My wife drives a 2012 Rogue....we bought it new and it has 104k on it now. Good solid car but its noisy as heck inside. The Disco puts it shame ride wise also.

 

I've put several NV desert runs in, around 1200 mile round trips, half of that is off road in the middle of nowhere. I like a rig that can do 70 mph on a gravel road stable (if you want), and also crawl the bumpy old wagon roads with all your gear.

 

haha... this story made me laugh Had a rental Rogue last year in England (called the Qashqai over there) and drove it down to Cornwall where there are tight, hedgerow lined lanes. I'm sure there is some way to turn off some of the safety features but good god, that car drove me crazy. At the time I had been driving my Rover daily for 10 years and was used to simplicity. By the end of the trip I was a bundle of nerves from all of the beeping (parking next to fishing nets, tight lanes, etc) that I named it the 'car from hell'. This past January we had a Renault with assisted steering of some sort where it pushed you back into your lane if you got near the center line. The lights dimmed automatically as well when an oncoming light was detected. It had quirks haha. Give me my Rover any day although right now I can't even drive it to the end of the drive lol....guess you could say I'm holding out for my feel good story

 

Yeah the next person that relies on that stuff to drive is in for a surprise! I disabled about 50% of it thru the menu’s when you are parked. It’s not an extremely bad little SUV, but the road noise is nasty & if there is the slightest breeze you will be tossed around. I do like whipping into parking spaces as it’s so tiny, but before I disabled some stuff it just beeped & beeped or tried to steer for you. I do like the rear cargo layout & the steering wheel feels nice.

The heated cloth seats remind me more of a warm fart stuck in a pair of blue jeans vs how a heated leather seat feels. My wife made fun of my comment, so she tried it & just bursted out laughing. She said yep you described it perfectly lol.
