Reader Review of the Week: 2008 Nissan Rogue

We love hearing reader feedback on just-introduced models. Judging by the countless TV commercials and high traffic on Cars.com, we know the new Nissan Rogue is one of those new vehicles that have people intrigued. That’s why we’ve singled out a Miami resident who picked up a new all-wheel-drive Rogue SL, in black, for this week’s no-prize-attached award. As always, you can leave your own car reviews here.

“I purchased the AWD SL version in black with a black leather interior. I added all the bells and whistles as options to the car, and it rocks! When I went to pick it up in the showroom, there was a crowd of people surrounding it. It is a show-stopper!

“My favorite thing about this car is the Bluetooth integration. I love being able to make calls from the car through voice activation. It has never confused a command I speak or gotten a number wrong when I speak to it.

“The leather interior is flawless. You have as much legroom in the back seat as the front. I also love the fact that the glove box is big enough for a laptop. The ride is a bit rougher than I expected. My other car is a 2005 Jetta turbo with a six-speed manual transmission. This car has a little less power, it seems, but still plenty to keep me happy.

“Don’t believe the reviews that say this car does not have the option for power seats. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the driver’s side seat is powered. Also my seats are heated, but I don’t expect to use this option here in South Florida!

“I would like to see the onboard computer be a little easier to navigate. The one on my Jetta was super-easy to see mpg, etc. This one is a bit tougher to coordinate. Hopefully there is a trick that I’m missing. I’d also like to be able to change the readings from the steering wheel, not by pressing the thing on the dash behind the wheel. This is a bit clumsy, but again I could be missing something here.

“This car is great.”
