Att: New Rogue Members - Post your introductions here

[Elvira]

Hi all! I am new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I just got my 2010 Rogue Krom in Wicked Black a few months ago. This is my first Nissan (my first car was a Plymouth Breeze, second was a Toyota Celica and last was a Toyota Corolla), however, my husband's last 3 vehicles have been Nissan. I name my cars for some unknown reason, and I wanted to name this one something dark due to the name of the paint and the fact it is a dark car, so I decided to go with Elvira. My main interest with the Rogue is to make it look nice. I think I have a great starting point with the Krom package (oh, I am so thankful that Nissan came out with this one!), and maybe do a few minor things to help with the performance (I know it is not a HEMI or anything, but if somethings helps, I'm open to it). I'm getting the front windows tinted tomorrow (I have started a thread on that), so that will be my first mod to Elvira.

Now, off to search the board!

Hello Everyone! Today is my official first day with my baby! She is a 2010 Phantom White SL AWD Loaded (except Moonroof) With your guys opinons and everything you convinced me to buy one and Im glad I did! She has Black leather inside with red stitching! Shes hot! lol (its a girl) lol! I have a 2009 Honda Accord Sedan and it was my dream car! I loved it until I started having rear break issues with only 19k miles on it! I was so mad when I went to the dealer they took advantage and charged $225 without guarentee (since so many people came right back with the same issue) so I was sad to even think about getting anything other than Honda! I even looked at the CR-V and their sales people were just in the showroom cars talking I was furious!! So my family ( 3 Nissans) convinced me to switch over I wanted the Ford Edge but thats a 6cyl and the prices are sooo over the top I looked into the Rogue! LET ME TELL YOU!! I do NOT regret it one bit!! I thought they were a little funny looking when they first came out but man who would have known id fall in love with one! They are bigger inside than what you think they are! The design is beautiful! Love the extra cargo space/ storage bin! I couldnt ask for more cant wait to take it to Reno this winter and try the AWD!! Please take it for a test drive!! The SL you can fix the seats around ( im 5'7) I felt a little tall in the S but look around!! If you think the dealer is being to pricy then wait!! Check craigslist for dealers specials I got mine for $23K! Cant beat that! !! Honda who!?! LMAO!!

Hello all, my name is Steve. I've been trolling these forums for a few weeks and today I purchased a 2010 Wicked Black Rogue S AWD with 360 package. I'm looking within the next couple of months to add an aftermarket HU, possibly a Pioneer 3200BT. I look forward to joining the community = )

I decided it was time to grow up and traded in my '04 Mazada RX-8 today for a new '10 Nissan Rogue SL to better suit my outdoor lifestyle. The RX-8 was a very demanding car and I decided to walk away from it before the engine starting going. I'm enjoying the Rogue so far, I like the mature look and practicality. Although this is my first Nissan, I have only heard good things about them. It looks like there are a lot of knowlegeable folks on here and look forward to learning a lot about my new ride!

Its great to have you guys on our NICO Rogue forum, please post up your initial impressions and experiences with the Rogue and dont hesitate to ask questions and offer your perceptions!

[vabelleintn]

Hello All...New to the NICO Rogue Forum, but "long" time Rogue owner. Got my girl in October of 2008, one of the first sold in my city. She is Silver Ice S FWD model. I have put about 52K miles on the car in less then 3 years. My Rogue is my 4th Nissan. I have also had an '87 Stanza, '90 Maxima, and '01 Sentra. I don't plan on ever driving anything but a Nissan.

[mlmcgahee]

I have loved owning my 2008 Nissan Rogue over the last 3 years and this forum has been a great resource. The time has come for me to leave the Rogue Forum and move on to the Altima Coupe forum. This past Friday I traded my 2008 Rogue for a 2010 Nissan Altima Coupe. Awesome car! Thanks for everything and keep enjoying you Rogue...

