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

  Fun Car, Love It, but Not Perfect - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By daytrippr - August 18 - 9:53 am

  I have to admit, the Rogue is probably one of the funniest cars to drive on the road today. It handles well around turns, in snow, and with crosswinds. With its great stability, I dont worry about tipping over. I cannot emphasize how well it does on gas mileage in this day of high gas prices. The Bose system (premium pkg) is well worth the extra price. It is comfortable on long drives and a joy to have and own. I cant wait to drive it every day.

  I love it. Its the perfect car for the city goer by week, adventurer by weekend. Great mileage, easy to move in and out of lanes in NYC, super smooth ride, etc. I couldnt ask for anything more!

  Love Car... without the problems! - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By MYCAR - July 29 - 7:43 am

  We purchased this vehicle in Jan after searching for many months. Had a 6 cyl Ford Windstar minivan, and wanted SUV style w/o the high cost and poor gas milage. After 3300 miles, like other reviewers began hearing rattling noice in driver front side, as well as hesitation when accelerating. Brought back in at 8500 miles, and was told need new transmission! They have had to replace others. I just got the car back 3 days ago, and it STILL hesitates, however rattling is gone, for now. Loved this car, however not sure if its going to last me many more years. Dont roll down the 2 back windows, as air pressure/noise is terrible.

  I love my new Rogue! - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By bbcatz - July 28 - 4:40 pm

  I took delivery of my Rogue last Saturday and took it on its first road trip (340 mi.) the next day. I love it!!! I had leather seat covers put in my SL and I couldnt be happier with the way it looks. Its so comfortable to drive. All my previous cars have been 2 door, this is my first 4 door car and its awesome! I cant believe I drove all these years and raised 2 sons with 2 door cars all this time. I purchased the indigo blue color and its just beautiful. This is just a happy little SUV and Im very pleased with it so far. Ive only had it a week.

  HeLLOOOOO Nissan- Can you hear us? - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Anne Luchetti - July 26 - 9:08 am

  I have same frustration and negative review of CVT as most owners here...I have owned this vehicle from 0 to current 128,000 miles. I had NO indication of a problem with the transmission. Yesterday I got in the car, put the car in gear and it will not move. Like it is in neutral. The engine just raced. Towed to Nissan. Service manager says "its your trannie--it will be $3,952 to install a rebuilt one." Seriously! Dealer said that was the best he could do. How can there be so many problems with this particular CVT Transmission and Nissan not have a better plan to deal with this particular defect. I then had it towed to a transmission shop....since it is NOT covered under warranty anyhow I am going to give them a shot. At least they are offering a 12 month warranty on their job! When you take care of your vehicle It should not fail in this manner.

  I love this crossover! - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Amanda - July 19 - 9:36 pm

  I love the styling and the interior space of the Rogue, from the outside you think, wow, I dont know if that is big enough and then you sit down on the inside and you think where the heck did all this space come from!! I love all of the spacial features, nooks and pockets galore. I will say the CVT takes a bit of getting used to. I instinctively tune into the engine and I know when my car goes to the next gear, but in this car theres no pause or shift to the next gear. Its really cool, just unusual. The stability bars in the front and rear give excellent cornering and turning abilities.

  The best smaller SUV on the market now! - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By tsar1269 - July 17 - 8:56 pm

  I purchased the AWD SL version in black with a black leather interior. I added all the bells and whistles as options to the car and it rocks! When I went to pick it up in the showroom, there was a crowd of people surrounding it. It is a show stopper! My favorite thing with this car is the bluetooth integration. I love being able to make calls from the car thru voice activation. It has never confused a command I speak or get a number wrong when I speak to it. The leather interior is flawless. You have as much leg room in the back seat as the front. I also love the fact that the glove box is big enough for a laptop if you so wish.

  OMG What have I done! - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Dawn B - June 24 - 9:46 am

  I have had my Rogue for 2 weeks! It has been in the shop twice and I have to bring it in again and leave it for a day and a half. 2 days after buying it the AC died and turned into heat that still came through the vents when off and this was during a heat wave! Then the tire function light came on, then the rattle under the driver side when I start it. Called the dealership, brought it in. (I live over an hour away- my stupidity) The tech came out after 2 hours of waiting to tell me they figured out what was wrong but the parts wouldnt be in for a couple days. Now there is another noise from the CVT, it hesitates on acceleration and is wheezing. Thank God my husband is paranoid and we bought the extra coverage. So what do we do? Havent even made a payment yet! I am disabled and we traded my Rav for the Rogue~ I drive to PT twice a week, an hour each way. I need a dependable vehicle that im not going to get heatstroke in while driving. I live in Mass so I have the Lemon law on my side to a point. Im going through all the complaints, making a list, checking recalls, making sure they have been taken care of against my vehicle. When I go in to drop it off I will be armed with all this info and just may demand another vehicle. I should of checked here before shopping, Im so P/Od!

  Completely Satisfied - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Alexsh - June 23 - 11:33 pm

  Ive purchased Rogue 6 weeks ago as my wife commute car, but prefer to drive it myself to complete break in and check out vehicle performance. And I like to tell you that Im absolutely satisfied with my purchase. It performs like a charm. The fuel consumption is top notch. Im managing 28.7 mph average for last 600 miles. My commute is 80%/20% including multiple stop and go at rush hours. Internal design is perfect, comfortable seats, nice dash, and good quality material. Everything works perfectly. I highly recommended it to any one.

  Another Nissan - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By fourth Nissan - June 1 - 3:20 am

  This is my fourth Nissan vehicle. I previously owned an Altima 3.5 v6 and loved the drive. I wanted better gas mileage, AWD and an overall vehicle style change. I loved the look of the Rogue and although I was not sure about the power (2.5) I could not resist the overall interior and exterior quality and extras that were offered. I purchased the Rogue SL AWD leather package and absolutely LOVE the drive. The pickup is smooth and responsive and surprisingly I do not miss the V6 at all! Gas mileage is great for my lengthy commute, not to mention satellite radio to make my ride that much enjoyable. My husband finds the vehicle roomy, and theres plenty of space in the back for my 2yr old toddler
