Overview & Reviews

The 2008 Nissan Rogue is an all-new compact crossover SUV.

• Very carlike driving experience, supple ride, well-crafted interior, comfy front seats, excellent brakes, sweet-sounding optional Bose stereo.

• Less cargo capacity and versatility than some other compact crossovers, standard CVT is a poor match for the engine, impaired outward visibility.

  Best "economy" car - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Lex - March 5 - 1:13 am

  This is the best car I have ever owned. Previously I drove a 2000 Honda Civic. And Rogue just blew me away, and I did compare it to Rav4 and Honda CRV. It is comfortable to drive for long distance trips. Its acceleration is great. Internal compartments are well thought out: large glove compartment, deep drivers box, upper compartment, etc. It has the amenities of a luxury car (well, almost). Trip calculator, mp3 port, front and back windshield heater, etc. Mileage, however, is not great for city drive. But with cheap gas prices now, I only spend $26 (it was $55) every 220 miles. For long trips, I could get 330 miles

  Good value & options for the money! - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By KC - March 3 - 7:50 am

  We average 24-25 MPG in mostly city driving, 26-27 on the interstate at approx 73 MPH!! Excellent! We test drove the RAV4 and CRV for comparison. The Rogue rides and drives better. The seats are more comfortable and the ride not as still as the others.

  Rogue Beats the Competition - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By AutoNut134 - February 19 - 12:16 pm

  After exhaustive internet research and several trips to the car dealers and several test drives, I (and my wife) decided that the Rogue simply offered the most bang for the buck. Some of the factors we took into consideration were fuel economy, safety features, trade-in value, and price. The Mariner was excluded because of price and no stability control. The RAV4 was nice but Toyota wouldnt really deal and I didnt like the spare on the outside. The CRV was the closest competitor with good quality and a nice feel. The Roque has plenty of power good fuel econ and high tech toys. This car fit our needs nicely. Easy to drive and park. Has a good quality feel. Traded in an 05 Pathfinder.

  Real Deal on Rogue - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Kevin - January 5 - 7:36 am

  Its a nice vehicle but here are the bad things. Heat takes about 10 minutes til you can turn it on, anytime you turn on the climate controls it defaults to air conditioning (the most annoying feature). If you have the Bo speaker system, your subwoofer is mounted on top of the spare tire, so be prepared to take that off when you are broken down on the side of the road. Other then that I like everything else on the car, I know one review said it doesnt have fog lights but mine does, took me awhile to find them. Headlights are also adjustable if they look dim. Upgraded sound system sounds awesome, and it has XM radio! Dealer, Salesman and bestbuy guy that installed my XM all didnt know it.

  Good Car With Some Cons - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By slcity - December 30 - 11:16 am

  Overall, a very good crossover. Has plenty of power, good seats, and feels substantial. Getting used to the CVT takes some time... to avoid the RPMs going to 3-4K, you have to learn how to accelerate correctly. HUGE blind spots in the back due to the small windows, but the side mirrors are large and seem to help with the blind spots. Keyless start is very nice, along with the Bose audio system & satellite radio. There seems to be a lot of noise in the cabin when accelerating.

  Bad Transmissions - Terrible customer service - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Huzefa Mamoola - December 29 - 12:31 pm

  No Nissans for me again! Rogue CVT Transmission failed at 119K, got it fixed under warranty from the dealer. The car failed in Savannah, GA, 640 Miles from my home. After 1280+ miles of driving to and from Savannah to collect the vehicle, the Nissan 1 rep kept saying that they dont have any policy to at least reimburse me for the rental car for the trip nor even gave me vouchers for future repairs in the vehicle, nor was willing to commit to increasing the warranty period on the new transmission. They stuck to their policy throughout the conversation about not reimbursing anything. No goodwill towards the customer and no regard of what the customer has been through with a transmission failure in a car that I hoped will go at least to 200K miles without major issues. Everything was a No, not in our policy. Nissan, you lost a customer today forever. Adios.

  Sweet Ride - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Squig - December 6 - 10:33 am

  So far it is a great car! My first Nissan, I had a 97 CRV which I totaled, after I drove the Rogue, I looked no further. Just hit 1400 miles, I heard 1300 is break in, so now I can run this baby and see what she has! Quick, sporty comfortable.

  A Solid Choice - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Rick - December 1 - 8:40 pm

  I purchased the Rogue with all the bells and whistles. It has a smooth quiet ride in the city. It could be a little more quiet on the highways, due to noise leaks in the aft. If your looking for a stylish compact SUV this is a good option. You get all, if not most of the features you find on similar vehicles. However, the price is thousands less.

  Great Value - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Great Value - November 17 - 2:23 pm

  Traded 04 Murano with 104k miles Loved the style of the Rogue and the value proposition. 1300 miles in and Im more satisfied with the purchase every day. Drive 25-30k+ annually and feel the Rogue is up to the task
