Nissan Rogue Forum

Liked the Niisan Rogue very much but wanted some more options so I bought a Nissan Murano in white pearl with tan interior and sofar love it.

Nooo, say it isn't so Jack!

...and there was much rejoicing.

im kidding! lol - but in all reality, i also test drove (i think we all did) the murano before buying the rogue, but what changed my mind is:
1. larger, much more expensive tires to replace
2. more fuel consumption
3. more expensive insurance
4. price was more up-front

Didn't test drive the Murano, or anything else. Just decided to get the Rogue. My test drive was more of an afterthought. Mind you, my right arm was in a sling as I was recovering from shoulder surgery, so I didn't go far on the test, nor for a month after I bought it.

what really scared me is the 20" tires on the murano.

discount tire has the cheapest tire for the Murano at $289.77(Michelin Latitude Tour HP)
discount tires has the cheapest tire for the Rogue at $117.00 (Yokohama AVID Touring-S)

I never considered the Murano. Too big for us, too expensive. Rogue has everything I want, except fixed ratios/paddle shifting on the CVT. Miss that. Like it on the Dodge Caliber CVT

i love the rogue.
i really do love the way the murano looks, and i test drove the murano, and it drove like a truck.

the rogue has everything i need, and then some. very pleased with my purchase.
(PS: i got the paddle shifters lol)

Yup, ours has the paddles too. Tried using em, but it just didn't do anything fo rme.

The dealer we bought the Rogue from had a Murano on the lot too, I wanted to test drive it but the wife wasn't interested and since its her car I dropped it. It was white anyway and neither of us likes white cars. Also it cost more, had twice the mileage and was 2 years older and not CPO.

did it do anything? is it broken? -or you mean it just didnt impress you?

because i noticed the rogue almost immediately goes into a ratio of what would equate to 6th gear, so it takes hitting "-" a few times to get it back into 3rd or 4th before you feel any difference.
