Anyone here own one of these? Any good/bad reviews?

I am in the market for a pre owned suv/crossover and these seem to be great value in that segment.

Any info is appreciated!

Have had one for two years. It's great. And yeah it was cheap. Got the SV brand new for less than 25 Out the door.
No issues. We'll be upgrading to the armada as the kids grow up.

I have one now. a 2017. Got it around 28 when all was said and done.

It's a nice vehicle. Not luxury but gets me where I want to go .

Got 23,000 miles on it. Have had no issues with it so far.

Not sure if you're using it to haul kids around in or anything, I have none of those so I can't speak to that .

I wish they wouldn't have quit making the Xterra, that's the vehicle I really wanted

I had my wife in one for a few years. It was fine but had a cheap noisy ride. It was very reliable though. Not a bad car but the market is saturated with good crossover suvs. Set a day aside and pick three or four to drive. You can get almost all of them well equipped and out the door for 25-30k. Happy shopping.

I was surprised how reliable it was for a "cheap" suv.

My GF has a 2015 that I drive occasionally. Solid vehicle, plenty of room to store a few suitcases and other items and hit the road for the weekend. The 2nd row of seating is a little cramped from what I hear (I never sit back there). Ride could be better but during a few 5-6 hour road trips I never felt uncomfortable. I put it in Eco mode and sticking close to the speed limit you can get close to 30 MPG between city and highway driving combined. She hasn't had any problems or issues with it that I know of either.

Overall, I think it's a solid SUV.

I have a 2011 and as others have said it is cheap and noisy. However, it is extremely reliable and gets me from A to B which is all I really needed when I bought it. However, I wish the trade in value was higher as I'm going to trade it in on a truck, but it has been a great little vehicle.

- mine feels cheap because i have the lowest trim package so there are no bells and whistles.

It's a Nissan so it has a soul sucking continuously variable transmission. Only buy this as a last resort, after you've eliminated the crossovers from other manufacturers.

My impression after a test drive a few years ago. Also test drove a Ford Escape from that same category and price range and was much more impressed with it. Not sure on its reliability though.

My company car is a 2018 Rogue. It’s the worst vehicle I’ve ever driven. Too slow to get out of its own way. The CVT transmission will actively try to kill you at least once a day. The brakes are terrible and the suspension is so soft it seems like a rollover is imminent.

Terrible, soulless car. If that’s your thing then go for it. I’d like to jump mine off the MS river bridge.

My wife had a first generation Rouge with all of the amenities. It was a great car, but we did have to spend some repair money on it after 7 or 8 years with about 130K miles on it. I'm sure it has improved since 06 or 08 when they first came out.

My wife has a 2015 Rogue SL great little car for what it is.

I preferred it over the others in its class. However I had a rental that was a new Murano SL and I will say that car although just slightly different in style is much more solid feeling. I would probably spend a little more and get that car if I were doing it all over today. Otherwise have no complaints about the Rogue.

Love it. I kept my 2002 xterra with 220K miles as my "beater" car. That thing is bulletproof.
