I drove one (SL awd with awd package) and I loved it!
The looks from the outside aren't that great- I think it looks like a minivan. However, the interior is great with all of the ammenities that I will ever need when I'm driving. The engine is a little loud (especially since its a 4 cylinder) but that may be because it's new.
The paddles on the steering wheel are nice to have, but kind of pointless because the transmission is CVT, not gears.

I loved the car and I think that it's the best mini SUV out there because the honda just sucks and the rav4 is nice, but nothing to the rogue.

 

I think the rogue is a nice, cheaper alternative to the Murano. They are selling like crazy here.

 

yeah, a lot of the lines are just like the murano. It drives kind of like it too-sporty and smooth.
I think that this will be the best selling 2008 small SUV

 

Yes... Test driven and purchased one (SL AWD premiun package... a friend asked me what aSLAWD was).I've got ~500 snowy, icy, northeast miles on is and have no complaints so far... how much can you complain about a brand new car? I still haven't fully adjusted to close quarters reverse maneuvers with the tiny back and rear side windows. Huge blind spots!!!

 

Ihave had minefor 3 monthsnow and I love it.Ithink the enginecan be noisybecause of the CVT butI find that if Iback off on the gas peddleuntil I reachabout 40 mph then its not bad at all. I like the look of mine (its black) and I have had several peoplecomment on what a nice looking car it is. I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee before this whichIloved driving but the Rogue is much easier to handle and obviously much more economical on gas.
