Nissan Rogue is one of the top sellers in the compact SUV market right now, and for good reason.
Also, I think the CVT's can be very reliable if maintained properly. I have a 2010 Maxima with the CVT and it has been dead reliable. Changed CVT fluid at 59k miles, did it myself, easiest fluid change I've ever done apart from washer fluid lol. Obviously I can't tell the future, but hoping it will remain as trouble free for the life of the vehicle. But with how easy it was to change, I will be doing it every 50k miles.
