Bought used two months ago and here are my findings: First, if you’re using a vehicle for commuting (i.e. rush hour, daily freeway use) then this is the most comfortable/luxurious ride you’ll find. The seats are amazingly comfortable with no pains or aches after use, and the smoothness of the ride and steering is far better than the CR-V I tested (and I’m a long-time Honda fan). Reviews suggest the Mazda for “spirited driving”, but most of us are commuting and not on open miles of freeway without traffic, so “riding” is the key for this suv. I previously owned an Audi, and this interior and comfort is up there with that one, and only Cadillac was more comfortable, seating wise. Secondly, my experience (in contrast to some reviews) is that the gas mileage is good for an suv. I average 29-33 mpg in a 70-30% freeway to city commute. The key is to USE THE ECO option. Sure, accelerating the on-ramps is a drawback with the c v t, but you can get 35 mpg when using eco on the freeway. I have, and stress again that ECO is the key (any reviewers averaging 25 mpg are not using ECO). To wrap this review up, please note: Eco/sport buttons not in best location (low/out of sight to lower left of left knee); great gas mileage, most comfortable seats/smoothest ride, great storage options in back, radio antenna not the best (perhaps aftermarket upgrade needed to reduce some static - never had this problem on any other make of car), great looks. Key: Interior upscale along with ride. We mostly ride, not “drive”, so this is the suv for that.

Technology appears to be the weakest point

This is a great family car. It is comfortable, spacious, economic, and safe. Its performance is consistent with its weight to power ratio. The entertainment and navigation technology leaves much to be desired. This is further aggravated by the slow reaction by Nissan and its suppliers to update firmware and keep smart phone apps current. The last Nissan Connect update for iPhone was released in December of 2014. It is not compatible with the iOS 9.0.1. Apple and Nissan must work on full Bluetooth interface that allows users to connect devices wirelessly, supporting streaming apps such as Pandora, I Heart Radio, Spotify, and others. Nissan's customer support cannot tell users when they will be able to connect updated iPhones to their vehicles.

Have had my 2015 Rogue SL for 7 months now. It’s not a bad car, but I wouldn't buy it again, especially until some issues were resolved. Averaging only about 24.5 MPG, which is disappointing as I drive the turnpike to and from work for 70% of my miles - so it should be better. In the cargo area it seem things like groceries are always sliding around on the carpeted flooring, the adjustable storage configuration hasn't proved any use yet, the area below "floor" isn't deep enough to hold much of anything. It's been too small to hold folding chairs to take to kids sporting events. It would be better to just have a well and some non-skid material on the bottom. One of the biggest functional problems I have is with the power lift gate in the SL model. Put your gear in the trunk, press the button to close the gate, and hop in and start the car. If the lift gate hasn't finished closing, and it usually isn't because it's fairly slow, it will stop and not close any further. Additionally, the button to operate the power lift gate on the dashboard won't function anymore to complete closing the lift gate, or open it. It's stuck! And you have to get out and manually close it. Seems to defeat the purpose of having a power lift gate. Annoying when you forget to wait for it to close, which happens every week. Honda figured out how to make it work in 2010. I wish Nissan would address that, but they said it's designed to work that way. Really? They really need to do some research if they think their customers who will spend the money for a power lift gate think it should make you get out and close it manually. So don't pay up for that feature if that's big on your wish list.

REGRET of buying this Nissan

I bought a brand new 2015 Rogue SL AWD for my daily driver last year, and this is my biggest mistake! I should of do more researches before buying it. This car is the MOST POS ever. My suspension was bad after a couple thousand miles, the car made huge noise when the car is rolling. Now after just a year of ownership the car has vibration when I brake. The stitches on the seat are coming loose. I brought the car to dealer and they refused to cover the fix of the vibration problem because the problem is from the brake and rotor. This is unbelievable, because the car was serviced in the dealer every 5000 miles and they did not notice anything in their brake inspection. And now I have to replace the whole front brake set up (brakes and rotors) on my own. After the fix this car definitely has to go.

Worst Car in the World

The car tries to drive itself. So many automatic gadgets and sensors, you put the air on and the car decides what it wants to do. You put the defroster on, and the windows fog up more. AWD is a joke, the car "senses" whether you need it or not - I drove on the highway in 6" of snow and the car kept deciding I didn't need the AWD - and you can't override it. The car is not safe and it's annoying. There's an "automatic" setting for the headlights - they turn on and off if you go under some trees on a rainy day - how stupid! Why do I need that feature? If I put the headlights on, I want them ON! If I put the air conditioning on, I want it ON. Worst car I ever owned. I wish I could return it. UGH - DON'T buy this car!
