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!

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.

For some reason this vehicle always gets underrated by the supposed experts. Despite that, sales figures indicate many consumers would disagree as the Rouge has become a very popular seller. This 2017 SL is my second Rouge having stepped up from the 2015 SV. This has lots more tech and safety features. Simple little things like the divide-n-hide rear storage make this a pleasure loading groceries as it helps keep them in place. The ride is superb for a short wheelbase vehicle and the creature comforts numerous. The all around camera system is a plus but the image could be better. The build seems pretty good and the materials better than expected for the price category it's in. Gas consumption is quite good averaging 27/28 MPG for mostly country driving. The engine is somewhat underpowered, the CVT works hard at keeping it in the right RPM range for max power when needed. That becomes one of the knocks against the vehicle. Personally I didn't buy the vehicle to haul a trailer or for its street rod capability. It's just a great family hauler that does just about everything well. UPDATED 0CT 2018 - Happily my opinion of this vehicle hasn't changed. Admittedly more power would increase the fun factor, that would make a good vehicle even better! Update Apr 2019 - Happily my opinion hasn't changed, the Rouge is just a great all round vehicle. Can't say enough about the convenience of the divide-n-hide rear storage, groceries stay in place, no spilt milk as the say. There is room for improvement, dislike the location of buttons on the lower dash. The seat heater switch makes you take your eyes off the road to use it. Love the all around camera but the image isn't that good. OK so it's not a 10, it still beats most of its competitors. UPDATE: Oct 2019 - Still pleased with the vehicle, actually prefer driving it better than our second vehicle a high powered sport sedan. The Rouge fits our needs to a tee - quiet, comfortable, great storage, all around usefulness. My 2nd favorite vehicle of all time, first choice a 1975 Chevy station wagon with 3 way tail gate.

I leased this car about a year ago I haven't had too bring it into the mechanic yet. amazing safety feutures with great interior comfort , the leg space is great the down parts about this car is that the accelaration is getting worse every time I drive and is aging a bit quick but overall a good car for the price you pay

I purchased the 2017.5 Rogue due to great financing and in the past driving suvs. I traded a 2016 Accord Coupe that was fantastic for the Rogue. Greatly regret it. My Rogue is top of the line with the Platinum Reserve package. I’ve never gotten the gas mileage that they claim it should get. It sounds like a go cart during acceleration. By far the worst vehicle I’ve ever owned and I come from a family that loves cars. It has been back to the dealership on several occasions, they can’t seem to find a problem. The owner drove it for a week and claimed to get a little better fuel mileage but was also driving 69 miles per hour. When I get out of this Rogue. I will never purchase Nissan again. Back to Lexus or Honda I go!
