After 1000 miles I ALMOST wanted to buy one

I rented a 2016 Rogue for a week and after 1000 miles I almost wanted to get one... almost. It's the best handling suv/crossover I've driven. It truly felt like a sport sedan. I have never been a fan of Nissan's CVT but on this vehicle it's fantastic; though the car itself feels under-powered with the 4-cylinder under hard acceleration, it is on par with its competitors. The power you give up for fuel mileage is absolutely worth it. I drove all over southern California from LA traffic to the mountains of Yosemite, and averaged just over 30 mpg. This is AMAZING for a 'spirited' driver like myself. I even managed 40 mpg on a 150 mile stretch driving conservatively. The handling and fuel mileage were absolutely enough to consider buying this car. The only major issue was how uncomfortable the seats were. Very stiff and not supportive (no lumbar adjustment!?), which led to back pain flaring up. When I sat in my own car the day after returning from my trip it was the biggest relief. Fantastic value especially if you find a low mileage used one, but not for me.

Buyer beware

Bought a 2016 Rogue brand new- from day one the brakes make a loud clanking sound when stopping the vehicle. Have had it to the dealership 5 times for this issue. Brake pads were replaced 3 times in the past 4 years as well as the rear hardware kit and calipers. Nothing has fixed the noise. I contacted Nissan consumer complaints department and was told by the regional manager that this is a normal feature of the 2016 model. Never had this issue with any other vehicle I owned in the past. Beware when considering your purchase. I wish I would have known this- I would have taken my business and my money elsewhere. I will never buy another Nissan product.

Not as impressed as I thought I would be

For me the best part of this vehicle is the gas mileage. Not one complaint about that. I'm tall with long legs and wish the front seat went back further. What drives me crazy is that the front door does not unlock unless the engine is turned off. I was used to a vehicle that would unlock when put in park. I bought this vehicle as a left over and have had it for two years putting 25,000 miles on it. So far the text messaging that would come through has stopped working and several times I have had to go through and pair the cell and phone book. The driver's side headlight would go out, then come back on. I took it to the dealer twice and was finally fixed when they found a short. Now, after only 25,000 miles I have had to have an alignment! Time to shop for a different vehicle and it won't be a Nissan Rogue!

Good vehicle. Nothing special. Great on gas, reliable, and comfortable. Rear ac blows very weakly

Original owner, the collision sensor always pack up even had nothing surrounded, already replaced two alternator and two batteries, after replace the whole set of engine camshaft but the engine light still comes up sometimes with the same code, after AC failed, then give up. Quality not too good.

Horrible technology

Nissan Connect might be the worst app ever conceived. Nissan insists it is a very good system and must be my phone that is the problem. Finally Amanda, who claims to be there had person at Nissan Connect, stated it wasn't there phone but that I have installed the updates from Apple. Nissan apparently expects you to not update your phone and risk it not working properly so you can use Nissan Connect, which is at least 8-10 updates behind Apple. Amanda claimed Nissan Connect is great system but had no answer for why they would switch to Car Play if it was so good.
