Tires beware

We love this car overall. Until recently when we got a flat tire that could not be repaired, no issues. Try to find a replacement tire....next to impossible. Apparently, the tires (225/45R19 92W Bridgestone ecopia), are specific to this model according to the dealer, and are very hard to find replacements. We called around to other dealers and tire shops and found the same answer. We finally decided to replace both rear tires with another brand that was available. Why would Nissan allow a car to be sold without enough replacement parts(like tires) available. No help from the dealer at all, just drive around on the spare for two weeks until they can find a tire.

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.

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 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 !!!

The car is the perfect smaller sized SUV with a roomy interior in front and back. I plan to take family on many trips with it. Nice safety features, however it does not have the automatic stop back up feature or the foot activated lift up feature for the back hatch like the regular Rogue. Nissan can't you add that to the Sport in the future!? The ride does seem more "bouncy" than I'd like, but overall I'm happy with the purchase.
