We upgraded from the 2013 Sentra SR to the 2016 Rouge SV for our college-age child. I honestly can't say enough about this vehicle. It looks great, and feels great. I upgraded to the Pearl White exterior with charcoal interior and it's a beautiful car. The ride is very smooth and it handles very nicely. The interior feels very roomy. I also especially like the flexibility in the storage area in the back, as several other reviews have mentioned. There are many safety upgrades with the 2016 that are well worth it. My daughter's favorite thing is the heated seats and mine is the auto lift gate. We highly recommend the 2016 Rogue SV.

Running Rogue

This is my third Nissan Rogue and each one is better than the last. The car is comfortable for a wide range of heights, I'm 5'2" and my friend is 6'4" and we both fit comfortably to drive with good visibility. The Rogue is the only car that I found that has the surround monitor where I can see 360 degrees around the car with the four cameras. The navigation system is very easy to use and the bluetooth quality has improved since my last Rogue. Acceleration is okay, but not great; we make jokes about the "roar of the four". All in all, I am happy with this car and the deal I got and when this lease is up, I will probably lease another Rogue.

Love my 2016 Rogue

I give this compact SUV a 4 1/2 star because nothing is perfect! It is a well constructed vehicle, solid with well thought out design for both comfort and convenience . I do wish the passenger seat had power controls, and both had the seat lift, but that's minor, it is comfortable enough without it, just would of completed my wish list. I love how it drives, and it handles the road well. I read the reviews about the larger side mirrors causing a blind spot, but I bought the package with the oncoming car warning light, and besides, I have always put the little mirrors from Walmart to stick on the side mirrors for better vision anyhow. ALL vehicles have a blind spot somewhere, so come on, invalid complaint! The other con I read was lack of strong acceleration, okay, but if better gas mileage is important to you, what would you expect? That's the trade off, but I haven't found that to be a problem with me, so it's an individual preference according to how you drive. I looked at & drove just about all the crossover SUVs within this price & size category, and to me, it had the best interior quality, options, and all around if not better, ride & comfort. Gas mileage is right on, if you drive it conservatively, which after owning a Prius for 5 years is simply a habit now for me. I shopped for 6 months, trying both the 15's and 16's , then narrowed it down to 3 makes, Nissan Rogue, Ford Escape, & Hyundai Tucson - (3 best for comfort, ride & amenities) and I chose the Nissan. Most all car manufacturers are pretty competitive with the overall vehicle performance and reliability apart from a few glitches now and again, if you get a lemon (and you are protected from that if you pursue it) their sales depend on it. The Nissan manufactures are as reliable as any out there, so for me it was the best QUALITY for the money.

Bad choice

CVT cables replaced at 24000 miles thought it was tires from vibration. At 32000 repeated . Transmission replaced. At 10000 miles front end clicking when turning wheel. Front end parts replaced . 64 years old when I bought this as a new car. I don't beat on it. I have owned a 1998 Nissan Altima, as well as a 2009 Altima loved them. Too many poor engineering decisions to list.Such as air conditioning dual climate doesn't offer max air. Things get trapped under front passenger seat almost impossible to get out. Seats fold down not level flat. Gaps in folded down seats. Emergency call button activated 3 times when not calling. Be careful when reaching for sun roof. I don't use it might as well not have it. Passengers get out of back seat belts dont retract properly causing drive you crazy rattle. Width of rear rail gate narrow not good for cargo. Hood moves like it isn't shut on high speed interstate driving over 60 mph . When checked its shut. Looking for mid size SUV run the other way!!

many positives on the 2016 nissan rogue ... size is perfect (184" long), descent ground clearance, excellent rear storage, sunroof is awesome on the SL trim. The styling of the 2016 rogue i prefer over all (toyota rav4, honda crv, kia sportage, ford escape) ... perf leather seats are very comfortable. usability of the roof rack is awesome! on the negative, here's the changes i'd like to see: 1. engine is a bit small ... still stay in the 2.5L but up the HP to 190 and TORQUE to 195 2. SL trim bring in ventilated front seats 3. flip rear glass on the rear hatch please (for us dog owners), and just plain old usability features for quick access to the rear 4. CVT ... internet is rampant nissan w/CVT failures ... i keep my vehicles for a LONG time (16+ years, 200k+ miles) ... there are too many internet posts w/regards to nissan CVT failures ... drop the CVT for the 7 speed transmission, or at least provide the option of a manual transmission
