I'm not sure what I was thinking when I took this car. They offered me a brand new Fusion, but I guess I thought a small CUV would be fun. I was wrong.
This car is boring to look at, boring to drive, and an overall disappointment. It features a CVT transmission. I'm no CVT hater and I've heard that Nissan's CVT is pretty good, but I cannot agree. It feels like your driving through sludge. It has a wishy-washy character that is almost unsettling. I'm not going to waste a lot more time. This is not a car for an enthusiast. One thing I did get to experience was a flat tire. It is my first flat on a rental in over 20 years.
About that Jelly Donut. I would much rather have had one, or maybe a trendy Cronut. As donuts go this one wasn't too horrible, though I made a beeline for the airport and just turned the car in. I'd had quite enough of the Rogue.

How could it not be fun? It's the fastest car...in the WORLD.

When we were shopping for the Juke, we were going to try out the Rogue too. My partner thought it was too soccer-mom-ish, so he never even tried it. Probably a good thing.

Agreed. The Juke has to be better. It looks cool and has a turbo charged engine.

The turbo lag is pretty bad, but after it passes it launches you into the future. Pretty fun!
