2009 Nissan Rogue User Reviews

Pros

AWD was great for icy driving conditions

Cons

rattles, wind noises, blind spots on side viewing, poor rear view visability

Purchased As New

This car has been a major dissapointment. I've had it looked at three times for the wind noises, nothing can be done. One educated guess by a technician was the top rails were the cause. Haunting numerous minor problems with bluetooth, moon roof controls, and clamps that come loose and cause rattles. Passenger side seating is poorly diesigned - if you lower the sear back to a reclining position the bottom of the seat protrudes into your lower back....read morehide

Pros

I like it all

Cons

Except the view

Purchased As New

I researched for about 6 to 12 months before I purchased. I live about 35 miles away from my job and needed something that could get me there with minimal gas uasge but in the snow was well. The AWD Rogue was that car. I only have to fill it every 3 days and it handled well in the snow this past winter. Glad I went with the Rogue, and for under $30,000 fully loaded with extended warranty, can't really beat that!!...read morehide

Appearance, value, comfort

Cons

Visibility

I bought a Versa in August of 08 and quickly realized it was going to be too small for my needs. I thought about the Rogue or the Murano for a while and went to the dealership to look at a pre-owned Murano. Then I saw this beautiful car pull up. The saleswoman barely had to sell me on it at all. I swallowed quite a bit of negative equity, but I'm still overjoyed with my choice, which speaks to the quality of this vehicle. I got a fully loaded (minus leather) SL for under 25k--you can't beat that with a stick! The same options in the Murano would easily have cost 10-15k more. The Murano has more oomph, but if you're not a lead foot you'll be more than happy with this car. Love the Bose stereo, love the body styling, love the CVT. I've never had any desire to have an automatic (I know, this isn't really an automatic) but this car is making a convert of me. The few problems that I've heard about from people who bought the first model year appear to have been dealt with. The one issue that I have is what almost everyone else has said--visibility. The car sits at just such a height, and the window in the rear is placed in just such a way that changing lanes can be difficult--no last minute lane switches, you need to be cautious and look twice. But a very minor issue for non-road ragers....read morehide

Pros

Killer stereo, looks and feels solid, great 4 cyl., roomy

Cons

Blind spots

Purchased As New

I finally found a vehicle my wife and I BOTH love. Got to use the AWD in the snow this winter and it drove great. Getting 22.5 - 25 mpg depending on route and that's great for something this roomy. The CVT is quiet and just like an auto with better mileage. I recommend the bluetooth!

Pros

Sporty, roomy, good gas milage, has power for a 4 cyclinder

Cons

has a blind spot where the third window is that makes you look twice before switching lanes

Purchased As New

I love my Rogue! It is everything I wanted in a crossover and my notes are very reasonable. The color is outstanding I have the Phantom White with blk interior. It handles well and is a real performer on the street. The CVT shifting is flawless and fun. It looks just like the Infinity EX without the sticker and the luxury inside but when you have small children and a varying climate leather is overated. I had a top of the line Cadillac with all the bells and whistles and I am very happy with my Nissan Rogue it was a much needed change....read morehide

Traded in my Nissan Altima (which I truly enjoyed and liked) for the Nissan Roque. I like sitting higher and it almost feels like my Altima, just a litter rougher, which I can understand. I love the room and performance. Won't be trading in any time soon.

Pros

Classy Style, Comfort, 5-Star Safety, Smooth & Quiet Ride

Cons

Limited Rearview

Purchased As New

I bought this car because it looks soooo classy and pretty cheap compare to competitors. I bought this car for a merely $20K, cheap huh?

From the exterior to interior, it looks great compare to Rav4. It's a roomy interior. It's a comfy drive since the seat is well elevated and you feel like you're just seating in a regular comfy chair plus when you turn on the overdrive, you don't have to put too much pressure on the gas pedal which saves your energy especially for a woman like me. The overdrive feature makes the ride and driving really really smooth. Sometimes when I am parked, and there's a little music inside, I cannot even hear the engine running, and I thought that I turned the engine off. Even when you step on the gas, you won't hear the noise.

I definitely recommend this car....read morehide

Pros

Nice looking car, nissan reputation, price....

Cons

Rear view

Purchased As New

I trade in a Toyota Corolla 07 for the Nissan Rogue S 09. I'm in love with this car!!! the quality of the sound, the performance and the features of the car are amazing. I still don't know much about the mileage yet but it seems like a kind of economic car, not as much as the Corolla, but economic.
This car is sooo good-looking that everybody in my job is in love with this car.... I'm enjoying it!!!!!...read morehide

Pros

The Nissan Rogue is a great car for the price I enjoy having the great sounds and its spacious.

Cons

seeing out of the rear of this car is not so great .

Purchased As New

Over all the care is good for the cost and had a lot of the features that I wanted. The gas millage is ok again the rear visibility is not good at all. the rear seats are to high and it makes it hard to get a view from the rear view mirror. and windows on the side are tented and it adds to viability situation....read morehide

Pros

BASE STEREO, ENGINE GUST, ROOMY SPORTY NATURE DECENT FUEL ECONOMY

Cons

REARWARD VISIBILITY, NO REAR SONAR SYSTEM/IN DASH NAV AVAIL.

Purchased As New

HAD THE ROGUE FOR OVER 2 MONTHS. ABOVE 2K MILES. I ENJOY THE ENGINE FOR ITS THRUST AND IT LOOKS GOOD. THE BASE STEREO WAS GREAT AND ITS A COMFORTABLE CRUISER. BE CAREFUL PARALLEL PARKING AND SWITCHING LANES CAUSE REARWARD VISIBILITY IS A DETRIMENT. DUE TO ITS SPORTING NATURE, RIDE COMFORT IS ON THE STIFF SIDE SO DONT THINK LUXO. THEY HAVE YET TO OFFER A REAR SONAR SYSTEM/IN DASH NAV. ITS A FUN TO DRIVE CAR....read morehide
