Nissan Rogue ranks high in the class of compact affordable SUVs!The car has a sporty feel about it,steering is great, and drive is smooth,best on highways! It's base price is good and affordable..The controls are nice and functional and of high utility!Also as there is no available optional third row seater, the Nissan Rogue is much more spacious than the other cars of its class,such as Toyota RAV4! Also the materials used for the interiors are really classy and the upholstery used for the interiors , cushioning of seats is just fabulous!
