Used 2008 Nissan Rogue S 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
Nice, but other better options
I found the interior ergonomics of this vehicle to be quite annoying. The window\doorlock switches on the door armrest sits a few inches too far back and cannot be operated without lifting your arm off of the door rest and reaching back. The side view mirror adjustment switch is literally under the dashboard and requires you to lean forward to operate. The lever to slide the seat forward and back is too far down and recessed. Visibility out of the rear window is worse than most because the window is smaller, slanted, and the rear of the vehicle is higher than driver's position. Cargo room is smaller than RAV4 or Outlander. I have owned other Nissans and loved them, but not the Rogue.
CVT makes hazardous conditions.
Finally arrived here trying to find a solution to my Rogue's power loss issue. All over the internet, it's the same thing... a cap to the CVT's operating temperature that causes the transmission to shut off/ lose power at normal operating temperatures. No recall? Is Nissan waiting for someone to die before they fix this? I was traveling on a fast moving highway in the SF Bay Area and a relatively low hill when my power cut out. I was in lane 2 and lost so much power that it became unsafe for me to even move over to a slower lane. When I finally did, a semi truck laid into their horn because my slow speed was causing them to lose THEIR momentum up the climb. Initially, I only noticed this failure when outside temperature was reaching 90 or higher. I now can no longer drive for more than 30 minutes before the car and I become a road hazard. I will never buy a Nissan again and will share this experience to anyone and every one I know that looks into buying Nissan. Insane.

My Rogue
Just purchased my Rogue on Saturday. I got the Silver with Black interior. It looks like a luxury vehicle. It's so comfortable. Has lots of power (enough for me). Very quiet ride. Interior is very roomy. There is nothing bad I can say about my new Baby. Only time will tell. Bought the car brand new and put 200+ miles on it this weekend. Considered getting the CRV or RAV which are also beautiful, but it seems like everyone has one. The Rogue was the way to go for me. Beautifully built. Go Nissan!
Best "economy" car
This is the best car I have ever owned. Previously I drove a 2000 Honda Civic. And Rogue just blew me away, and I did compare it to Rav4 and Honda CRV. It is comfortable to drive for long distance trips. Its acceleration is great. Internal compartments are well thought out: large glove compartment, deep driver's box, upper compartment, etc. It has the amenities of a luxury car (well, almost). Trip calculator, mp3 port, front and back windshield heater, etc. Mileage, however, is not great for city drive. But with cheap gas prices now, I only spend $26 (it was $55) every 220 miles. For long trips, I could get 330 miles
