    I purchased a 2016 Nissan Rogue SL AWD with the premium package and love it. It is very fuel efficient, drives smooth, holds the road and corners excellent for this class SUV. Comes with a ton of tech and safety features for the money. Great value. Would definitely buy again.

  • Adequate but disappointing; not a CR-V/RAV4 beater - 2016 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    I bought a 2016 Rogue SL AWD with Premium Package. I sold the Rogue to a Honda dealership five days after I picked it up and bought a CR-V Touring instead. I bought the Rogue because I wanted a blind spot monitor and the forward collision warning/brake assist. I also thought the Around View Monitor would be great to have. Although I thought about other higher-end small SUVs like the upper-trim CR-V and Toyota RAV-4, it seemed like a no-brainer to go with the Nissan because of its more aggressive aesthetic and the fact that you can (and I did) buy a top-of-the-line model for around $26,000 sticker price before taxes and fees, $5-6 k less than youd pay for the others. I liked it during the test drive. I liked it far less once I started driving it 60 miles roundtrip to work two days later. The pros: nice styling, nice materials inside, sliding and reclining rear seat, the Around View Monitor system is FANTASTIC and I wish every car had it, blind spot monitor works well (though the audible warning isnt loud enough to be heard at highway speeds or with the radio on), beautiful dash, a lot of customizable features and settings, gorgeous panoramic moonroof, useful electric lift gate, intuitive infotainment system, and, of course, the very reasonable price. Unfortunately, the cons outweighed these by a lot. First and foremost, the forward collision warning/automatic braking feature did not work. At all. Utterly useless. I took it back to the dealer, which told me everything was "to spec" and my expectations for the system were too high. I said thats fine, but in that case let me take the car for a spin with a Nissan technician who can show me how it works. Which I did. And to the technicians embarrassment, he could not get it to work either and could not explain why, though he did admit that the system as presently constituted was "pretty much useless." I took the car to another, more reputable Nissan dealership 40 miles away, and the very honest service director there told me that hes been getting a lot of complaints from Rogue owners about the same system, and Nissan hasnt come up with a fix yet, let alone acknowledge the problem. That really turned me off to the car, because you dont want to feel like a sucker making monthly payments on a car in which not everything functions properly -- especially something thats advertised as a crucial safety feature that can protect you and your children riding in the back seat. Besides that, the highway MPG was lower than advertised; the acceleration was lousy, even in "sport" mode; the brakes didnt feel powerful enough; the CVT was noisy and idiosyncratic; you could barely feel the seat-heaters; the engine was too loud and whined at highway speeds; the Moving Object Detection system wasnt sensitive and didnt detect half the moving objects that passed the car -- or detected them too late; the steering at low speeds was rough and annoying; there wasnt nearly enough room for my legs (Im 61") and I couldnt find a comfortable position in my seat; there was no automatically dimming rearview mirror despite this being the "top-of-the-line" trim, which makes you feel like you got ripped off; not all of the window buttons on the drivers side are illuminated, which also makes the car feel cheap; and the center console, though it has room for two average size cups, is otherwise useless if you want to lay something flat on it like a cell phone. I knew I would feel like a chump if I kept this car and that I had to sell it before I put any more mileage on it. I went to a bunch of dealers -- Toyota, Honda, Hyundai -- and test drove their compact SUVs. I ultimately bought a CR-V; the Honda dealership bought the Rogue from me. I didnt like the CR-Vs styling as much as I liked the Rogues -- but I liked everything else more. (And in fairness, I miss the Around View Monitor, and always will. Its so cool.) Since my first priority is safety, I have to praise the Hondas Sensing package, which has adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, and a forward collision warning/automatic braking feature that actually works. The engine is peppier and quieter, the ride is better insulated from road noise, the brakes are more powerful, its easier to fold down the rear seats, the infotainment system is more confusing but has more options as well, the steering is secure and well-balanced, the seat heaters really warm you, the keyless entry system is more advanced, and overall it just feels like a higher quality car -- I dont feel like Honda cut any corners or ripped me off on anything to save a buck (e.g., forward collision warning, automatic dimming rearview mirror). I realize that the CR-V trim I ultimately purchased was more expensive than the Rogue. However, you can get a CR-V for roughly the same price as the Rogue with all of these features except navigation and active safety. Do your homework before buying!

  • Rogue all the way!!!!! - 2016 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    Purchased the SV AWD model and despite what some reviewers say, its the best car I ever owned. I also leased a Toyota Rav-4 the same time I purchased the Nissan Rogue and the Rogue is so much better. Its larger, more comfortable, and overall a better handling car than the Toyota. Its a 4 cylinder vehicle that rides as good as a V6

  • AWESOME!!!! - 2016 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    Here are other other SUVs I tested: Mazda CX-5 - Ok but you can actually tell from the slope of the roof that the rear seats are going to be very tight. My 13 yo 5-8" daughter just could not fit comfortably. RAV4- Sloping rear roof line means same rear seating issue with Mazda CX-5 - though a bit less cramped. Hyundai Santa Fe Sport - actually better than Toyota and Mazda and NIssan because it is roomier, has the most bang for the buck (turbo-charged for the same class!!)....would have been my choice but quality of interior materials are below of Japanese brands. Overall with performance and power being equal, Nissan Rogue has the best Exterior Design, Interior in terms of quality, roomiest Front and Rear seats, largest cargo volume.

  • My Second Rogue - 2016 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    I had 2009 Rogue before it got hit for the 2nd time and it was totalled. Decided to get 2016 Rogue and I love it! The whole exterior and interior are completely upgraded from 2009. The 2016 feels very comfortable, just like 2009, maybe better! Wish the road noise was better (same as 2009). Not sure if this is right, but it feels like the 2009 Rogues acceleration was better than 2016! Yes, I remember it is a 4-cylinder, but my 2009 was awesome and felt so good when I hit the gas pedal. It feels like theres a lot more resistant on 2016 when I hit the gas pedal. Other than that, I LOVE all the safety features that 2016 has.

  • Satisfaction - 2016 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    I am impressed with the gas mileage. I have owned the Rogue since August 2016. So far, I average 27 city and 36 highway. Driving seat is comfortable but I would like another 2 inches of leg room. Plenty of head room. Storage space is ample. Wish they had a sunroof for the base model S. Still figuring out all of the electronics and the weather hasnt allowed me to test winter traction. Speakers are weak but this is a base model. Would highly recommend as a cheap all-wheel drive that is predominantly front wheel drive. Nissan wins with this one.
