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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I previously owned a Nissan Altima and since then have been impressed with the intuitive interior design of Nissan cars. Purchased the Rogue after looking at Subaru, Lexis and Toyota as well. I was interested in a hybrid with good gas mileage and all wheel drive capability, and the Rogue felt like the right size and was a comfortable ride! Have not owned the car long enough to know about maintenance costs or repair frequency, but if it's like my Altima, it'll be an easy car to maintain.

I guess everyone who drives a Rogue is Deaf. Thank the Lord this is my wife's car and I only have to ride/drive once in a while. I've being trying to get my wife to trade it in from the time we brought it home. Road noise is terrible..........................
Great with one catch! Fixed

I bought this car for its combination of features, value, performance. So far very happy with almost every aspect of the vehicle. It rides well, quiet, great fuel economy, lots of great technology and those Zero Gravity seats are VERY comfortable. It looks great and I love the panoramic sunroof.....awesome. The only issue I am having is a creaking noise in the front right strut tower when you turn the streering wheel at slow speeds. My Nissan dealer said Nissan is aware of it and working on a fix. I will admit to being a bit OCD about noises in my vehicles. I REALLY hope they come up with a fix soon otherwise i will have to trade it in sooner than I want to. I would be curious if other Rogue owners have been having this issue. But as I said, other than that issue, love the car! Update: so Nissan did fix the strut issue and I currently am just short of 14k miles. I continue to be pleased with the vehicle, not much snow this winter but the traction on slippery surfaces is great. Continues to be mechanically trouble free. 25k update: Continues to be trouble free. Assessment after a year and a half is that it is good car. It is not going to create passion for driving, everything it does it does well. Nothing is fantastic but it does nothing poorly either. Just a "good" all around vehicle!! 36k update, continues to be good solid transportation. No mechanical troubles and nothing is showing excessive wear. Enjoying the comfortable seats and the panoramic moonroof.

what a scam, NISSAN CONNECT, Navigation

very disappointed, had to pay for sirius to make sure my nissan connect was connected. now I have to pay and additional subscription for the NISSAN CONNECT. You would think that paying over 33K for a vehicle that the technology that was sold with the vehicle would be included with the vehicle.!!!!!!!! the Navigation System requires an $149.00 Map UPGRADE. I will NEVER buy Nissan again, Stand by original review! very disappointed!
