 I was a happy owner a 2012 Rogue S for a couple years. I kinda wished I had a backup camera on it. So when the last of the 2016 line came out and I saw the deals being offered I knew it was time to trade up. The SV trim had everything I wanted and more. Bluetooth, Backup camera, even more storage capability than in the previous generation Rogue. I'm pleasantly impressed with the new electronics, individual air presssure tire sensors and the moveable and tilt back seats. My friends like e drink holder! I'm most impressed with the quiet ride and the brighter headlights.  I've owned  2004 and 2006 Altima S as well as the 2012 Rogue S and I'm very familiar and happy with the 2.5 L engine that all those cars had. It's plenty peppy for highway and city driving. I know I can put 100,000 plus miles easy on it without a problem. If I needed a bigger engine I would just get a Pathfinder or Murano. The AWD on the 2012 never failed me in the WV winters. I expect this Compact SUV to perform in the winter weather just as well. I don't need to tow a trailer and I could care less about doing burnouts these days.  If you are such a gear head that you want to feel a transmittion that shifts from every gear, then maybe a CVT isn't for you. Give me the higher gas mileage and comfortable ride. The NASA inspired driver's seat with the lunar support and electronic positioning is awesome. I'm a satisfied Nissan owner.
