We don’t need to tell you (but we will anyways): SUVs are swallowing the automotive market. While the first-generation Nissan Rogue is not as refined a product as the generation that followed it, for those who want an uneventful ownership experience from a vehicle that won’t cost an arm and a leg, the Japanese automaker’S compact crossover is a worthy choice.

“The Nissan Rogue is a fun-to-drive compact SUV that provides a good ride, decent space and 4-cylinder frugalness to small families looking for something bigger than a hatchback and smaller than a minivan. It's got a few shortcomings, but nothing that would prevent you from appreciating its qualities.”
