Bask in it’s glory, ye oppos. It i s silver, it has heated seats, it has self opening trunk, blind spot monitoring etc...
It is silver with a black interior.
At the picturesque Don Pedro Reservoir near Stockton California
It is actually comfortable to drive and has good ergonomics.
It has a very noisy engine >3,000 rpm.
Cruises at 80 no problem.
It has a CVT that acts like a CVT not like a fake CVT.
Best mileage 25 mpg, worst 17 mpg.
Bigly back seats.
Medium sized trunk (same as my 2002 impreza) smaller than my outback.
Decent power.
Very over boosted steering when you are going slow, but feels normal when at speed.
Climate control.
Flat bottom steering wheel.
10/10 would rent again.

awn.......... I was hoping for a v6 mustang or camero on this trip. Oh well.

I had one as a rental when my Saab got totaled. It was very very nice. I got 30-32 MPG commuting to work. There was honestly nothing I could really fault it for. It rode well, handled fine, went fine, got good mileage and was roomy.
I was THIS close to considering buying one but loaded. They really do look nice loaded up.

Nissan seems to get put down on oppo but everyone who rode in or drove the Rogue liked it. The SV is probably the trim I’d get, all the tech and no leather.

Maybe it’s better to drive than to ride in—I was subjected to the back seat of a rental one once, and it was strangely underwhelming. Rattly and harsh engine, whiny CVT, high beltline for a cave-like experience , and flat seats .

This is all true for the Nissan Rogue and the segment of small 5 seat suvs like the rav4/crv/forester...

My gosh, these are EVERYWHERE in my town. There’s three on my street and some dude one street over, just bought one as well. (The fact that the Nissan dealership is a mile from my house, probably d oesn’t help...) I’ve ridden in one and was kinda surprised with what you get for the money though . Loaded ones are very nice, I must say.