Hi,

My name is Tony, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I recenly purchase a 2009 Rogue, it is different from the usual type of cars I have owned in the past which includes a 05 Benz C320. 05 Benz CLK500, 06 350z, 02 BMW 330ci, etc.. The only thing that is remotely similar is a 02 Land Rover Discovery on 22's but that was just a pahse that lasted less then a year, I hated that car and will never purchase another LR. I purchase a Rogue because I am having my first kid at the end of the year and need a dependable car for the family needs, I did not want a Van or a full size Suv so the Rogue fit my needs, I was mainly looking at a CX-7, X3, CR-V, and a few others of that type. I could not find a CX-7 in the price range I like and felt a turbo car was not something I wanted for a family car (the supra is my boost happy car), the X3 was to much of a maintance queen (been through to many German cars and know the headach it brings), in the end the Rogue is the best value I see for the money. No more fun cars here except for the Supra, I am enjoying the Rogue for wat it is and feel that it will meets my needs just fine.

On to the pictures:

The car I sold for the Rogue: 2005 Mercedes Benz CLK500 AMG Package

Hey everyone. I'm new to the forum (one other post yesterday) and will be going to the dealer tonight to work on a price for the S 360 AWD. I would love to have gone with the SL, but after taxes etc, it'll be more than I can afford right now - plus I still need to get a remote start put in. The two things I wanted most with the SL were the Xenon headlights and the bluetooth. I think I can get the headlights online and put them into the 360 myself, and I'm planning on upgrading the radio anyway so I'll get one with bluetooth - it'll work out much cheaper I think than going with the SL. Anyway, I don't think I'll be driving one home tonight (probably in a couple days I'm guessing), but plan on leaving the dealer tonight knowing that I'm almost a Rogue owner

The post above was from a couple days ago - I'm happy to say that I'm now officially a Rogue owner. I went with the AWD 360 package - Gotham Gray. Love it!!!

[coolcat5774]

Hello everyone. just bought a 2010 ROGUE S AWD, nothing fancy, i just wanted an AWD, traded in my 08 Spec-v.

[AllaninIndy]

Hi all. Just got my new Rogue yesterday. Picked up a 2010 silver S AWD with the 360 package, floormats, and splash guards. Paid 20,588 before tax, 22,030 total including tax. Great deal, great car. Loving it so far.

Just bought a Rogue. 2010 SL FWD. Basic package. Love gadgets, but was short on budget. Out the door price was $20300. Its some iridium Metalik color exterior. So finding it tough already to look for any generic exterior updates.
But I loving this blog though. I love car improvements. Here's a list in my mind right now:

1. Front guard (someone has this great gutter guard idea. Liked it)
2. Interior LED
3. Front Chrome insert
4. Fog light
5. Parking sensor/ Camera
6. Chrome linning
7. LED Turn light
8. Bumper guard
9. Spoiler


Looking forward to sharing all future updates....

Hi every1, So glad i joined the Club !!! My name is George and i just bought the new baby last night, still on my first full tank but loving it, My wife & I became Nissan lovers we have the Nissan Versa that is really great in gas w/6Cd changer and stuff, so we decided to trade our 03 Trailblazer witch had over 100K miles and go for this model, i researched for all Crossovers possible & competitors before i decided to go for the new R ogue and i think we were right, looking forward to share experiences, problems and ideas for this nice reliable vehicle, We live in Cheyenne, WY and we got the 2010 S w/360 package with the camera, SIlver ice color, black interior, WE LOVE IT !!!!

[gladitsgraphite]

well not sure if i did this right but here goes...i'm a repeat offender!! i bought an 09 rogue almost 2 years ago after driving a galant sedan for almost 10 years...i did love the rogue but was never happy with the silver ice color it was an SL and loved all but the color (omg i am SO shallow!! lol), just could not like the color for me...so i thought I will go back to a little white sedan and traded my rogue in for a hyundai sonata 6 cylinder limited, loaded. it was a great car, do not get me wrong. but after driving a small suv, sitting up tall, etc. it was just not as much fun - that was almost a year ago. so i started looking for another small suv i could get into without burying myself alive in it of course and started thinking used was the way to go. i looked at the hyundai tuscon particularly but i was definitely going to have to love whatever i got since i want to keep it for ten or fifteen years, i don't like this musical car stuff and way too costly...after many months of searching and dreaming, i realized the only color on the rogue i truly liked and had wanted from the beginning was the iridium graphite but could never get it around here, new or used. looking online the other night, i saw a used one just posted at a nearby dealership for what looked like a great price and called to make appt next day. it is a 2010 SL, pretty much loaded like my old one but also has a sunroof, a spoiler and the most AWESOME chome BOSS rims on it (about $3,000 dollars worth), chome door handles (chrome is my favorite color)...unbelievably clean, no wear or tear and 13,000 miles, stll smelled new. Certified vehicle. I waited 4 hours, then came back to look at it, they were writing it up for another sale to someone else...my salesman saw me drive thru, yelled at the other salesman to NO, DON"T SELL IT MY LADY IS BACK!!...the rest is hisory...i got a good deal on the used rogue, good deal on my used car and have been grinning ear to ear ever since and FEEL LIKE I HAVE COME BACK HOME WHILE BEING IN MY ROGUE!! God willing, this is my 15 year car...love every bit of it!! :-)

