It's an SL with the AWD Premium package, and so far I love it!

any tips/tricks for new owners?

Also, here are a few concerns and (few) things I don't like.

- The rear window is tiny! I'm an ace at parallel parking, but was afraid to try when I saw how little I could see.

- A little (very little) disappointed in the "interior accent lighting" .... C'mon, it's ONE led! :-)

- Towing, any been using it to two anything? I replaced my F150 with the Rogue and plan to get a little trailer for things like building supplies and hauling trash.

- Smartkey, we also have a Prius with smartkey. It says not to put them near a cell phone ... but what about putting two smartkeys together. My first guess is it's fine.

Cheers!

I've had mine for about 11 days now, so I'm still learning myself. The Rogue has "accent lighting"? who knew?

I find the rear window refreshing after driving a Dodge Durango where you saw nothing behind the rear of the vehicle. I made the comment the other day that everyone seems to be riding my ass. My coworkers were quick to point out that I could actually see behind the vehicle now and those drivers have always been there. Too funny!

Anyhow, enjoy the new ride and keep us posted.

Depends on whether the Smartkeys are both male or female or mixed gender. Check your manual.

Well, I am used to driving an element with a wheelchair in back, so i learned to drive with my mirrors a long time ago, but it is nice to see out part of the back if i need to.... Accent lighting?? I have 2 lights in very front next to the sunroof button, lights behind the sunroof for the rear passengers and one cargo light in the rear hatch.... as far as towing, nope, not yet... i know towing capacity is like.... 1500 lbs i believe (off the top of my head) so i think something like that would be fine.... and i have a friend with an altima with intellikey and he keeps his with his cell and it always works fine... i would guess, as well that the prius and rogue keys would be fine together.... what color is your SL MDURDICK?

Thanks All!

My SL is silver with the gray interior. Very bright compared to my dirty old F150. :-)

Accent light ... from what I hear, the premium pack "accent lighting" is the little orange led above the center console (near the overhead lights) that bathes your center console in orange at night.
Cool, but I was hoping for lights on the floor or something.

Will keep you all posted as my adventures continue!

Cheers.

I hear you. I searched for days for the "accent" lighting. Then, on one of these forums, the orange light on the overhead consul was mentioned. That's it! Be still my heart.
