It's not logical to assume the Nissan will do anything major to the Rogue for even a coupla more years, it was new in 08, is doing quite well (I think) and Japanese product cycles tend to last 4 or 5 years.

Replying to: captain2 (Jul 14, 2008 7:14 am) I was thinking it had these already too. I have been waiting to purchase one but remembered all these things from the test drives. Good to hear it all comes with it already!   Since you have the SL AWD- does the car have "puddle lights"? The small lights in the door wells that light up the ground. I was curious and can't remember.

Replying to: pathtomax (Jul 13, 2008 8:44 pm) I'm disappointed that they have not seen fit to offer dual climate control - or single climate control, for that matter (i.e., set the temperature and forget it). Most of the vehicles I've looked at do have that feature and I must admit to being a bit spoiled, since I have 2 other vehicles that do, as well. To me, that's a strike against the Rogue. I really like the way it drives, for a small SUV. But I'm comparing it to other vehicles which fulfill the SUV role better (more space, more capable off-road, better towing capacity, etc.) with comparable mileage. So little things like the climate control add up.
#10 of 10 Rogue CVT transmission by dajani Apr 14, 2009 (1:22 pm)
bought my Rogue S FWD brand new with 33 miles on it back in August 2008. The car drives nice and smooth, it is stylish except for one weak point. The rpm shoots up to 4000 when going up the road and goes down as it picks up speed (very annoying). The Rogue does not have the pick up power to go up hills, it drives fine on flat roads, it feels like the tranny is slipping. I contacted the service dept at the dealership where i purchased the vehicle, but they said they cannot do anything about it. Few days ago, and with 6000 miles on the vehicle I traded the Rogue with Nissan Altima SE V6. I took a a big loss trading the Rogue with the Altima. There is a big difference between the way the Altima V6 CVT and the Rogue drives. I wish I bought back then a Honda CRV SUV or a Toyota RAV4 with 5 SPEED AT.
