Used 2016 Nissan Rogue Consumer Reviews
LOVE my new ride
This is the first new car I've purchased in 10 years and I LOVE it. I had been driving a Honda CRV and the size is comparable, but my Rogue is much more sporty. Great mom vehicle without looking like one.

Happy w/ 2012 Rogue S. Happier with the 2016 SV
I was a happy owner a 2012 Rogue S for a couple years. I kinda wished I had a backup camera on it. So when the last of the 2016 line came out and I saw the deals being offered I knew it was time to trade up. The SV trim had everything I wanted and more. Bluetooth, Backup camera, even more storage capability than in the previous generation Rogue. I'm pleasantly impressed with the new electronics, individual air presssure tire sensors and the moveable and tilt back seats. My friends like e drink holder! I'm most impressed with the quiet ride and the brighter headlights. I've owned 2004 and 2006 Altima S as well as the 2012 Rogue S and I'm very familiar and happy with the 2.5 L engine that all those cars had. It's plenty peppy for highway and city driving. I know I can put 100,000 plus miles easy on it without a problem. If I needed a bigger engine I would just get a Pathfinder or Murano. The AWD on the 2012 never failed me in the WV winters. I expect this Compact SUV to perform in the winter weather just as well. I don't need to tow a trailer and I could care less about doing burnouts these days. If you are such a gear head that you want to feel a transmittion that shifts from every gear, then maybe a CVT isn't for you. Give me the higher gas mileage and comfortable ride. The NASA inspired driver's seat with the lunar support and electronic positioning is awesome. I'm a satisfied Nissan owner.

Darth Rogue Black on Black 2016 SL w/Premium Pkg
I went from a 2012 Nissan Frontier SV Crew Cab with the Sport Appearance package to this 2016 Rogue SL with the Premium Pkg and it was like going from the Flintstones to the Jetson's from an options, comfort and tech standpoint. Loving all the amenities that are in it and with a daughter coming up on going to driver's education all the safety features certainly appealed to me. So far so good. I wish the splash guards came with the SL package I figure at $34K sticker price it should have them already from the factory. Not worried about the lethargic CVT and engine as my performance car days are behind me and I was looking for features and a comfortable interior. Love the styling as well, sharp looking vehicle. So far so good! Just turned it back in for a brand new 2018, no issues at all with the 2016 during the three years.

Never Again
Update 1/13/2020- I traded the Rogue for a Buick Enclave. I will never purchase another Nissan. I brought the Rogue brand new off the lot and like others experienced the vibrating and the knocking. Within the first 3-6 months of having the car they replaced the alternator, struts, strut mounts and eventually the entire front end suspension system. After all of that the vibrating and knocking noise was still there. I'm currently looking for a new vehicle now, either a Toyota or Honda. This is my second bad experience with Nissan I owned a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder that was apart of the bad redesign of the transmission and radiator. Thought I would give Nissan a try again after 10 years and that was a mistake. They were really good cars at one point, but that is not the case anymore. The dealership I dealt with in both cases and the factory are not honest and don't stand behind their products.

AWESOME!!!!
Here are other other SUVs I tested: Mazda CX-5 - Ok but you can actually tell from the slope of the roof that the rear seats are going to be very tight. My 13 yo 5'-8" daughter just could not fit comfortably. RAV4- Sloping rear roof line means same rear seating issue with Mazda CX-5 - though a bit less cramped. Hyundai Santa Fe Sport - actually better than Toyota and Mazda and NIssan because it is roomier, has the most bang for the buck (turbo-charged for the same class!!)....would have been my choice but quality of interior materials are below of Japanese brands. Overall with performance and power being equal, Nissan Rogue has the best Exterior Design, Interior in terms of quality, roomiest Front and Rear seats, largest cargo volume.
