2011 Rogue AWD SL. Bought new in November 2010 in Springfield, Missouri, USA. A of today, has about 82,000 miles on it. 70% highway, 30% city driving.
PROS: Handles anything winter throws at us with no problems (except getting stuck when it 'high centered' on snow left in our drive by a snowplow). Stylish. Tried the Honda, Kia, Hyundai, etc., comparable SUVs. Rogue by far out-handles them all!
CONS: Gas mileage. We had one of the first Frontier trucks and the best it got was 16, which was terrible for such a small truck and the reason we got rid of it. Mine averages around 22mpg. combined. I had an 8-cylinder 2003 BMw 540i that did that well!!!
Thank goodness we purchased an extended warranty on it. The leather on the passenger front seat was thin and starting to wear very quickly, which was replaced under the original 36K/3 YR warranty. The car started that hum/drone sound mentioned by others. And it would shudder when taking off from stoplights, etc. Just got it back. They had to replace BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS and the DRIVESHAFT!!! At 82,000 miles!?! Said the U-joints were bad on the driveshaft and you can't just replace them; the entire shaft has to be replaced. It was in the shop for 4 days. Thankfully the rental was also covered (dealership 100 miles from here.)
Oh, and I often get the 'key not detected' message. And the 'insert SD card' into the Navigation system. Both of these have been an on-going thing since day one.
And let's not forget the paint! ALL the indentations behind the door handles have fingernail scratches. A LOT of them. I'd read elsewhere of complaints about the clearcoat scratching easily. Despite owning many, many autos over the years (have four now: 1971 BMW; 1995 GMC K1500; 2004 Dodge 3500 4x4 dieseal and the Rogue), have NEVER seen this problem.
Anyone else have those problems????
Thanks!
