Might be buying..Questions..

I might be buying a new Rogue. Test drove it with my husband and we both loved it. The only issue is that we have owned several Nissans in the past and each had some problem that made us trade them in sooner than later. Have any of you had ANY issue with yours yet? If so what and how many miles are on your Rogue. TIA!

I've got 7700km on my Rogue. Had it since December and I love it. No problems so far.

According to Consumer Reports reliability stats, some Nissan vehicles are rated Much Better Than Average (Altima, Frontier, and Xterra), but the Armada is rated Worse Than Average.

Rogue is built alongside the Murano, which is rated as Above Average by CR.

Thanks for your responses. I have an 06 Accord right now. I am still trying to decide between CR-V and Rogue. I've owned just as many Hondas as Nissans so now I just need to go buy something! I might wait until this Fall. My Accord gets 33 mpg. It cost me $50 last night to put @12 gallons in it. I know Rogue and CRV will be a little less in mpg.

Honda CR-V and Nissan Rogue are both great car (you can add the Toyota RAV-4 and Mitsubishi Outlander too).

You just have to ask you questions about the differences between the two:

- Are you looking for 100% reliability or do not mind some youth problem? The Rogue is in its first year of production and the CR-V is there for a long time already (the only changes are cosmetic). For sure, more you wait, more the difference between the two will disappear.

- Are you looking for a more advanced car technologically speaking? I am still waiting for Honda to move the CR-V closer to the Civic for example. The Rogue is more advanced and you can feel it when you climb in it.

- Do you want a truck or a car CUV? CR-V is based on a truck chassis, the Rogue is car-based (and one of the best chassis). Believe me, you can really feel the difference when you drive it (light years difference when I test drove the Mazda Tribute of a friend).

The best way is to test drive both of them, preferably one after the other the same day, your butt feeling will be more accurate to feel the differences.

On a personal note, I rejected the CR-V right away as I did not want an automatic transmission, that is just like that, don't ask why.
I agreed to loose my stance and accept the CVT (thing that I don't regret at all now), but still prefer a manual transmission (great feeling to drive my wife Civic from time to time, except for the bug cover steering wheel).

My wife did not want the RAV4 (only SUV with manual transmission) because of the roll effect in curves, but after the first turn in the Rogue, told me: This is the car you will be driving now, and I said: Yes Master!

Still waiting for the saleperson from Mitsubishi to call us back for a test drive of the Outlander, so I cannot talk yet about this SUV.

Also, don't forget the redesigned 2009 Subaru Forester. We rejected it for, among several other things, the 4-speed auto trans on the regular-fuel version.

I have test driven the Rogue, CR-V, Rav, and Forester. I took the Rogue home overnight and took the CRV for the rest of the following day. I am lucky to have a very good relationship with the dealership. Unfortunately as I said in the op, after owning so many Nissans with issues, I am hesitant to purchase another one. That's why I asked if anyone had problems yet. I found another site where people have had their transmissions replaced already. Thanks for sharing your experiences so far in owning a Rogue.

Ken.....uh Pes,
We to drove and considered all the vehicles you mentioned. If resale were the only consideration, the CRV would have been a no brainer, our 04 was totaled.. However, one drive in the Rogue, sold it.....Really nice handling little vehicle.
