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.

  Happy Roguer - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Roguer - November 8 - 8:26 pm

  The Rogue is great vehicle. Comfortable ride, great engine responds. Superior Bose audio. Very easy to drive. The car gives feeling that you drive car of 21st century, very quiet inside. Ergonomic dashboard and on board computer give me filing like Im a spaceship pilot. It is pleasant to drive this new toy.

  FIRST SUV AND LOVIN IT - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By MARLCARL - November 7 - 6:30 am

  We are senior citizens and bought this car for the ease of getting in and out and wanted to sit up a bit higher when driving. This car surprised us with how much fun it is to drive. It is very smooth handling and so far great on gas, getting the 27 mpg it was said to get. It feels like you are driving a much smaller car. We had a Honda Accord before and this one handles much nicer believe it or not. You will not be sorry if you buy this car. You will love it.

  Update on 2008 Rogue - BAD!!!!! - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By tamoshanter55 - October 31 - 4:00 am

  OK...so heres my update on my 2008 Rogue, SL AWD, since 2010. a year and a half ago the CVT transmission went out. although Nissan extended the warranty on it to 120,000, it happened at 124k and they wouldnt replace it. ok, so i paid almost $5000 to replace it. then last month, at 185,000, the timing chain broke. mechanic said that he could go into it and replace it about $2000-$3000, but if he went in and found the teeth broken on the gears, or any other damage that could have happened, then the engine would have to be replaced at about $5000. needless to say, i decided to throw in the the towel and not put any more into it.

  I love Nissan!! - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Sarah - October 22 - 3:53 pm

  I bought the Rogue when it first came out. I have been researching crossovers for the last year or so and for the money, the Rogue was the best deal. I couldnt ask for anything better as far as gas mileage goes. I average about 26 city and 30 highway. I love the amount of room in the back seats. Im 511(with most of that being legs) and for once my knees arent up to my chin while riding. Love the exterior and CVT. I really think I got the best deal for my buck and wouldnt trade my Rogue for anything! Except for maybe a new Rogue.

  A Process of Elimination - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By kim - October 20 - 8:26 am

  I wanted a vehicle that was under $30k and gas mileage of 25 mpg+. Checked the Saturn Vue, Honda CRV, Toyota Rav4 and Ford Edge. All nice cars. But the Rogues design won me over. Its very sporty and I get a lot of compliments. The CVT is smooth. I do worry about the transmission problems Ive read other people are having. The black leather seating is luxurious. I have averaged 26.3 mpg for 5 fill ups so far. Im 62 and have plenty of room. I wish it had a telescoping steering wheel so I dont have to stretch my arms out all the time. I have driven a suv for 14 yrs and the Rogue is the quietest vehicle I have been in by far. I cant hear the engine.

  Love this car! - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By lgova - September 1 - 4:06 am

  I had an 94 Mazda 626 to replace. Drove past the Nissan dealer and stopped in to look at Rogue from TV ad. Test drove the vehicle and WOW, I bought the thing. Have an SL AWD with all options. I mocked the SUV crowd before but this is great vehicle. Live in Minnesota, but even when below zero and city driving, was getting 21-22 MPG. Got 28 on trip across Wisconsin. I think in warmer weather will see MPG go up. Very comfortable. Not one defect have I found to go back to dealer with. Very stable on snowy streets.

  Piece of non USA junk - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Frank - July 31 - 5:13 pm

  Terrible design Nissan, my step sons vehicle, real dad bought it for him, cheap, piece of crap, both him and the vehicle, 135,000 miles paid $7000 for it, a little over a year and subframe bushings on front end bad, cant fix because Nissan parts everywhere dont sell bushings separate from subframe so have to replace the entire subframe for the price of, wait for it, $1200!!!! That doesnt include labor! What a stupid idea! Good luck if you buy this junk vehicle!

  Great Vehicle! - 2008 Nissan Rogue
  By Kerry - July 12 - 10:16 am

  Wanted to get a 4 cylinder (traded in my Explorer) for the economy, and wasnt sure how I would adapt, but its working out WAY beyond all expectations! Im amazed at how quickly I am adapting. Shes full of pep and as smooth a ride as you could possibly hope for. Doesnt feel small at all, but its on a Sentra platform! Quite honestly, I actually look forward to the drive to and from work since I picked up my Rouge! Thanks Nissan!
