I started browsing these forums just after the Rogue came out in Sept '07. Since then I have purchased a Rogue and have just become this forum's moderator. I live near Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. My profession is a Project Specialist working in the field of Building Automation.

'08 Rogue SL FWD (Canadian model), no options
Accessories and mods: Yakima Roof rack, Curt Mfg class I/II hitch, back mesh lower grille

Cheers!

Got my new ride 2 days ago, it's a SL AWD with Premium package, color : Airstream (I wanted white pearl but the dealer wasn't able to find one). I've been lurking on this forum for a while now and learned a lot about the car. That helped my decision when I decided to purchase. Thanks to all for posting!

I'm still getting used to the size and high position on the road, but so far so good :-) Now I can't wait to commute to work in the morning, lol!

So far, I seem to be the only one in my general area with one! - I live in Warner Robins, GA (about 2.5 hrs south of Atlanta) and this one has drawn quite a bit of attention with its features and stick-out-like-a-sore-thumb color. lol

I love it though! - there's a strong sense of pride in driving the Rogue to work. I've read some fascinating posts here and am happy to be among many drivers that feel the way I do.

We just brought home an indigo Blue Rogue SLwith grey interior last night. Our car has the premuim package, leather, moonroof, floor mats and bumper protector.

We got it for $300 over the published invoice price.

My wife and I are pretty excited because even if we get only 21mpg, thats a 50% improvement in fuel economy over the '03 Trailblazer LTZ we traded in!!!

My only regret so far is that I didn't learn about mynissan dot com before I asked for a car with floor mats and bumper protector. Could have saved some bucks. (darn)

thanks

Even though I wanted a silver Rogue, it was difficult to find one with leather in our area, so we went for the Red/Black Leather combination and we love it. It looks really sharp (love that red stitching!). This is our first SUV and it's going to take a little time to get used to it but we love the challenge. It is a great looking vehicle with beautiful body lines and the combination of features with the leather and the AWD Premium Package is awsome.

I would like to thank everyone here for all the good posts and comments.
This forum was a big help to us.

I just purchased my 2008 Rogue SL AWD in Silver Ice with Black/Red leather. Got it loaded with everything. I am so happy with it so far. My 2005 Pathfinder's lease was up and I was ready to get rid of the gas pig for something more economical. This is my first SUV not built on a truck platform. I test drove most of the same SUV crossovers that everyone else has and decided the the Rogue felt hands down bettter than any RAV4 or CR-V. LOVE LOVE LOVE the bluetooth for my phone. We are looking into instaling a trailer hitch for a bike rack but haven't decided whether to have the dealer do it or go for a lower cost alternative like U-Haul.

Also, I am in the Boston, MA area and am looking forward to using it for all our summer activities!!

This little car rocks

PS: Sorry about the answer on the side step rails I posted, that included a question along with it. I'll be sure to start a new topic, rather than lead into another from a current. :+( My apologies.

First jap car, first car that doesn't leak (I hope), first car with creature comforts.

Was a Jeep man until some kid texting took the Jeep out.

So far like the Rogue. Decided to buy something that got better gas milage than 15mpg.

Need the hatchback, AWD and racks to haul kayaks and canoes. Installed a bumper hitch to haul a pontoon boat trailer (small rowable) or a jon boat.

Got the AWD premier package and a few other minor accessories.

So far I like the gas milage. Will be taking it on a road trip tonight for 10 hours, so we'll see how I like it afterwards.

Had a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee but hated the 15mpg city and 20 hwy, that's the 3.7L V6. First tank on the Rogue the computer register 25.4 mixed city/hwy.

Will post some pics once the Yakima Kayak Rack is finished and the Rogue is loaded down with two 14ft Kayaks! On the initial install the wind noise was horrible probably due to the curviture of the roof and wind deflection. This vehicle will require the fairing to eliminate some of the noise.

2008 SL AWD, leather, moonroof, everything but the roof rails (damn dealer forgot to put them on and now states they weren't part of the deal even though the original sales sheet has them on it...not the final sales sheet though, my mistake)

Anyway, I found this site by accident because I was looking for accessories. I'm glad I did. It looks like a good group here.

I'm also looking forward to spending some more time on this site.

I FINALLY picked up my Rogue last Friday after the worse buying experience i've ever had. Venom Red, AWD, Premium Pkg, Moonroof Pkg, Leather Pkg (black leather/red stitching), etc. After driving it all weekend, all I can say is.....I LOVE IT!!!

This is the first nissan that i've owned and it definitely won't be the last. We currently have 2 Scion xBs, just traded in a GMC Yukon for the Rogue (oldest kid off to college, two little ones left, didn't need the big SUV an the Rogue has more than enough cargo room for our needs).

Still waiting for the dealership to install the roof rail crossbars and the rear bumper protector, but other than that, I couldn't be happier with our decision to buy the Rogue.

I purchased my Rogue about a month ago and I'm loving it. It replaced my 2004 Jeep Liberty and I'm glad I did given the rising gas prices. I am getting 25 mpg city/highway driving. My Rogue is Carbon Silver and came equipped with SL AWD, splash guards, moonroof package, floor mats, premium package, wheel locks and roof racks. I've added rear bumper guard, chrome kick plates, backup camera, locking gas cap, Curt Class II hitch, and Professional Wiring's T-Connector. I think the Rogue is a fun CUV. The Rogue is my winter and bad weather vehicle. My summer vehicle is a 2007 Saturn Sky.

myk_lam, I hope the Altima is working well for you. The Rogue and Altima share different generations of the same QR25DE motor. The newer version in the Rogue has higher compression, a different intake (no more butterfly valves), and a revised balancer system. IMHO it's a smoother running unit that the previous version.
