Used 2017 Nissan Rogue Consumer Reviews
The Murano killer
Traded in a 2012 Murano Platinum for a Rouge SL awd with all three option packages. We just wanted a new car with better gas mileage. The Murano was the best car we have ever owned. No complaints at all really, but our new rogue surprises me all the time with it's performance and quality. Took me a long time to realize that I don't need a V 6. I keep hearing that the Rouge is under powered and doesn't handle well compared to some of it's competition. Could have fooled me! I don't feel that way at all. Love it on the road and love it in town. We have the high end of the rogue line and the safety features are really a welcome addition to our daily driving. All the safety features of a more prestigious and much more expensive SUV, and we love the Monarch Orange color we choose, and the leather interior. After 9 mo. it's still a joy to drive. Couldn't be happier! It is now May 2018 and I was asked to update my review, and I wouldn't change one comment in my review. It is fully loaded, so it has all the bells and whistles, and most people I don't think pay for that, so it's a platinum Rogue. Love it as much as the day we bought it!

Cool Star Wars limited edition Rogue one in white.
I love the look of the white with black details. It makes it unique which is hard to find when suvs are all so similar looking. I like the ride, but still trying to get used to the steering. Mine is an SV model with the sun and sound package. The glass roof is great since I'm used to the roof height of a truck. The Bose sound system is Bose! Excellent of course. Backing up in this truck isn't my favorite thing to do. It has the rear camera and adjustable mirrors, but I am not comfortable with the view when I turn around to see behind me - another thing to get used to using. The interior design is good, and it's comfortable for everyone in the car. It even has AC in the back seat - my dog loves that option. I added leather seats for easier fur cleanup and the front seats are heated. I had it Simonized inside and out, which is well worth the price.

Revvy Rogue Really Rocked, but I moved on - twice
UPDATE: 5/21 Traded again for a Honda when the 2019 Rogue developed electrical issues. UPDATE: 9/19 I traded this car for a 2019 Rogue SL AWD. I downsized from a Jeep Grand Cherokee to my 2017.5 Rogue SL. I hadn't owned a Nissan since 1988 and boy was I impressed with this Rogue! I happened to be test-driving several pre-owned vehicles (different makes and models) and tried a new Rogue. I was hooked. The car is zippy despite my concerns about a 4 cyl engine -- I accelerate quickly and smoothly for freeway driving and have never felt short of power. Yes, there's a little whine as it winds up for 1st gear but it's not tinny for harsh. I love the big sunroof, gas mileage, BOSE sound system, and the safety features. The interior is comfortable and pretty quiet, although could use more soundproofing on the driver's door -- too much road noise there for my liking and I sometimes doublecheck to make sure my door is closed all the way. I wish the front seats were a bit wider (or perhaps I wish I was narrower) because every now and then I accidentally bump the rocker switch for the seat warmer. I wish the console storage was forward a few more inches for easier reach. I like the convertible cargo area -- handy on grocery day to have that divider in place and have a double-decker of secured items! The interior scratches easily in the cargo compartment (the plastic) and I've discovered there is no touchup paint. The controls are all easily within reach and the car is easy to maneuver. Overall I'm very pleased with this car. Wish I could have afforded the AWD model, but that will have to be part of my next purchase. This car is just the right size for my needs, has all the bells and whistles I want, and is fun to drive! It's comfortable, solid, and has been problem-free in the first year of ownership. I don't like the factory tires and can't wait to change those out, and the dealer-added window tint is a tad too dark for nighttime visibility but overall I love my Rogue and smile when I buckle up! On the highway I get about 33-34 mpg, and combined city/highway I get about 28 mpg. I'm satisfied with the fuel economy. UPDATE 3/19: All is still well with my Rogue SL! No issues have arisen since my last review and I remain pleased with my purchase. My best combined gas mileage has peaked at a stellar 38.3 but that happened only once. Combined city/highway mileage is around 28-32 and highway mileage around 33-34. No rattles or other problems. There have been two recalls but my vehicle wasn't affected.

New Buyer - Excellent value for money
I am a new owner of 2017.5 SL with platinum package. I did extensive analysis comparing this with CX-5, CR-V & NX (My cars in the radar). I was very much drawn to the rougue due to its appearance and utility. I was a bit concerned about the inputs provided by some regarding the acceleration and CVT. After test driving all my comparisons decided to go with this as it was the most comfortable and appealing to me. It takes a bit getting used to the CVT and feels like there is a lack of response (especially I am coming off driving a BMW 328i for couple of years) but I feel that being mild the accelerator gets a more responsive torque and good enough for day to day driving. I am very comfortable now and love the way it handles the road imperfections. The smoothness of the ride is very good and I am very happy about the purchase and no second thoughts. I placing this feedback in case someone is looking for a user feedback and want to help people like me who had a lot to gain from others feedback. I have had it only for few weeks but enjoy driving it and thats the most important for anyone who buys. It sure is not the quickest off the block but good enough for average city driving.

Great SUV
First off, the interior of the Rogue looks more like a luxury SUV than a moderately priced one. Nissan did an exceptional job here. The ride comfort is extraordinary and at highway speeds there is basically no wind noise. The only negatives for me - which are extremely minor - are: the switches to turn on the Sport and Eco modes, and the rest of these, are located in a place - lower left hand side of dashboard - which makes it difficult to see when driving. The only other thing is the map graphics for the nav system are a little dated. Other than that, I checked out a good number of SUVs in this general price segment (Honda, Toyota, Mazda and Subaru) and for y money, the Rogue blew the rest of them away. The adjustable configurations for the shelves in the hatchback area are excellent. Sometimes we carry things - like grocery bags - that are long and vertical and would have a difficult time staying vertical when driving. We just configure the back and put the shelves vertical into their holders and voila we have an area that will hold the bags tight and keep them up. We can also put the shelves horizontal and double the storage spaces back there. Fuel economy around time is not great - about 23 MPG - but highway in ECO mode we were getting 32-33 MPG easily. Since we bought the Rogue in Sept 2017 we see ALOT of them on the road, so if you don't like that then buy something else but seeing so many just confirmed for me that this is the best small SUV out there right now.... ********** UPDATE ********* It is now June 2018 and I have owned the Rogue for 9 months and it has a little more than 6k miles on it. I probably like it more today than when I wrote the original review ! Very well built automobile, the safety features are awesome. Went through the Connecticut winter without a care. The only improvement I would make is to the NAV system. The maps feel a little outdated however the system works well. Overall I cannot recommend the Nissan Rogue enough ! ********** UPDATE ********** It is now Dec 2018 and I have owned the Rogue for about 15 months. A little over 12k miles on the odometer. Still very pleased with the vehicle. No issues at all as far as defects. I am still not thrilled with the NAV system - it gets you there but could be easier to use. It is still probably the most comfortable vehicle I have owned. Perfect for long trips in terms of comfort, storage, AWD (if traveling in winter), and gas mileage. ********** UPDATE ********** It is now Dec 2019 and I have owned the Rogue for 27 months. It has about 23k on the odometer. still very pleased with the car. No complaints. My wife and I really love it, especially for long trips and on snow-covered roads here in CT. It is just a very comfortable vehicle. I drive it all the time with no radio on, in complete silence just to listen for anything out of the normal. I never hear anything, no rattles, no loud engine noise, nothing. It is a very tight automobile and I recommend it highly.
