2011 Nissan Rogue

[dmuramoto]

This week I'm sampling a 2011 Rogue SV. Nissan Sport readers might recall when we reviewed the original '08 model when it first debuted that we terrorized a Mustang driver on the roads above San diego. This version has the mid-model updates, which play well on the vehicle. I particularly like the new grille and dash layout and find the entire package nicely integrated and filled with lots of useful features. A few days ago I filled up the rear with four older TVs, a computer monitor, speakers and other bits for an electrical recycling event in my area. They fit beautifully and was so much easier without having to resort to using the racecar truck ('96 Chevy C3500 one ton with 454 BB) for such a small task.

My one gripe is that the keyless entry still uses a ignition column stub rather than pushbutton start. And even that is more a reflection of my changing values than anything wrong with the Rogue itself.
