2018 Nissan Rogue Sport
There’s only one word that I can think of to describe the 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport: “Wow!” I recently had the honor, to drive the 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport to South Padre Island, Texas, courtesy of the Nissan Motor Company.
The trip took place from October 5th, 2018 through October 7th, 2018. My starting destination was San Antonio, Texas and ended in South Padre Island, Texas, approximately 297 miles in length. 
I also had the privilege of staying at the South Padre Island KOA Campground and all of this happened during South Padre Island’s 2018 Sandcastle Days.
