Full Test: 2008 Nissan Rogue SL AWD - Once you're behind the wheel, you're first struck by the sheer amount of plastic within the interior. The dash appears cheap at first, but the soft-touch plastic has a pleasant malleability to it, and the silver-painted plastic surrounds look sharp. (more)

Replying to: KarenS (Aug 24, 2007 5:40 am) I have sat inside the Rogue and found it although comfortable, is a bit tight at the front compared to the Outlander. The front passenger seat is quite high - like sitting on a commander chair and feels a bit odd. Other than CR-V and RAV4, I would consider Outlander and Vue being its closest competitors. |

The Rogue is the first credible threat to the market leader in this segment - Honda CRV I found the Rogue interior to be simple yet elegant. The CVT is silky smooth. The proof is in the driving - take a test drive. |

I don't understand why Nissan did not give the Rogue a navigation option. The Rav4 does not have a navigation option either, but most vehicles in this class do.

Does anyone happen to know if the Rogue will take regular unleaded gas?

Yes, could not have said it better myself. This vehicle is by far the loudest compact suv in its class. It sounded like a 91 Saturn SL1 when you tached it up above 3,000 rpm. There is no excuse for that kind of noise in a 2008 vehicle. Also, the road noise coming from the rear was way too loud for this vehicle. A note to Nissan. Charge a little more to add some sound deadening material to this vehicle. If the Nissan Altima can be quiet at speed, so can the Rogue!

Reality, ROGUE was names after a Marvel comics character. The colors are named like that too(Gotham Grey) It is now very quiet..EZ on gas, looks great. Never pretends to be something it is not...It is intended to be a COMPACT SUV with a eye on convenience and versatility.. Has since become MotorWeek small SUV of the year and awarded by Kiplingers too. Knocked the Honda CR-V off the top list. Everyone has a preference- Mine is NISSAN No longer a sleeper, it has bolstered Nissan sales by nearly 19%... |
