I am pleased with my purchase of 2010 Nissan Rogue. I upgraded to a Rogue from a 2009 Toyota Matrix because I wanted an SUV. Being that I live in New England, it snows often and the main selling point for the Rogue for me was the fact that it has all wheel drive. I've only driven in it in the snow once, but I am pleased with how it performed. My old car, the Matrix, was absolutely terrible in the snow.
The only issues I have the vehicle may be because I bought the vehicle used. I feel like if I bought it brand new, I wouldn’t have ran into the many issues I did. When I bought the SUV it only had 25,000 miles on it, but in the 6 months that I’ve own it I have had to replace all 4 tires and the battery. My issues with the SUV are a result of the issues I’ve had with the dealership. I would never purchase another thing from that dealership, but I don’t believe that is Nissan’s fault. If given the opportunity to purchase my car again I would do so but only if it were brand new. I also was not able to purchase the color I wanted because the dealership was out of stock with the color I wanted, but again, not Nissan’s fault, that was the fault of the dealership. Overall, I am very pleased with the truck. It looks great!!

This is a solid car.
I would probably not buy it again. Transmission was a problem, although part of a recall. This meant we didn't pay for most of it, but a lot of tuning required with it. Sometimes it fails to start at first try for no good reason. I do like how it drives and how spacious it is. Compact SUV, which means is small enough to make parking and maneuvering easy, but big enough to be useful in a wide range of circumstances. Drives smooth and handles slippery roads and snow very well. It's an old car, so not a lot of new technology to make driving more fun or comfortable. It's perfect for a family car; you can use trunk for everything related to a child... from diaper changing to an impromptu picnic.

Mixed Feelings
Overall the Rogue is an okay car. It drives well, handles good in all types of weather, and is mostly reliable. My mixed feelings come from the interior of the car. There are no vents in the backseat, which leaves my 6 month old sweating in 90 degree weather and myself freezing in the front seat trying to get the whole car cold. In the winter I am sure it'll be the opposite, with my baby freezing and me sweating. Whoever decided it was a good idea to skip the vents in the back seat should be fired. That's pretty much all I have to say about the Rogue. The newer models are a lot nicer than my year. I may or may not check them out when it's time to purchase a new car. I haven't decided.
