  • For the price, you really cant beat it. - 2011 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    My last few cars have been Hondas but I am partial to staying within the Honda, Toyota, Nissan circuit. With that said, when it came time to look for a compact SUV or Crossover I pretty much had 3 options, the Honda CRV, the Toyota RAV4 or the Nissan Rogue. Hands down the Rogue won after checking them all out. The CRV interior is kind of stark and cold and the seats are incredibly UNcomfortable...and I have a lot to compare them to since I was trading in my 2010 Accord EX-L. The Toyota frankly, was boring! Dollar for dollar the Nissan offered more bang for the buck when it came to comparing all top end packages for all 3. Im very happy with my decision and the COMFY seats of the Rogue.

    Have had my Rogue for a month; just turned 1000 miles. I truly love this car. I did a lot of research and this SUV came out on top. Its beat all my expectations. Drive is smooth, quiet, fun. The technology (bluetooth, nav, rear camera, and more) is over the top. Superb deal. Ive had toyotas and mazda-great cars, but I think Im a Nissan owner from now on.

  • 2500 Mile Mark - Update - 2011 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    After 2500 miles, Im still enjoying my Rogue. Finally getting used to the CVT. It could use a little more power. It scoots around town just fine. Passing and entrance ramps are another story. Maybe with the next re-design, they will address that issue. If they would just figure out a diesel option for this vehicle, the low end torque would be awesome. Ride is just ok for a crossover....many times you can tell youre in an entry level vehicle (although it really doesnt LOOK entry level). I get a lot of complements on it. But you can usually hear and/or feel small road imperfections. Gas mileage has been right around 25mpg (combined city/hwy).

  • What its missing - 2011 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    I bought my car about a month ago and I just hit 1,000 miles. averaging 22.8 MPG and I drive 45 HWY miles to work 5 days aweek. I thought I would get better gas milege... its fun to drive and I love it but it lacks in rear visibility, the backup camera is a MUST, but Its difficult to use if youre not used to it. switching lanes is a challenge as well, a small car would be difficult to see and miss... I hope this gets better the longer I have the car. I would buy this car again.

    Great car! Not too big, not too small. Looks good, drives well, very efficient gas mileage.

  • One of the best I have ever owned! - 2011 Nissan Rogue

    I was looking for a mid priced crossover and decided on the Rogue. I bought the Krom edition and love it.

  • Enjoying the ride - 2011 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    2 1/2 month review. Wasnt sure at first because of vibration at low speeds, which is a fuel saving function of the cvt. After breakin, its much smoother. Love the smooth ride on the highway. One annoying thing, during rain, its noisy, almost like youve left a window open in back. Getting great gas milage. I was careful to follow the break-in suggestions and average over 26 mpg in city, approx 29 hwy. Love the interior. Seats are comfortable. Handles well and is pretty fun to drive. The cargo area is small, but not really an issue since I can lower back seats when I need to carry more stuff. Im happy with my little suv...when its not raining.

  • Rides Like a Dream and Cheap at the Pump - 2011 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    Its now only one week old and I already have 1100 miles on it. Everything about this car has exceeded my wildest expectations, and it took me three months to decide. I needed something larger and more comfortable than my 2009 Elantra Touring without sacrificing much fuel economy or my beloved iPod interface. Well, the fuel economy is even BETTER (27-31 MPG on the highway without poking along), the ride almost feels like a Lincoln Navigator, the road noise is very little (just enough to provide feedback), and the touch screen iPod interface and stereo system is even better than the Hyundai. The back up camera works in reverse gear and is also a great feature. So is the trip computer.

  • Best of the rest - 2011 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    First I am 6 ft 2 inches and fit comfortably in this vehicle, the steering wheel is great and fits in the hand perfect. I also have a Buick enclave at 48k it costs 20k more but the Nissan is the car I drive every day. The nav is fantastic, response is precise and exact. While the enclave is my luxurious ride I must say I wished I saved the 20k and bought two of these. This is the best all around car in its class and a deal for the price.

  • Nissan Rogue Rocks - 2011 Nissan Rogue
    By -

    I have only had my Rogue for a couple weeks, but am extremely pleased with the comfort and ease of handling. I was worried because Ive never driven a larger vehicle, but the Rogue is easier than my cars which included Mazdas & Fords. Mine has the backup map which I love and the SV package. Love this vehicle and highly recommend it. I drove 130 miles before the gas measure moved off full!
