Used 2017 Nissan Rogue Consumer Reviews
Well kept secret!
Looking for a new SUV, I tried many of the small ones out there. When my daughter bought a Murano, I test drove a Rogue and fell in love. The ride is smooth, seats are comfortable and all the accessories it has are great. As far as slow, I think the ride is just so smooth, it doesn't feel like it has speed. I've had my rogue a month and not noticed any problem with acceleration. I feel very safe in my car and am thoroughly enjoying driving it everyday.

2017 Caspian Blue SL
I absolutely love my Rogue. When I was car shopping late last year , I had read several reviews on the Rogue as well as several of the competitors in this class. I then set out to test drive my choices. They were the Honda CR-V , Toyota RAV4 , Subaru Forrester , and the Nissan Rogue.Most American made competitors didn’t make the cut mostly due to high cost and sub par reliability history. The Only consideration was the Ford Escape , but the comparable cost was not competitive. It’s way overpriced. In my test drives , I was least hopeful and most pleasantly surprised by the Rogue. I had read so many poor reviews based on the Rogues performance , acceleration and the cvt. The one I had the highest hopes for was the Crv. I drove it first. Didn’t care for the looks too much , wierd horizontal protruding taillights (vertical pillars are a crv classic, why change that?) as for the Subaru and the Toyota , I was really unimpressed. They were plain , bland and even felt kind of cheaply made. The brand new rav4 I drove even creaked like a 10 year old car does idk if I just got a bad one , but it sounded as if the interior was coming apart anytime I hit a bump on the road. No bueno. Finally after a week of test drives , I made my way to the Nissan dealer and stepped into a beautiful caspian blue Rogue SL and fell in love...This is a beautiful vehicle. The interior in very high end , soft touch durable surfaces that don’t look,sound or feel cheap at all. My niece owns a Lexus is250 (beautiful car) and my Rogues interior rivals or bests it. I have had people walk away stunned after riding in it with me . Comparing it to BMWs and a Benz in one case. Not only does it look great and is it beautifully aggressively designed, but it runs like a dream. Super comfortable and loaded with safety and technology . As for its acceleration , ok it could be a little stronger but the amazing gas mileage I am getting more than supercedes this minor issue. I have had no issues at all passing slugs in traffic or merging quickly onto a busy highway. I feel some gear heads think all vehicles have to perform like a Ferrari. For the person buying a family runaround vehicle for weekend road trips and grocery runs , the performance is perfect. As for the cvt , if you want a traditional transmission , then do your homework, there are plenty of options out there for you. I love the cvt. It performs better than most and this particular one works great for Nissan. Even somewhat mimics a traditional transmission for those that aren’t open to NEW technology, (crazy). Know what you are buying people!...All that said, I couldn’t be any happier. I LOVE my Rogue. Don’t be fooled by “professional” reviews. Drive it yourself be your own professional. I relate more to Consumer reviews as we are the ones driving and living with these vehicles on a daily basis. “PROs” step into a vehicle once for maybe 30 mins and seem to have ALL the( sometimes very Honda/Toyota biased ) answers. Trust me people there are better options out there. The Nissan Rogue...

ROGUE
Make sure you get the latest model 2017.5 with additional safety features. Unfortunately the dealer gave me the 2017 older version.

My 2017 Nissan Rogue
3/2/22 The Rogue is still on the road! it has held up okay. The issue with the vibration is still apparent at low to moderate speeds. Really good in the snow. Overall not much has changed. 9/1/21 The Rogue continues to run it is still plagued by the Nissan Drone. A slight vibration at certain speeds. You can definitely feel it through the steering wheel. Despite every attempt on my part, and assurances that it would become less prevalent over time. This is not the case. The issue persists. Average mileage has started to slip some in eco mode. Now it is averaging about 24-26 MPG. Having driven cars with Apple car play. The lack of this feature is noticeable. Overall it is a reliable car in all weather conditions. Because of the drone issue I would not buy a Nissan. But that is just me. 2/28/21 The Rogue continues to run. Very reliable and very good in the snow. The vibration continues between 32-42 MPH. Just put on new tires no change. Mileage has not decreased despite age and more miles on the odometer. Service has been good at the dealership. Seeing newer cars with apple car play highlights this models connectivity issues. It was a good value at the time for money and continues to be reliable. Once again here I am reviewing my Rogue. It has held up through snow and hot summers. The lack of apple car play is still one of the issues with the car. This is my fault. I thought it would not be a big deal but it is a feature I like. The vibration is still there in the steering wheel at low speeds. Maintenance has been standard. No real out of the ordinary costs. It is comfortable for both myself and passengers. Mileage has dipped a little in combined driving. The cargo space is often an inconvenience due to the configuration. The space looks bigger than what it will actually hold. The remote start only works from a short distance. It is also basically line of sight as well. Hope this helps you in your decision. Update 8/29/19 Edmunds asked for an update to the Rogue. It is still running well. It still has the vibration issue. The tech in the model and year I have s not great. Connectivity is okay, but there is no apple car play. Gas mileage is still 23-24 in eco mode everyday driving. Straight highway you hit 26-28. Ride quality is still the same. It is an SUV and you do feel it as a little stiff. But not uncomfortable even on long drives. Best quality of the Rogue is that it is great in the snow. It really can get through when more expensive can't. If your buying just make sure you test drive at low speed. Update on the Rogue. 8/28/18 The car overall is holding up well. Fuel Economy is marginal even in econ mode. The rear cargo area has protrusions for the shelf system. When you use the shelf it is great. When you are loading a large object it prevents it from fitting into the space. If the key is in your pocket with a cell phone the auto door lock will not work and the car can't see the key and it will not start. The blue tooth is spotty and is very slow to react to the controls on the steering wheel. On the highway it is a great car. Very comfortable and fairly quiet. The droning of the engine pulses is still very prominent at low speeds. The steering wheel vibrates and is very annoying. When you test drive this car please make sure you find a long test drive route where you can maintain 1,500 RPM. The CVT transmission causes a harmonic vibration in regular mode. It is caused by moving into the highest gear possible, as quickly as possible to obtain the best fuel economy. You are no doubt asking how does this guy know this. Well I bought a new Rogue in July and have a vibration in my steering wheel at 1,500 RPM. I took it back and the the dealer said nothing could be done. I called Nissan and they said they are aware and nothing could be done. The dealer got me in touch with the regional technical service representative. He rode in the vehicle and said this is what you have. Once again nothing can be done. If a fix becomes available we will let you know. This is a feature on all Rogues and you should have felt it when you test drove the car.

2017 Rogue
Initially I was looking for an affordable SUV, a Mitsubishi Outlander 2016 it seem like a good deal and had great safety features. Looked around and happened to visit the Nissan dealer just to see what was available. Looked at a 2016 Rogue, seemed nicer than the Mitsubishi but the 2017 Rogue is much nicer plus is a 2017 after. The interior of the 2017 has a more sportier feel to it even the steering wheel is different plus the color of the vehicle is unique. Finally decided that that the 2017 rogue was the one for me. With the features the vehicles has such as eco mode sport mode is teaches the driver how to drive plus the other safety features it has and luxury features like Bluetooth,Xm Radio TPMS for the tires among other. I feel it is a great investment in my part, there is no need to worry about breaking down on the side of the road any time. Just turn the key and drive.
