My new Rogue

[Groundpounder2]

I took delivery of a 2011 Rogue SV AWD, platinum graphite with black interior, this past Tuesday. I figured I'd post some initial thoughts, and update this from time to time.

I really like this vehicle. I'm 6'3" and not skinny, and I have plenty of room in the front seat. The seats have been very comforable, but I haven't driven it for more than an hour at a time so far. It handles very well, and it has plenty of power for normal driving. The Frontier this replaced had a horrible turning radius, so parking and driving this thing in tight spaces is a huge improvement. I love the built in XM and iPod interface. I had a maze of wires in my previous vehicle, and had to switch cables when I wanted to switch between XM and my iPod. The Bluetooth works great, and it was very simple syncing my phone up with it.

I have a few minor gripes. The cup holders won't hold a water bottle that I always used in my truck, and the sunglass holder won't hold my largish Oakley sunglasses. That's it so far....

I'll update this periodically.

That's an interesting review. I had actually considered getting a Frontier before I bought my Rogue. The fuel costs are what really scared me away though...

That's what put me in a Rogue, combined with it being 2wd and living in New England. It held it's value really well, I bought it in June 2007 for $18,500, and just sold it for $13,300. I LOVED the Fronty, but it had to go.
