I am confused between Mazda CX5 2016 and Nissan Rogue SL 2016. Anyone here had any good or bad experiences with Nissan Rogue SL?
You should drive both. All of the handful of Nissans I've had have been excellent vehicles. I did not like the Rogue as much as I liked the CX-5, but Nissan sells many more than Mazda sells CX-5s, so it can't be too bad. The biggest reason I didn't buy a Rogue was the CVT it has. It's odd to drive and is still too prone to premature failure, though Nissan is extending the warranty to cover them.
And now I find CX-5s are having transmission issues.

There is not a car model out there that hasn't had at least a small number of transmission failures. Fortunately, the CX-5 ranks very low on the list.
I know someone that just bought a brand new Rogue. Honestly like the look of it, but that's it. He got a dreadful 10L/100km (23.5mpg) on the highway. I was in shock when I heard that.
Yep, same here. Something is missing!! It's like a cross between luxury and really low-end car. I couldn't put my finger on it, but if forced I will use what Mike had mentioned in another forum on a different topic: Didn't put a smile on my face!My sister-in-law bought a new Rogue about 6 months ago. I took it for a very short drive and decided almost immediately that it would not be on my short list of cars to consider. There was something about it that really turned me off. The CVT was part of the problem, but the car just didn't feel well put together. These feelings are purely subjective, but I'm not going to buy a car that I don't feel good about.
How true it is and actually Nissan sold 175,740 units more, or 2.58 times more, of Rogues than CX-5s in 2015! The VP of Nissan U.S. sales will get a biggest bonus check he'd ever got! The Rogue is Nissan's second-best selling model in the U.S., just after the Altima, and it's made right here in Tennessee. Nissan Rogue is the automotive industrys unsung hero as in 2015, U.S. sales were 287,190, up a whopping 44.17% over 2014! Here are the sales figures of top-four compact CUVs in the U.S. since 2013 when Mazda started to sell CX-5 in the U.S.:You should drive both.

Interestingly enough ford and Mazda must still have a partnership. When I was under the car changing the oil I saw some parts with a "FoMoCo" badge on it. Ford motor company.

Personally we didn't consider the Nissan Rogue when we purchased our CX-5 is because Rogue has CVT. But there must be something special for Nissan Rogue to attract so many new customers in a record pace since its redesign in 2014! Nissan definitely hit a homerun on Rogue!
