Used 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport Consumer Reviews
Fine all-around vehicle
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.

Reliable, stylish, comfy, but pokey
The CVT transmission I've been told is the reason why it doesn't immediately respond when I romp on the throttle. If I gradually press the pedal it tends to respond better but this isn't much help when I'm trying to merge onto freeway traffic. Got the Sun & Sound package that included a sunroof and premium sound system. The SL trim level included leather upholstery which is nice. Wished that the Midnight trim package was available for the Rogue Sport, alas it's only available for the larger Rogue. About six months after purchase I received a card from Nissan telling me that there's been a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) issued regarding a fault with the automatic braking system engaging for no reason. As it's still under warranty I took it in for service even though I hadn't had any problems (the loaner I used, however, did have this issue when mine was being prepped by the dealer). All that was required was a software update which took about 30 minutes.

I love my Nissan Rogue
This is the best car I have ever owned. It has the latest tech and fun to drive. I only wish the seats /interior was a little nicer and it had a little more power. It doesnt have a lot of pick up. The rest of it is great.

Please drive this vehicle over a year before revie
Mechanical problems start early. Making this car worth less than half of what you pay. From day one back door doesn't close properly. Battery didn't last year and half and can only buy from dealer, within two years radiator fan went out and can not be bought after market ($320) ridiculous. Top it off 2 years 5 months in, 120k miles NEW MOTOR!!! Who would ever imagine? I'm sure I'll be replacing a transmission soon after if this vehicle follows normal Nissan maintenance. My previous Nissan Altima had a transmission replaced 105k and I've got two others with same issues with transmission. Nissan needs to go back to the drawing board with vehicles or warranty power train a bit longer. I've owed some vehicles that should have never outlived a Nissan but this one is the worst by far. I will never buy another.

All Around Performer
I bought this car after having a 2015 Toyota Corolla stick shift, which I wrecked. I test drove several other cars in this class , Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi , Hyundai, Kia. Some outperformed the Rouge Sport , with power, others with comfort. It then came down to price. All cars in this class have same transmissions and engines , you pay more for the extra features , that later break/fail. I opted for the base model with alloy wheels. I drive 35 miles to work ( I have 35,000/bought new ), which involves mixed driving. On the interstate I cruise at 75-80 mph, no issues. Pass/merge with ease. Although "Sport" I think is play on words in looks only. In stop and go traffic it is able to keep up and move with ease,but it's not going to outrun too many cars, it only has 138-141hp. I drive alot in western NC mtns. Accelerates up steep mtns easily, it does get a little whinny but the rpms don't go past 5000. Its nimble around corners/curves . Brakes are above average, mixed traffic , curvy mtn roads .... Comfortable ride in the front . Back passengers tell different story, on trips longer than 20 miles . I rode in the back for about 50 miles and felt cramped , I'm 5'8'' and the seats were a little stiff. That's ok for me as I don't have alot of passengers riding in the back. Gas mileage is good not great, as my driving requires me to " put more pressure on the gas pedal". As I stated earlier, the price is what helped my decision, I got an amazing deal !!! I don't feel that I sacrificed anything, l enjoy my Rogue Sport !!!
