2011 Nissan Rogue consumer reviews

I had been wanting this car for awhile. I really liked the body style. After driving it I liked the way it handled. I've only had it 2 months but so far so good.

all great. only negative comment is that interior needs more storage for little stuff. love the 30 mpg and overall handling for an suv.

One year update, I bought a 2011 Rogue SL AWD last September and to date have over 20,000 miles. So far so good. No complaints. Car has been very reliable and has a very low cost to maintain. Gas mileage is still over 26 mpg combined city and highway. You just can't beat this car.

This car has an extremely smooth ride and handles well. The gas mileage is as promised. Great finish, inside and out. Excellent GPS system. Very comfortable seats. Minor inconveniences are the complex headlights and windshield wiper systems and a horn that needs great force in order to operate. The only major drawback is the enormous blind spot that makes changing lanes and backing up a challenge. Even the rear camera does not quite compensate when backing out. Otherwise, it's a pleasure to drive. Ask again in 5 years when wear and tear have set in.

I recently bought the 2011 Nissan Rogue and was very happy with my purchase. Its very reliable and provides a smooth ride.

Pros: Love my Rogue, traded in my '08 CR-V for this and I know I made a great decision. Ride is much smoother, less wind noise on the highway, more comfortable interior, & it looks a lot better. I test drove at least 6 other competitor crossovers before I ended up with the Rogue, and I choose it because I believe it's a great value and the most fun to drive. It's the only one of the bunch that liked driving on twisty back roads and has a lot of pep on the highway. The SL package also comes with an excellent Bose sound system which I absolutely love. Lastly, although this winter wasn't that bad, it performed excellently. The CR-V had an accident every time it snowed and always got stuck. Cons: Somewhat noisy CVT on startup (goes away after a few minutes of driving), rear visibility (no problem with SL package: camera works great while parking), a few cheap plastics in the interior (not nearly as much as my CR-V had though), trunk is a bit small compared to the other crossovers I tested, & the steering doesn't feel quite as tight as it did a year ago. Overall review: Great quality crossover without the drawbacks this class usually has. Good ride, comfortable interior, quick, excellent handling, and great looks. Would definitely recommend over the other cars I tested: CR-V, Santa Fe, Forester, & the Rav4. The only other cars I was considering were the Escape & Terrain but the Escape isn't as refined and the Terrain is too expensive (in my opinion of course).

I traded in my Nissan Quest, which I was attached to dearly but I had to do the economical thing. I needed something more fuel efficient since I drive to work (alone) each day. I was concerned with space because I have two boys and do a lot of wholesale shopping. I quickly realized that the roque is a lot roomier than it appears. And if need be, I can always fold the seats down. I absolutely love my rogue. It is fun to drive and very stylish. It rides smoothly and quietly with no jerky movements. Feels like a car. Love it.

i recently bought nissan 2011 sl fully loaded. i had a rav 4 which i sold recently. i always wanted a murano but when i saw this rouge i immediately fell in love with its style looks exactly like murano and its $$ a lot cheaper . i test drove the same model i bought( sl awd ) and i was sold. a lot better than rav 4 which is dull,boring gas guzzler. its been 6 months now that ive had this rouge . no compalints,always get compliments from friends ,family and coworkers .with options like leather,paddleshifters ,awd what else can u ask for...u will not regret buying this suv, i drove 550 km on a single tank ...i would give this suv 5 out of 5 stars ,handles very well i didnt even chage winter tires on a harsh canadian winter and the awl was smooth ,if its good for this weather its good for anywhere

After many hours of research and test driving 6 different cars, we decided on the Rogue SV AWD. Just over 10,000 miles and we are happy with our purchase. Smooth ride compared to the others we drove. Handles well on winding western PA roads. Very sure footed in the snow with the stock tires. Car has a "solid" feel to it, no rattles or vibrations. CVT takes some getting use to but works well. Interior is plain but layout is good and materials seem durable. It is used mainly as a daily carpool vehicle with three riders. 20 miles one way in a combination of hwy/city traffic and getting around 24mpg. Cons: The drivers rear view is very limited and you have to watch the blind spots. The back-up camera is a big help when parking. Not real happy with the limited features of the GPS... it has taken us on some adventures. Also, the exterior paint does seem to chip easily. All in all, great car so far.

so far I really like the car, strong engine and a great look for the standard base of the Nissan Rogue. here is some negatives... the dashboard accessories looks alittle cheap, but not a big deal when parked on a downhill, then changing gears to reverse, the car will roll down if you don't move your foot quickly from the brake to the gas. I would have really really liked the car if I just didn't get screwed by the dealer, even when I did most of my research of not getting ripped off. ONE BIG ADVICE if you are financing, make sure you know how to calculate the APR and don't negioate the deal on a monthly payment as the dealer will try to, just work off the total amount of the car, apr % and how many months. so you should know the x amount of your car and how to calculate the apr % to get your monthly payments. DONT LET THE DEALER GIVE YOU THE MONTHLY PAYMENTS. ALSO, BEFORE YOU SIGN ANYTHING, MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING ON THE BILL OF SALE. After 4 hrs in a dealership, you just want to get it over with, don't let them wear you down.
