Nissan Rogue Forum

Hi all. I just picked up a new 2011 Rogue SV with the SL package today. I traded in a Ford Fusion Sport that I've had for just over 7 months. It was horrible on gas, and not well suited to the winters we've been having up here in NE PA. My boss' wife has a 2008 Rogue SL I've driven in a few times when he's brought it to work, and I always liked it. My wife has driven a Nissan Altima for the last 5 years, and they've been bulletproof. I'm really happy with this decision, and look forward to learning and sharing what I learn along the way.

Nice Rogue and welcome.

Hey!! Congrats!!! It's a beautiful looking SUV. We bought our 2011 SV with SL package in silver about three weeks ago. So far we love it!! I think it's one of the nicer compact SUV's out there today. Best of luck with it!!

Thanks Steve! Congrats to you too. I've owned 3 Silver cars in a row, and I would have gotten it again if they had one, but the dealer asked me what it would take to make me "color blind" and take the only SV with SL they had left, which was the Pearl White... I'm definitely loving it though.

What part of Jersey are you in? I'm originally from Middlesex County, not far from Rutgers.

I'm in the southern part of Jersey. Near Cherry Hill. Burlington County. I love the Rogue in white!! When we went to the dealer, we were looking for a white one but they didn't have any in stock. So the saleswoman pulled up in a silver one which was loaded and we really liked it. It drives very smooth and I love all the tech stuff, including the nav. I just wish the screen was a little bigger. My biggest complaint so far is the gas mileage hasn't been very good. I'm only getting 22-23 MPG on the highway so far. I'm hoping it will get better as I put more miles on it. Right now we have about 1,600 miles. Best of luck with yours. I love the white, too!! Keep in touch and let me know how you like it. Take care.

Damn, we should have traded!!! lol. The white has actually really grown on me. Its dirty as hell right now, but I like it when its clean. I'm getting about 20 combined right now. I did a trip from PA here up to Woodbridge NJ yesterday, and I according to the built in MPG meter I got like 28. I know thats a bit optimistic, but I'm sure I was over 25. I also put a K&N filter in last week to get some more air in, so maybe thats made a difference. We'll see.

Yeah, that's funny! lol. I drove on a job today about 125 miles round trip and I only got about 23 miles a gallon. I'm still gonna give it more time and see what happens. You're getting great mileage so far!! Mine is dirty as hell, too. Everytime I want to get it washed we get snow or rain!! Just turned 1,700 miles. I bought mine the end of Dec.

Did you get the Nav, too? If so, how do you like it so far? The backup camera is a big help. Best of luck

I got mine about 3 weeks ago, and I'm at 800 miles. I did get the Nav & backup camera. That camera is definitely a savior. The little back window is a killer for backing up.

Yeah, without the camera it would be really tough!! I just wish the made the Rogue a little wider. The cargo area is smaller than a lot of the other compact SUV's from what I've read, too. Iv'e got 1800 miles already. I've had it about six weeks now. But overall, I really like it. Keep me posted. Enjoy!

So the car is a compact SUV huh? I have heard it called a "sport wagon."
I like compact SUV better.
