Used 2015 Nissan Rogue SV 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
Great Car the came out on top
After reviewing and test driving compact SUV's in the same class over the past 2 months, I ultimately decided on the 2015 Rogue SV PWD with the Premium Package. For a great price, I was able to get all of the premium features that I wanted (i.e. Navigation, AroundView Monitoring, etc.) as well as a very reliable vehicle with above average gas mileage. The first thing I have found is that the comfort and cabin space of the vehicle is second to none. I am around 6'3" 215 lbs. and found that I fit comfortably in all of the seats in the vehicle. With that also comes a large cargo area that is amongst the largest in its class. I have read many reviews about the rogue which often commented on less than advertised mpg. but have found myself averaging a combined total ~29 mpg in the FWD version. I drive a combination of both highway and city. One thing that I have found is that the Eco button on the rogue can increase your mpg by ~2 mpg. As far as the ride goes, I have found it to be very smooth. I have read reviews commenting on the lack of power in the rogue and found them pretty comical. What would these people expect when buying a 4 cylinder vehicle. I switched over from driving a v8 Lincoln and have had no issues so far. Sure, the hp and torque on my rogue isn't going to perform like my old v8, but I wouldn't expect it to. The cabin noise when accelerating is hardly noticeable. The interior is very modern and I would highly recommend upgrading to the SV premium package if able. I had driven the SV without the premium package and wasn't impressed with what it had to offer. It seemed a little outdated to be honest. The premium package makes the interior pop and includes an upgraded touchscreen, navigation, aroundview monitoring, blind spot detection, and lane departure warning. I may have missed a few but that is what sticks out at me. The premium tech package is very user friendly and responsive as well. Overall, I wanted a very reliable vehicle that was had good gas mileage and was able to haul the larger items that my Fiance and I couldn't fit in our cars. We got all of that plus more. I am very happy with the rogue and would certainly pick this vehicle if I had to do it over again.

Massage seat vibration
Bad vibration at idle and even more at light accelatrion between 20 - 50 mph. Nissan said this is normal. I owned a 2013 rouge before no problems at all , I think it is very unfair to be treated this way I guess this is the new world . Please do a long test drive before even thinking about purchasing

Upscale interior and ride in mid priced CUV
Shopped several different compact CUV's (Honda, Ford, Toyota, Chevy, Subaru) and decided on the Rogue. Had the most upscale interior and nicest ride of them all. While the 170 HP 2.5L engine is less HP than many of it's competitors, I found acceleration and power to be plenty adequate for a family oriented vehicle, and the Rogue's MPG is the best in the compact CUV class. Navigation and bluetooth systems are easy to use. While a backup camera is standard for most in this class, the one thing I really liked on the Rogue is the 360 around view monitor, which is something the others did not have.

Pretty to look at but cheaply made
When doing my research for this size of SUV I narrowed it down to the Rouge, Cherokee and the Forester (the 14 CRV was not nice like the new model so I didn't like it). I should have gone with either of the other two. I liked the Rogue because of the all around camera system, the divide and hide trunk, the panoramic sunroof, the mpg and the price, so I drove about 3 hours to go get the last one in California with the features I wanted. After the test drive, the negotiations, and the paper work they pulled up my new car and as I was getting in I just happened to notice the door sill plate was loose. The mechanic checked it out and and said it was the plastic connector and pushed it back into place- at this point I should have changed my mind and left- but I didn't, I thought it was just a little piece and I was too excited, so I took the car... I didnt know that was a prelude of continual cheap pieces on the car. Not long after, the molding on the driver side car was so loose I could see through it to the windshield- had to be replaced. The steering wheel had loose plastic pieces that felt like they were about to come off- had to be replaced. The passenger side window has roller marks on it every time I roll it up and down- worked on twice still leaves small marks and now that window goes down a lot slower than the drivers side. The front seat needed to be fixed because a spring was popping against the fabric and about to come through it- had to be fixed. The stereo navigation system kept freezing up repeatedly and wouldn't come back on until I shut down the car, left it for a while and then restarted it- had to be replaced ( when they replaced the stereo they damaged the trim all around it and by the shifter- so they had to be replaced, then when they replaced those trim pieces they made the drivers seat grind when adjusted- currently being fixed). Multiple pieces of molding have come off that I just put back on. The current issue is the beautiful panoramic sunroof, it leaks like a waterfall right between the two panes of glass onto the metal track the sunroof rolls back on and the only reason I noticed it was because I was in a cool car wash and was taking pictures as I sat going through the machine- who knows how long that has been happening and what other damage it has caused. To make matters worse when I took into Nissan they checked it out and the service rep comes out and says "yes" it is a faulty seal and needs to be replaced, as he says this the car drives up after they ran it through their high pressure wash thus getting water on the seats... Another reason I liked the car was the mpg. I think it was 2nd maybe third in the specs of other cars the same style but according to the mpg meter on the car I don't come anywhere near the stated specs except on long downhill rides. Something others pointed out is yes the car is loud, when going uphill or pressing hard on the accelerator- to be honest I kinda like it, sounds "throaty" but is also annoying at other times. If you plan to haul a lot of stuff like friends and camping gear or just have big friends, the car gets really, really sluggish, and the suspension gets really low and the car does not seem happy at all.

Great little SUV
I purchased it brand new, so far no problem. Nice quiet ride, very steady on the road, very good brakes. I love all the extras that came with the car ( navi, climate, 7'' Screen, secondary screen, auto lift gate, wide tires, roof rack, lane departure warning, four cameras and more. The odometer reeds 11150 miles after five months. So far I get 27-28mpg/city. In a recent trip from Florida to Virginia I got 34-36mpg/highway. I had hard time to make my Apple phone work with the car, so I got a Samsung Note that works flawlessly.
