With the demise of the Altima, I can’t wait to watch this fly by me on the freeway sporting a paper tag and spare tire for years to come.

This is my dream car. I finally saved up my $500 dollar down payment (yay!), and Armando said I can pick up my new Rogue with hubby on Tuesday! ("Only the best for Boo!") Armando was so nice he got us the best APR possible at 13%!?! I can't believe I'll be a proud full-owner in 2031! #Blessed #Momstatus #barfbag

I've watched a lot of savagegeese videos but I think this may be the first time I've seen you guys address specific reliability concerns with a vehicle. Given how thorough you are on the design/engineering, I would love to see you guys do more coverage on recalls because you all have a way of explaining things that make it super simple to understand. Keep up the great work!

One of the only car channels that I'll watch a video about a car that I don't like and have never thought about getting one

[briansmithwins]

the other advantage of having multiple Altimas parked in your yard, besides lower taxes, is then you have a ready supply of spare engines and transmissions

Loved that the Murano convertible made a guest appearance

I bought this same vehicle in the same trim, just a different color. Here's a normal boring car person review who doesn't drive fast or drive a lot of cars. I'm comparing this to a 2012 Nissan Altima that I drove for 10 years. Right when I test drove it, I knew I wanted it. To me, it drove like like a 70K Audi. Just so incredibly solid and premium feeling. Also, the inside was like an expensive SUV as well. Again, this compared to a 2012 Nissan. I've never floored my Rogue and rarely go above 50 cause I drive in a city. If you're just going from light to light, it's super peppy. I love cars you don't have to mash the gas to get somewhere. You just touch the gas and it goes. So, I don't notice the CVT cause I don't drive spirited enough to notice. Feels like a normal auto to me. Cause yes, When you floor these cars, they sound like dog shit. So, this review is for the normal boring city drivers who drive slow, play music, and want a premium quiet SUV. I love this SUV

Saw off the roof, install tube frame-FIA cage, add Nismo Stillen Infinity parts, call it a Murano GT-R. ProjectCar

Am in the market for one of these mid size SUVs and you guys nailed it when you said RELIABILITY is by far the #1 priority. One cannot deal with down times in the shop or worse yet leave you stranded on the side of the road. This has to work 24/7 being a family car!

The Rogue has more aluminum in the suspension than a Mustang

I just rented one of these last week, honestly didn’t even notice it was only a 3 cylinder. Seemed very usable to interior and I was impressed with that aspect

[sjm]

I rented one of these for 8 days and without a doubt this is the best vehicle I have ever driven. Super comfortable, spacious, great electronics, great power and super easy on gas!

[yanboa]

Guys, all joking aside, I had one as a rental (of course!) a couple months ago, and I was frankly very impressed. Especially with the hybrid powertrain (which I can't understand why it's not available in North America?!) I can see why this is popular. It's incredibly better than the previous gen, and better than quite a few of its competitors (globally). It's not bad at all.

[LouAntonioGiordano]

My previous co-worker, who was fired at an union job because he couldn’t stop showing up to work high, bought one back in 2021 and immediately sold the wheels for money and got some crappy used steel wheels and tires.
Dude parted out his own brand new car haha.

Nissan's interior designs have be fantastic lately. I just wish they'd stop making unreliable drive trains.

[fadedlogic]

The "Altima Strategy" is brilliant!! I will make sure to place worn temp tags for maximum impact!

My Wife has 2021 Rogue with 40k miles it's great car for around town and actually pulls decent in the mountains on road trips. Her last rouge was a 2014 with 150k miles on it with no issues but we are religious about the maintenance. A lot of ppl hate on these cars but they are actually really nice for the price point.

[miker.]

The thing with the CVT in a Nissan is that you change that transmission fluid at least every 30 to maximum 60k miles. Nissan never tells you not to change it. The manuals only say to inspect but the mechanics will tell you to change it out. I've had 4 Nissans since 2011 and have ran up the odometer as much as 167k on a Maxima and 112k on an Altima and have had zero transmission issues. I think most(not all) of the people that get those issues are ones that are lazy and take the car for granted and don't do anything and wonder why their car breaks down.

I wanted to buy the used slk55 at the local Dodge dealer, but my wife's boyfriend wanted it for himself. so, she told me to buy one of these to take their kids to soccer practice while they go on weekend drives to the new local brewery on the lake. I haven't quite given up on life yet, but I'm getting close so the Rouge is a good fit.

[XennialGuy]

My wife has a 2021 Rogue Platinum with 62k miles in Michigan. Body rot is not a problem, the entire uni-body is aluminum. The SUV only weighs 3400lbs, making it the lightest in it's class. Change the CVT fluid and filters every 50k miles and I don't see why you can't get over 200k miles with these things.
