Anyone on here have one yet?
I don't...just curious who has gotten one.

Just my opinion but I wish they had given a better engine than the 2.5...

We own one, and it is a great car! From the CVT , and intelegent key, to the AWD and the sunroof, nothing but Nissan quality! And, you really don't need more power.... the engine has more than enough power to fill the needs... There are only a few things I personally would like to see...1. Fuel Filler on the drivers side, with remote release from inside the car; 2. Power seat for the passenger; 3. Auto on/off headlamps; 4. Auto Locking doors when you place the car in drive..... Other than these wish items, I have no complants, and, so far, around town we have been getting 28.6 mpg..... Not bad!!

Hi Everyone,

I just picked up my Rogue SL AWD (what the heck is a slawd?), premium package, Gotham Gray... enough descriptions??? I've got ~200 snowy, icy, northeast miles on it and so far all is well, no complaints... other than the roadsalt and my dirty snowy footprints.

I have not bought one yet. Like almost everything, except the blind spots. That's a real killer when backing up. Wondering how the owners here are adjusting to that. It looks great, but I wish they would have made those rear side windows larger.

Balberts

Yeah... those upswept rear side windows and that high & tiny back window make for some interesting backing up. I'm not completely used to that yet. Verryyy Slooooowwwwwly. I don't really notice a problem with it in traffic... changing lanes... it's mostly the close quarters maneuver attempts when I feel like getting out of the vehicle for a better look. You could always install a back-up assist camera, some curb feelers, and several layers of Northern Quilted toilet paper. That should do it.

Good visibility is so important. I'm afraid it may be a deal breaker for me. Many of the magazine/TV reviewers also mention it. I bet we'll see a design change in the future. We often park in an underground garage. Lot of concrete pillars. I'm worried.

But, going back to the dealer again this afternoon. I really like everything else.

l.c

Well, unfortunately.........................

I just can't do it. Been back looking and test driving several times. Had a great offer. The design of the rear windows is just not acceptable. To me and my wife. Just no good. Too bad.

Looking at some of the competition now.

I got my Rogue last Saturday and the backing up gets easier every time.

ROGUES UNITE!

I will be taking my Pathfinder out behind the barn later this year and I'm trying to find a suitable replacement. The Rogue has been on my list since it came out but I'm still not convinced it's my best option.

My wife won't drive it very often but she is concerned about the visibility issues. How bad are the blind spots? I'm a contortionist when it comes to looking for blind spots but she isn't. Still I think it's a good option for me.

What I'm most concerned about is the winter driving. It doesn't get too terrible here but I've found myself on some very icy roads from time to time without the benefit of AWD. I've pretty savvy with an automatic transmission and FWD though so I don't know if the AWD really has any benefit over the FWD version.

Get up and go is another questionable aspect. I'm currently driving an 06 Pathy with is quite a fire breather. How well does the Rogue merge and pass?

Thanks everybody.

Rouge Payne

hey man, for me the blind spots are not to bad. Plus the car is great in the snow and it merges and passes decently well.

I am in the market this May for a new car. I am looking at the Rogue and the CR-V. I really like the looks of the Rogue. Anyone have any thoughts on the two vehicles. I am going to get the SL version with the leather and moonroof package. What about the CVT engine.

NALtech

The CVT is good in theory, I've seen 100's go bad 90% of the transmissions we install are CVT's. If you have one take good care of it. I'm not a fan of the rogue, too under powered for a mini suv. IMO.

Teddy 57

Both the Rogue and the CR-V have similar size engines. Are they both under powered? I take it you work for Nissan. I like the looks of the Rogue but would you suggest I buy something different.

NALtech

I haven't seen too many of them come in as compared to everything else. Your best bet would be to go to the dealers and ask the tech's who have been there the longest as for as the most common problems and reliability issue's.
