Pros: What do you like about 2011 Nissan Rogue?
Bought SV AWD.
Gas Mileage Great between 22-32.
Ride and handles GREAT.
Great body style.
Sound system good, but not great.
GPS big plus, but set to low in dash.
Cons: How would you improve 2011 Nissan Rogue?
Move gas fill to left side.
Allow camera function other than in backup mode - would help to eliminate blind spots when passing on highway.
Offer heated seats with cloth.
Better sound proofing.
Offer diesel engine for US market.
Add center seatbelt at seat level, not retractable.
Turn signal built into mirrors.
Add power port in rear area, inside armrest area does not make sense.
2011 Nissan Rogue Review:
Only have had car 1 month with 700 miles. Bought for wife who likes sitting high and the security of AWD.
So far very pleased with overall performance. No problem merging into highway traffic. Very smooth ride, but engine drone is present with CVT.
Traded 2011 Kia Sorento for Rogue. Lost lots of storage space, and some other comfort functions, but much better ride and gas mileage, worth trade. Sometimes it is the little things that drive us nuts.
As mentioned above allow stand alone camera function to help with blind spots during highway driving. Gas cap on right side is a pain. There is to much room taken up on gauge readout, where multiply functions could be displayed in this area. Add gallons remaining feature.

Pros: What do you like about 2011 Nissan Rogue?
Gas Mileage with the AWD is great, so far averaging about 26 in out normal every day driving. So looking forward to what we might get on a trip!
The 4 cylinder was a big FEAR factor for me but combined with the CVT many times in my 2 and 1/2 weeks of driving it, I looked down to find myself well above the posted speed limits.
Cons: How would you improve 2011 Nissan Rogue?
For the price could have a more plush interior. Lots of plastic.
Could use more storage. The center console sits back a bit far for shorter drivers who have to place the seat a bit more forward.
If it's supposed to be a "baby" Murano, it could have a few nicer standard features.
Keyless ignition is a plus but never leave it running and walk away because the car will still function even without the "fob".
2011 Nissan Rogue Review:
For the most part, we are very impressed with our purchase. We also drove the GMC Terrain and for the money feel we made the right choice. We have only had the Rogue for just over 2 weeks and haven't had the chance to drive it in the snow etc.
With gas creeping up we are loving the gas mileage. With our Buick Rendezvous, we were lucky to get 19 MPG. It does still look tiny in our garage compared to the Buick!

Pros: What do you like about 2011 Nissan Rogue?
The styling, both exterior and interior is very good.
Everything is tight in fit and comfortable to drive in.
The 2.5L engine exhibits good pickup and is very smooth when cruising.
Handling is excellent; crisp maneuvering in traffic and has a tight turning circle, making parking a breeze.
All controls are at-hand and easy to use.
My daughter and I are arthritic and neither of us have a problem entering or exiting the vehicle from the front or rear seats.
Some features that were optional in the 2010 model are standard in the 2011s.
Cons: How would you improve 2011 Nissan Rogue?
If the car is purchased during the winter months in the northern states and in Canada, it should come with snow tires.
A locking gas cap would be good as well as a higher temperature coming from the heater.
There seems to be a lot of wind noise at cruising speeds. I have some ideas why this may be so but cannot confirm them.
2011 Nissan Rogue Review:
Over-all, we are very happy with the Rogue S, but not having had it long enough, cannot comment on mileage or durability. I am still apprehensive about the CVT but it is performing to my satisfaction at this time.

Pros: What do you like about 2011 Nissan Rogue?
I bought a new 2012 Rogue.
Love the inside space - its wide with lots of leg space and the back seat is very nice.
It handles great in the mountains and traffic.
Cons: How would you improve 2011 Nissan Rogue?
That transmission is bad. At times it feels like you're starting on second gear! For being a slow (dog) vehicle, the true gas mileage is very poor (street is 19mpg hwy is 23mpg). If you drive it faster then 75mph, the gas mileage is even worse. In heavy traffic that transmission doesn't do well at all.
A lot of road noise inside - sounds like you have a open window.
2011 Nissan Rogue Review:
That transmission with that gas mileage needs improvement. It's kind of like back in late 70's early 80's days when they came out with those small motors for these heavy vehicles.

Pros: What do you like about 2011 Nissan Rogue?
Nice looking auto.
Seems to have enough power for me.
Cons: How would you improve 2011 Nissan Rogue?
There is a very distracting reflection/glare that looks like an arch in the driver side window on sunny days. Seems to be a design defect.
2011 Nissan Rogue Review:
Not satisfied with the dealer or manufacturer response to my window glare/reflection problem. They should model the Murano dash layout.

2011 Nissan Rogue Review:
Very quiet ride, great mileage (averaging 27.5 for first month).
Handles like a car which I really like.
Love the styling.
Really like the CVT, don't miss feeling the tranny shifting at all.
I got the AWD S model, wanted a simple commuter car that would handle the snow (I live in the snow belt east of Cleveland, & got stuck in my driveway last year in my Odyssey) and this was a great combination of an SUV & a sedan.

Pros: What do you like about 2011 Nissan Rogue?
Like the overall design.
AWD is great.
Good MPG.
Front seats are nice.
Cons: How would you improve 2011 Nissan Rogue?
Provide a working gas cap lock if there is no lock cover for the tank. I look every where, so far there isn't a gas cap lock that works for 2011 Nissan Rogue. Not anytime soon anyway.
Reduce road noise.
Would appreciate a free Navi upgrade, if not at least a BlueTooth upgrade.
Slightly bigger back seats would be nice.
2011 Nissan Rogue Review:
Overall a fine car, with great performance and safety feature.
Only flaw, I have to say; no locking fuel tank cover; major design flaw. The problem with that is as of yet, there isn't a gas cap lock available for 2011 Nissan Rogue. In the event your gas tank was vandalized or kids just being kids; taking your gas cap or even worse putting something in your tank. It can damage your engines. No problem if your warranty is in effect, just bad for Nissan to fix or even replace your engine and not to mention a big waste of your time.
One thing I do not understand is why did Nissan not catch such obvious design flaw. Did they not know that currently there aren't any gas cap lock made to fit for 2011 Nissan Rogue. Currently there are only gas cap lock made to fit up to 2010 model, but not to 2011.

Pros: What do you like about 2011 Nissan Rogue?
It has a really nice looking on the outside and the inside feels very comfortable. Nice to sit up high. So far I'm happy with it, just wondering how it's going to be in winter time.
Cons: How would you improve 2011 Nissan Rogue?
Make it more quiet, when going on high speed the road noise bothers me a lot!!
2011 Nissan Rogue Review:
Very good on gas. I'm getting 27 to 28 mpg. when not driving on too much traffic.