Hello Everyone,
Yesterday we purchased the Rogue S - 360. Color is black, and it's a 2010. I had a Nissan pick-up when I was a teenager, but it's the first for my wife. We've been driving Honda Civics lately, I've had one since 2002 and my wife has had hers since 1998. After financing, the purchase will cost $23,400. We had plans to buy a Honda Accord, since we now need more room in the back seat for our son's car seat. Honda didn't want to budge from their prices, I guess they don't really need to. If Nissan hadn't helped us out as much as they did we would have had to go to Toyota for a Camry lease. The salesman made it easy on us, my wife had spoken to him earlier on the phone so he was able to set the agreed to price. It didn't take long and we were out the door and happily on our way. I'm glad I found this forum, and I can't wait to read the posts.

[hammester]

Hey everyone,

I just picked up my 2010 Rogue SL wicked black/gray leather with Premium and leather packages, chrome grill, roof rack crossbars, floor mats, aluminum kick plates, and bumper protector, for $22,350 plus TTL. It took about 2 weeks of contacting multiple dealers around my area to get this price and to locate the exact color combination I wanted. I also did not want the moonroof which made it even harder to locate. In the end it was definitely worth the wait!

[karlockhart]

[heatherk1]

Hi. I'm Heather. I guess I shoulda joined 3 weeks ago when I bought my Rogue. I bought a 2010 black s krom edition with the 360 package. I LOVE my car.
I traded in an old PT Cruiser and surprisingly driving the Rogue was a lot like the PT without the bumping,road noise, and other flaws that my old car had. The Rogue is the only car I test drove and drove it off the lot the day I tested one.
Now to what happened. My Rogue saved my life. I was in a really bad accident yesterday that completely smashed my engine into the back of a flat bed tow truck and was rearended by another vehicle. All going about 50 mph on the highway. The airbags didn't deploy but I was pushed so far into the back of the bed of the truck that the hood kept it from going through the windshield. I'll never own anything but a Rogue.
I'll figure out how to post pics of before and after.
Thank y'all for helping me make the best decision of my life!

[Pescakl1]

Heather,

Welcome and glad you are OK. The fact that the airbag did not deployed may be because you hit the truck more with your hood that with the bumper (not normal, truck should have a low bar to be at the level of car bumpers in order to avoid this problem).

Bad thing that your brand new car was crashed, was it totaled? Do you plan to buy another one?

As for pictures, if you don't have one yet, open an account on Photobucket for example, upload your pictures on their website, and then insert the link here (link with the [img] quotes).

[kerrton]

Wow Heather, that's a crazy story, I'm really sorry to hear of your accident but very happy that you were not hurt, and very happy to have you as a member of the Rogue forum, welcome!!

I have read several accounts of the Rogue in accident situations with the drivers coming away unhurt and highly praising this car for preventing serious injury and possibly even death.

Like Pescakl I'm assuming you will be getting a replacement new Rogue once the insurance business is all settled?

Hello everyone....

please advise....thnx


also really like what insomnia did to his rogue with the led mirror covers and automatic folding mirrors...

Thanks guys.

[kerrton]

Welcome to the forum everybody!

Mak32, to post photos you have to upload and store them on a free photo hosting web site then insert the link into the Rogue forum thread - it's really simple and you can get it done literally in 5 mintues.

Photobucket.com works great, it's free, create an account then upload your photos, they then provide you with a link for each photo that you insert into the Rogue thread using the "URL" button (make sure you use the Full Editor, not the "Quick Reply" function).

If you do have difficulties don't worry, just message me and I'll help you out right away, I can even host the photos for you if you want.
