2011 Nissan Rogue SV 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
There isn't much I don't love about this car. I've had it for 8 months now and I have the SV/SL "everything" package. The leather is nice, my friend says the seats are more comfortable than in her CR-V. I'm slightly disappointed with the gas mileage, but I have a lead foot (20/22 city with AC in Texas heat, 28 tops highway). I went from a 2000 Cavalier, so I really love sitting up … higher, and the sunroof and back-up cam are must haves.
It is very quiet, and it doesn't feel too large unlike some others in the category. Accessories feel high-quality, not cheap.
What it's missing

2011 Nissan Rogue SV 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
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 It's difficult to use if you're 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.
I felt comfortable the first time I drove it....

2011 Nissan Rogue SV 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
I bought a used 2011 Rogue with 28,000 miles on it, a "program car" in excellent shape. I test drove the Honda CR-V, RAV4, Altima, and
brand new Rogues, but for some reason when I drove this one, it felt like "my car." It just fit.
The ride is nice and smooth even with the 4-cylinder (I'm used to driving full-sized V-8's).
It has quick response in the 25-45 MPH range that makes moving … around in traffic very easy.
I guess you could call it "nimble."
Gas mileage is very good, but not great. After driving 900 miles (mostly city driving), I'm getting about 24.2 MPG. I have XM satellite radio, which rocks. More roomy inside than it looks. All in all, I love it.
Enjoying the ride

2011 Nissan Rogue SV 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
2 1/2 month review.
Wasn't sure at first because of vibration at low speeds, which is a fuel saving function of the cvt.
After breakin, it's much smoother.
Love the smooth ride on the highway.
One annoying thing, during rain, it's noisy, almost like you've 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.
I'm happy with my little suv...when it's not raining.
