 When doing my research for this size of SUV I narrowed it down to the Rouge, Cherokee and the Forester (the 14 CRV was not nice like the new model so I didn't like it).  I should have gone with either of the other two.  I liked the Rogue because of the all around camera system, the divide and hide trunk, the panoramic sunroof, the mpg and the price, so I drove about 3 hours to go get the last one in California with the features I wanted.  After the test drive, the negotiations, and the paper work they pulled up my new car and as I was getting in I just happened to notice the door sill plate was loose.  The mechanic checked it out and and said it was the plastic connector and pushed it back into place- at this point I should have changed my mind and left- but I didn't, I thought it was just a little piece and I was too excited, so I took the car... I didnt know that was a prelude of continual cheap pieces on the car.Not long after, the molding on the driver side car was so loose I could see through it to the windshield- had to be replaced. The steering wheel had loose plastic pieces that felt like they were about to come off- had to be replaced.  The passenger side window has roller marks on it every time I roll it up and down- worked on twice still leaves small marks and now that window goes down a lot slower than the drivers side.  The front seat needed to be fixed because a spring was  popping against the fabric and about to come through it- had to be fixed.  The stereo navigation system kept freezing up repeatedly and wouldn't come back on until I shut down the car, left it for a while and then restarted it- had to be replaced ( when they replaced the stereo they damaged the trim all around it and by the shifter- so they had to be replaced, then when they replaced those trim pieces they made the drivers seat grind when adjusted- currently being fixed). Multiple pieces of molding have come off that I just put back on.  The current issue is the beautiful panoramic sunroof, it leaks like a waterfall right between the two panes of glass onto the metal track the sunroof rolls back on and the only reason I noticed it was because I was in a cool car wash and was taking pictures as I sat going through the machine- who knows how long that has been happening and what other damage it has caused. To make matters worse when I took into Nissan they checked it out and the service rep comes out and says "yes" it is a faulty seal and needs to be replaced, as he says this the car drives up after they ran it through their high pressure wash thus getting water on the seats...  Another reason I liked the car was the mpg.  I think it was 2nd maybe third in the specs of other cars the same style but according to the mpg meter on the car I don't come anywhere near the stated specs except on long downhill rides. Something others pointed out is yes the car is loud, when going uphill or pressing hard on the accelerator- to be honest I kinda like it, sounds "throaty" but is also annoying at other times. If you plan to haul a lot of stuff like friends and camping gear or just have big friends, the car gets really, really sluggish, and the suspension gets really low and the car does not seem happy at all.
