"I have only owned my rogue for a week, but so far I really like it. It is the first suv I have owned and it was easy to adapt to it. Acceleration noise is a bit loud but once you get to speed it is fine. The seats and interior are comfortable. After looking at the RAV-4 and CRV, the rogue is a great small SUV for the money."

"I bought this car new 2 years ago, mainly because I needed an AWD hatchback, got over-charged by dealer, and found the car, while it is a real "power-house" car on the highway, it was just too bulky and cumbersome for me in the city. Lacked: outside temp guage, took forever to warm up, and interior just so-so. I never knew how much space it was taking up, constantly scraping fenders, and running over corner curbs. Also, not so great mileage. After 2 years I got fed up with trying to handle it, and traded it for a 2011 (other make and model) (which I really love!)"

"After leasing various Jeep models for over 10 years, deceided to downsize our SUV and after many test rides in competitor's models choose the 2009 Nissan Rogue. Loved the styling, the CVT transmission was unique (took a little getting used to), gas mileage was decent for an SUV (compared to the Jeeps) and overall it was a good little SUV. It also holds it's value. Turned the vehicle in 5 months early as a trade in and was credited with about $1400.00 above the lease closeout. I don't think that happens with most leases. We enjoyed a good experience with that Rogue."

"Gets good highway milage 30, city about 22. If u tow a 6x12 duel axle enclosed trailer...expect 11mph(dont recommend this cause its hard on the car. Only complaint is it gets confused on take offs now and then(sometimes to take off u have to floor it sometimes u don't. I'm blaming it on the CVT transmission. Oh and one other thing I absolutly hate is that you can't keep AWD locked in even when u hit the button. It desides when it wants to kick out....could b 60 mph, 40mph....it varies and upsets me off when I want to keep it engaged for snow cover road decents."

"I bought this Rogue used with 23,000 miles. It is very comfortable. I have taken it on many long road trips with a bad back and never had pain. It has a sleek design and very nice interior. This is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. My only complaint would be no power when you need it to pass other cars on the highway. Also at times the keyless start won't work and I need to hunt my keys down, otherwise I love it and would recommend it everyone. The gas mileage is very good."

"Myu wife and I looked at many crossovers, drove a whole bunch. Found this pre-owned Rogue. Drove it and found it to be fun, easy on gas, San Antonio to Corpus Christi, 30mpg!! I put on wider profile tires and that made a grewat difference in handling and road holding. The interior is roomy, out 2 Beagles love riding in the back seat, pleanty of room with them and going to the beach gear. Response when I floor it is great for the 4cyl banger, gearing is the trick, no stupid paddles. We added the sunroof, done very professionally and blue-tooth, this was aS model. We both would recommend the Rogue to anyone who asks."

"The 2009 Nissan Rogue we purchased to use as our family car for our first baby has proven to be a better-than-expected performer in every aspect. We purchased the Rogue after conducting careful research on various makes & models in the small/compact SUV segment and decided to go with the Rogue despite it being a 2nd or 3rd best performer in various car reviews. Due to it's price/performance combination versus competitors, we were satisfied with buying the 2nd best in it's class. The Rogue's interior is simple but functional and the materials used are good quality (we have the entry level trim package). The Rogue's acceleration is good considering that it comes with a 4 cylinder 170 HP engine; with Overdrive on it responds well when pushed but it will feel like a 170 HP SUV versus a 200 HP SUV. Gas mileage is excellent as we've been averaging about 23 mpg combined from the 17.50 gallon tank. Handling feels good for an SUV but it definitely isn't a high performance sports car so when pushed around a curve at higher than recommended speeds it feels a bit unstable. Road noise inside the car is moderate to minimal. Engine noise is virtually non-existent except when making quick accelerations. Overall the Rogue has proven to be a comfortable, reliable, and enjoyable car to use as our family car."
