We've put almost 1,000 miles on the Rogue already. My wife and I and two dogs took it on a ski trip last weekend. I really like the way it drives and rides. I had a bit of a "yard sale" on Sunday and bruised my hip pretty nicely, yet the ride home was very comfortable. My wife likes the ride as well. Performance won't make you forget you're driving a 4 cyl. but it certainly doesn't feel like a slug. I'm also very impressed with the Bose sound system. I still think the mid-base is a bit boomy but that's typical of car systems -- it's about as good as it gets in a stock sound system, especially in a car in this price range. I was concerned about the rear window and visibility issues. I was concerned enough it really made me think twice about the car. But with the side view mirrors adjusted properly and a little time behind the wheel I'm not finding it a problem. My gripes so far are pretty small. I really wish there was a small drawer somewhere to the left of the steering column in which to put toll tokens and change -- I know there's storage in the center but I had it in my last car and find it much more convenient. I also think the fuel gauge/odometer/trip computer is too small and it's use is not transparent. The glove box is almost too big, you could loose a small dog in there, and it tends to hit passengers in the shin if they open it too quickly. If long-term reliability is good I think I'm going to be real happy with the Rogue.
