Did you go from a Rogue to a Qashqai (Rogue Sport)?

Did you go from a Rogue to a Qashqai (Rogue Sport)? If so, what do you think? What are your impressions? Any regrets? Did you skip the Qashqai and just get something else?

I have a 2009 Rogue SL AWD with 150,000 km on it, and the cost of repairs is starting to get a little high. Thinking about getting a Qashqai.

I had (just traded) a 2015 Rogue SL AWD w/ premium package. My wife had a 2011 Juke. She had been waiting for the Rogue Sport's release. Test drove it, loved most things about it and traded her Juke for a fully loaded Rogue Sport SL AWD in the Monarch Orange.

Our biggest gripe is no Bose system. The lines actually look better than the Rogue and it rides very quiet and very smooth on the 19's.

How do you find the Sport's power and acceleration?

I was disappointed that a Bose system isn't available. How does the Sport's system compare? Does it have any punch?

The Sport has decent acceleration. Not like the Juke because it is heavier and not a turbo. As with any CVT, you have to put your foot in it a bit to get it to go.

As far as the system, it's sounds pretty decent for a stock, non-premium system. I wouldn't call it punch, but it really isn't bad.

My Rogue had the Bose system and it sounded pretty good. However, the Bose system in my new Canyon Denali sounds even better.
