statement, but I can add that the car is reassuringly solid and extremely tight (as in no rattles). Lastly, and this gets to my review title, the driving performance is way better than professional reviews indicate. That is not to say this is a sports car, nor is it a luxury ride, but it is a competent small SUV that can easily merge with traffic in most any conditions. It also has no problems mustering up the energy to pass on the highway, or to cruise at 75 to 80 mph. All together, a very nice car at a great price. The only downside is a troubling A/C issue that my local Nissan dealer has not fully diagnosed. My car appears to have some faulty AC controls, or perhaps a bad evaporator thermostat. Other than that, the car has been great.* *Update 2022: the climate control situation is still there, and a quick check of the internet indicates it's fairly common in Rogues and Rougue Sports. Since I live where it is always hot, I tend to be able to just leave it on full A/C without too much trouble. But, if I switch to defrost, I run the risk of losing A/C for several hours. Wierd and annoying, but quite infrequent in my case. I wish Nissan would issue a recall, as not having reliable climate controls can be a driving hazard in some situations.

This is a good looking SUV inside and out. Love its responsiveness and maneuverability. Plenty of room for passengers in the back seat and a good sized cargo space that includes small storage areas within it to hold various items including the first aid kit that comes with the car!

Solid gas mileage. Love the remote start. AWD is amazing in the snow. Great looks. Comfy seating in the front.

After 7500 miles on our 2018.5 SL AWD, we've found no significant deficiencies. We bought it for the tech features such as automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, various alerts, etc., but the comfort features, such as leather upholstery, adaptive cruise control, excellent sound system, and quiet cabin make it a very nice vehicle to drive. It's not a high-powered car, but has ample performance for normal urban/suburban driving and cruises easily at 75-80 mph. We'll have it for a long time unless something unexpected occurs. 2022 Update: 32000 miles. No mechanical or system problems and no OBD codes. I am not sure the engine thermostat is working properly since it seems to take longer to warm up on a cold morning. I think it would be better riding with larger tires vs. the low profile tires, but it's OK in that regard. Gas mileage is good, about 24 mpg around town. Overall, well satisfied with the car after over 3 years of use.

Sleek little sport

We have only owned the 2018 Rogue Sport for 3 weeks. We have found everything as expected. It was purchased for a run around town suv as we have a larger suv for family time, trips and picking up large purchases. The Rouge can perform the same duties in a smaller package. Would have loved a power tailgate and power passenger seat but was not offered. Nice that it looks like a sleek suv than a square box.
