I purchased my 2009 Nissan Rogue in 2012 from a local Nissan dealership. Within the first 10 months, the car performed well. We were getting great gas mileage, along with adequate storage. However, we've had to replace the battery and the passenger door broke (the cable inside the door, thus rendering the outside handle of the door useless), both which have added up to costly repairs. The stereo is exceptional, as are the heated leather seats. Other than the battery and the door handle there have been no other mechanical failures. We would most likely hold off on purchasing another Nissan, unless the door handle issue is resolved by the dealership from which we purchased the vehicle. One of the biggest advantages of the Rogue is the gas mileage. This vehicle could easily get upwards of 25 MPG, which is fantastic for a compact SUV. The trunk, although small, offers storage compatible with a larger vehicle. Overall, I would highly recommend the Rogue as a family vehicle.
