The Rogue is based on the Sentra platform, so it’s not “…basically a taller Altima”.

This happened in Mazatlan, Mexico. I took a drive test last saturday and took it to highway speed and a little more. At about 85 mph I heard a noise that sounded like someone blowing it’s nose hard (in a comic way) like in cartoons, you know. (toooooot!) The noise came twice and afterwards it was time to get off the highway back to Nissan dealership. I’m not much of a car expert but it could it been the CVT gear belts ??
The dealer said he did not hear anything and I’ve been searching for similar reports on the net. I liked the car overall. It wasn’t the 4WD that I wanted but I liked the handling, acceleration and suspension (which is very important in my Maz’ pothole infested streets.

Great comments from Tommaso. Out of the box we were impressed with the Rogue, although my favorite handling compact SUV has been the Mazda CX-7 (so far). Tire noise is easily remedied with a new set of tires. Compare the noise ratings on tirerack.com to find a good set of light truck tires that are much quieter on the road than the Continental Contacts.

I think the engine is great for a small 4 cylinder engine. It’s rev happy like a hyped up honda, but gives great performance even when loaded down. When pushed hard it revs to red line and really gives a good surge of passing power, unlike some small engines that just make a lot of noise and go no where.

It’s handeling is amazingly impressive! This is the best handeling SUV or cross-over I have driver, even rivaling some popular sports cars. It sticks to the road and rides around turns like a firmly planted go-cart. If you didn’t know you would believe you were in a performance vehicle. I didn’t experience much body lean at all and I really gave her on the turns.

The visibility is not very good compared to the competition. It gives up visibility for style, but people that would be interested in this type of cross-over probably won’t find it too much of a deal breaker. Younger buyers will more than likely be attracted to this vehicle and looks is important to this crowd.

The one thing that bothered me the most was tire noise at highway speeds. The car is solid with no creaks or rattles, but the tire noise is loud to the point of being annoyning. I found cranking the tunes on the more than adequet stereo sufficed to elliviate the racket. I don’t know if changing tires will help, but I imagine it would to some extent.

Just some random things I thought I would mention. Some go against what was written in the article and this could be due to a number of things. But I will say I really like this vehicle and if I were in the market for a cross-over this would be it.
