2009 Nissan Rogue SL 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

Review

I just drove my new Rogue SL off the lot and I must tell you - it's fun to drive, sexy and I absolutely love it. My 2006 CRV SE was coming off lease so I was looking for a smooth ride, comfort and curb appeal. This vehicle will not disappoint you. If you've looked at the CR-V, Rav4, Subaru Forester and can't make up your mind... take one of these for a spin. You'll love the room, fold-down seats, rear storage compartments.

Favorite Features

Leather interior, Bose sound system, heated seats, mirror compass, huge glove box, power seats, lumbar support, keyless entry, xm radio, aux jack for Ipod, color (iridium graphite)

Suggested Improvements

Remote rear door opener, locking fuel door

I love my Rogue

Review

I love my Rogue so much. I waited for a year until my lease was up to get this vehicle. It is my first SUV and I could not be happier. I got all the features that I wanted from the Wicked Black paint to the Leather seats and AWD. It makes me happy every time I get into it and take off down the road.

Favorite Features

I love the leather seats,the Bose stereo, AWD, moon roof. I love love love the smart key.

Suggested Improvements

A couple of weeks after I got it I noticed the antenna was gone. They might want to find a better way to attach it or make it smaller. But, that was minor and I have since had it replaced.

Review

We just bought this car, and it is a thrill to drive! I love the CVT, very peppy and smooth 0-60. I researched and tested Rav4, Volkswagen, Mazda, etc., and none compared to the Rogue style/value. I traded a Pathfinder only due to poor gas mileage, but have always loved Nissan quality. This car looks awesome and is a blast to drive. It is very nimble and responsive... you don't even notice that it is a 4 cyl. I chose the AWD because we are moving back up North in a few months. I was impressed with the 5 star crash rating. I couldn't be more thrilled with this crossover!!

Favorite Features

Style/price , smartkey entry (very cool), nimble/peppy, keeps up nicely on highway, comfortable seats, Bose system

Suggested Improvements

Larger rear window (difficult to see out of, but I am used to a larger SUV), power front seats. I still LOVE this car!!

Review

I'm satisfied with my Rogue. Really glad I got an AWD since it performed better than expected in the deep show. Fuel economy is the biggest disappointment, 20-21 mpg on the highway. I've driven 6000 miles in 6 weeks and never got better than 21 mpg. For the 4 cyl this is lousy. Radio is average and the car has only one power plug! No vanity mirrors, oh, well. I can replace the radio and add accessories but the gas mileage is a problem I did not expect.

Favorite Features

Looks sharp. Nice ride. Quiet. Great feel to steering. All wheel drive is excellent - comparable to Audi quattro.

Suggested Improvements

Better stereo. Front vents make noise when fan is on high speed. Rear view is narrow and obstructed. Back up camera would help.

Review

I am very thrilled to be the new owner of the 2009 Nissan Rogue. It has a super slick exterior look. Although the interior could use some spice. Really miss the extra storage spaces that my old car had. I upgraded to the leather seats and highly recommend it. It is fun to drive very similar to my old car as far as how it handles. Very quiet and good gas mileage. The back window could be larger to help with vision, however the side mirrors are a good size, so I just need to get used to using my mirrors more. Overall great car and highly recommend it!

Favorite Features

Slick exterior, smooth and quiet ride, spacious, good gas mileage, bigger vehicle but still zips around like a car.

Suggested Improvements

Larger rear window, more pockets and drawers for stuff up front.

Review

I looked at the CRV, Mazda Cx6, Rav4, Saturn Vue and by chance stopped at a Nissan dealer and discovered the Rogue. The car won hands down, much nicer interior, the ride is great and it has plenty of power. Highway mileage 31.5 at 60-65, combined about 21-22mpg. The bluetooth is best I've seen and to my surprise, the keyless entry is great. The steering is great without being bothered by the road imperfections. There is adequate room in the hatch, seats are comfortable and the fit and finish is excellent. Wish it had a telescoping steering wheel, nav system and a little better rear visibility (back up sensors and cam would be nice). No need for the adjustable headlights.

Favorite Features

Bluetooth, Bose system, heated seats, quiet ride and interior fit and finish.

Suggested Improvements

Nav system, back up camera/sensors, telescoping steering wheel and body side mouldings to prevent door dings.

Review

I was driving a 2002 Toyota Highlander which I loved, but was ready for something a little smaller with better gas mileage. I thought I would end up with the toyota rav 4 or honda crv, but there were things about each of them I didn't like..I didn't even know Nissan had the rogue model, and then I saw it in the paper one day, so I went to the dealer and drove the sl model, liked the features, the price was competitive, it felt more solid and quiet than the toyota and hondas I tried. It has been just 3 weeks and I really like it.

Favorite Features

Bose radio, solid feel, fuel economy, peppy acceleration. comfortable ride.

Suggested Improvements

power driver seat in cloth. the cvt takes a little getting used to...some hesitation in slow gear.

Review

Own Mercury Mountaineer but wanted something to drive to work that got better mileage. Didn't count on this! Awesome interior - hubby is 6'01" and needs lots of leg and head room - he's got it. Comfortable, roomy seats. Excellent turning radius. Great back seat leg room also and plenty room for luggage. Exceptional head room! Quiet - almost no road noise! Smoother ride than our nephew's Honda CRV. We are both thrilled with purchase. Couldn't be happier! Enough to make this ol' grandma feel like she's really "styling". Best of both worlds - SUV style combined with fuel economy, comfort and grace!!

Favorite Features

Sporty, stylish. Lots of room, front and back. Great handling. Comfortable, quiet ride. Cool cargo compartment. Great fuel economy. Also has a lot of accelerating power for a 4 cylinder.

Suggested Improvements

Can't think of anything really, right now. I think I'm too in love with it to critic it too much.

Love My Roguester

Review

After 12 years of driving my reliable, beloved Toyt Corolla, my husband insisted I get a car that he "fits" in. He is 6'04" and we compromised on getting a small SUV. I have never owned nor wanted an SUV. I literally researched and test drove the smaller SUVs for a year, before finally looking at a Rogue. We both absolutely LOVE it. It is so smooth, stylish, comfortable and unique. I love the fact that my husband does not complain about sitting in my car any more, since he has ample room. And most of all, I love walking up to my car, admiring the sleek exterior, looking around, and getting excited all over again that I am the owner of the coolest looking car on the parking lot.

Favorite Features

Simple stylish controls. Plentiful storage. Sleek exterior. Keyless entry. Rear pop-up cargo compartment. Homelink system. Smooth ride. Heated seats.

Suggested Improvements

Auto headlights, power passenger seat.

Fun to drive SUV

Review

My friend was interested in the Honda CRV but I convinced him to test drive the Rogue because I have been driving the same Nissan SUV for many years. I also drove the Rogue and I was impressed with how quiet it was even at 80 mph. We test drove the CRV and the interior was noisy when driving 60 mph and the styling was not as slick as the Rogue. Although he was the one looking for a car we ended up each buying one! We bought the S model but upgraded to leather seats and they look very nice.

Favorite Features

Quiet drive, tight turning radius, center console for storage, purse hook in the back, good acceleration for a 4 cylinder,

Suggested Improvements

I wish the back seats fold down completely flat. A small drawer (like an ashtray) to put change/keys, etc that is hidden would be nice. Automatic back hatch release and back window that opens without having to open the door. A larger back window for visibility
