Review of loaner Rogue with 8500 miles

[Goblin]

Before reading know that as a Rogue owner I am very disappointed in this loaner and hope this does not represent long term Rogue owners. OK, so my Rogue is having the trany checked out and Nissan gave me a loaner Rogue S AWD BASE MODEL to drive in the mean time. What a piece of junk! Yeah, that's a bad way to start a review but man this car rattles like nobodies business. The dash, door panels, something out side the car (I think) all makes rattling noises. The speakers sound horrible and vibrate or buzz constantly. Even my 9 year old daughter said this car is junk dad. I was not impressed. The kicker was on the windshield they have a Gold Certified Label. I don't know what they check but they haven't driven this vehicle. The ride totally sucks, I feel every crack and piece of sand on the road. And every thing makes this car rattle like and old truck. Even if as a loaner its been abused you would hope that the vehicle would ride and sound better than this. I did notice the lag or drop in acceleration with this vehicle that I have not noticed in mine.

Wow! This dealer is a real piece of work. I would run away... quickly!

I have 12,000 miles on mine and it's still solid as a rock. No rattles.

That includes after Saturday, when I hit an unmarked neighborhood speed dip at 30 mph in Texas. I hit that thing so hard that the entire car went airborne and my head hit the roof.

Drove back to Iowa with no rattles or any other sign of damage.

(As a side note, there are a LOT of Rogues on the road in Fort Worth!)
