I purchased my Rogue about 3 months ago. It was used 2008 fully loaded AWD SL in the sparkly blue color. It's an amazing car, I love it

I actually already posted when I was browsing about the CVT rattling issue, which mine started doing a few weeks after I bought it Fortunately that's the only problem it seems to have.

Nice to meet fellow Rogue enthusiasts!

Similar story here! NOTHING but Honda's and Toyotas for the last 21 years! Yesterday I purchased a white FWD 2009 SL with the premium package. It's my very first Nissan as well. If the Rogue turns out to be as reliable as my Hondas and Toyotas I'll be one happy camper!

Before buying the Rogue I thoroughly tested the Honda CRV, the Toyota RAV4, and the 2009 Subaru Forester. Other than the limited visibility out of the Rogues rear window... it was no contest. The Rogue wins hands down. It's a sweet car for the money.

The Rogue is a beautiful car and I'm looking forward to many years with her.

came across the Rogue Owners forum while doing new car shopping and am proud to say we ended up buying a 2009 Rogue S model in Wicked Black a few weeks ago. We traded in a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica that had been nothing but problems. See ya on the forums!

My name is Juan and I am the proud new owner of a 2009 Nissan Rogue S FWD in Phantom White with the Grey interior. I am very excited about this car and look forward to any years of ownership. I am coming from a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer so while I am sure I will miss the power, I am looking forward to the better handling and better gas mileage. Well, just wanted to say hi.

I bought new white 2009 Nissan Rouge a week ago.

I'm in Ukraine, Odessa. The car was imported by the so-called grey-market dealer which we have plenty. So I think I'm the most distant Rogue-owner on this forum.

Picked up for the wife a white 2008 Rogue SL AWD with all options (leather, Bose, keyless, Bluetooth) from someone who needed to get rid of his lease. His loss is our gain. He even gave us a set of new winter tires on rims and a cash incentive! :-)

Loving it so far.

Cheers from Montreal.

Welcome to the NICOClub Rogue Forums xgroza!

Ukraine is undoubtedly the furthest away of any of our members.

The Rogue is actually based off the Nissan Qashqai sold in Europe and the Dualis sold in Japan. Nissan North America changed the design (longer wheelbase, different exterior trim, larger motor) for the North American market.

Of course I know Qashqai, we've got plenty of them but first of all I hate it's design - one of the most ugly cars ever, the second thing is its widespreadness - there are too many Qashqais on the streets. The next thing is that Qashqai is smaller, has much stiffer suspension and has smaller engine (1.6 and 2.0). So I'd say that European brother of Rogue is Nissan X-trail (2nd generation) which shares with Rogue 2.5 engine and suspension.

And it is unprestigious to drive it - we have the oposite situation with prestige as in US or Canada (where everyone is crazy about everything European) - to own a car from US is cool.

I received my 2009 Nissan Rogue SL FWD April 27/09.
White Glacier Pearl. Trim package (Side and Door Handles). Waiting for Rear Spoiler which will be installed next week.

Well I've had my Rogue for about a year and a half now and still love it! It was my first new car purchase and am extremely happy with the choice =)

It's the SL model, black exterior and gray cloth interior.

Happy to be among other ROue enthusiasts

Originally from K-W, now living in Calgary.

I bought my 2008 Rogue SL AWD (premium package, Iridium Graphite) last April 2008 and I love my Rogue!

I needed a bigger vehicle due to the recent birth of my son and I wasn't quite ready to buy a minivan at this stage in my life.

I bought the Rogue because I liked the styling, the long list of standard features, the AWD and the secure handling/peace of mind safety I have while driving the Rogue.

I followed the guidelines on Nissan's website for acceptable child car seats and I have not had any problems. It's very easy to install and remove.

Everday, I'm seeing more and more of Rogue's on the road here in cowtown which likely speaks to their popularity, good reviews and forums like this.

Overall, I am very happy with Rogue and highly recommend it.

Great forum and good info on this site
Thanks!

I love my new Rogue, and feel extremely safe in it (main reason I went with it - didn't even check out any other suvs seriously). Now I just need to sell the old car... and maybe grab some pretty silver door handles. ..err, chrome...

get the weathertech digital fit mats....really well made. expensive, but NICE
