2013 Nissan Rogue SUV SV 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
In one word: Practical
 Update: Owned for 4 years.  No major issues.  Still happy with my purchase, but have had some minor issues.  Original OEM Continental tires all dry rotted; replaced.  (Another Rogue owner I know had the same issue.)  CVT transmission hasn't failed, but since day 1 it has definitely struggled gaining torque on hills and when turning into high-speed traffic (a bit dangerous).  GPS mapping system is a joke; the map display is good, but navigation and touch screen are much worse than map app on smartphone.  Air bag light comes on occasionally when the system detects a child in the passenger side, but there's nothing there (a known Nissan glitch).  Having been following a good maintenance schedule (oil changes, battery replacement, coolant flush, etc.), it's been running very good with no major issues.  Has handled very well in both extreme hot and cold weather.------------------------This is my first SUV, and is also my first CVT transmission vehicle.  Coming from a V8 engine with automatic trans, it took a little time getting used to the gearless shifting and lack of instant pick-up.  However, I'm a huge fan now.  The fuel savings really adds up!  It drives just as well now that I've gotten the feel of how to accelerate smoothly with the CVT.  Haven't had any of the CVT issues that seemed to plague older Nissan models.  However it does struggle on hills.  You must pay attention to the RPMs to avoid overstressing it; it's not hard to do.  Plenty of interior space to haul foldable furniture, etc.  Maintenance is a breeze.  For a 4-cyl, it has decent power!  Handling is good; the AWD and ABS kick in when necessary.  Avg. 1000 miles/mo. city.
