Used 2016 Nissan Rogue Consumer Reviews
Disappointed
In my Rogue there is excessive vibration in steering wheel when accelerating at speeds 25 to 50 MPH. Attribute the cause to the powertrain, probably the horrible belt drive transmission Nissan seems to be married to. Could be a bad tranny but I am sure I will get no satisfaction at the dealership. Seats uncomfortable, very hard, not the zero-gravity comfortable seats found in the Altima. Car came with badly out of balance tires. Car is noisy at highway speeds. On the positive side, very beautiful styling, big improvement over the former models. Also, outstanding bodywork and paint. By far the best paint work of any Nissan, especially the ones manufactured in Mexico. I suspect that this car is manufactured in a Kia factory but with a Nissan engine and transmission. Anyway, I am very depressed that I bought this car. Fortunately I am leasing it for only 3 years. I really hate getting stuck with a car that feels cheaply made. Hopefully the dealership can do something about the powertrain vibration. Could be my last Nissan. Don't want anymore CVT transmissions. Horrible. I love Nissan styling. Right now I own 4. But no more unless Nissan puts real transmissions in their cars. I also worry about dependability and being faced with expensive transmission replacements at 90,000 miles.

Only have had my car 3 weeks
I have only had my Rogue for 3 weeks and so far I am very happy. The only complaint I have I believe is with most vehicles now days is that the paint needs to be tougher. It appears to scratch and get marks fairly easy.

Best Nissan yet, or 4 for 4
My 4th Nissan and 2nd Rogue. I thought my 2012 was great (SV with SL package) and it was, until I checked out the 2016. It's bigger, better equipped and more pleasant driving. It rides better than my sister's Lexus. Some reviews mention noise as a factor, but I find it to be the quietest car I've ever owned. While a V6 might be nice, there's plenty of juice in the 4 cylinder plus decent mileage. While it's still brand new, I expect great reliability like its predecessor. If not, my dealer has a great service department that has always come through for me. After a year, here's an update:. It's even better than I thought before. Commuting to work 25 miles, it gets over 28 mpg consistently. Gets around mid 30's on the interstate. Great in snow and carries the little old ladies to/from church in comfort. Accessibility is great, the doors open wide enough for easy entry/exit to the backseat. Keyless ignition is especially nice. Absolutely no problems or complaints with this car!

Love this car
We were also interested in the Mazda CX-5 but went with the Nissan because it is very easy for my aging in-laws to get in and out of the back seat. The Mazda had a much narrower door opening. Also, the back seat is slightly elevated making it easier to see for the passengers in the back. Although the driving experience isn't as sporty as the Mazda, we really like the CVT transmission and are impressed with the fuel economy around town. All of the buttons are in the right place and we love the looks of the beige interior.

Rogueish quality review
This car is packed with new concepts in safety , performance, and hospitality details. They are hard to get used to, and with some lifestyles, maybe not required. If you like "simple", consider lesser equipped vehicles and save money. Found CVT performance to be TERRIBLE -and subsequently got rid of the car through my KIA dealership. Traded for a KIA NIRO Hybrid, which we like a lot.
