 Coming from 2010 Ford Escape xlt, fwd, 4 cyl, to a 2012 Rogue SV.The Rogue's quality of materials feel much better than the Escape.Also drives more like a car and much quieter.In the past week, I've put it through nearly 3000 kms.I'm on the road a lot.I like the CVT when at highway speed and having to pass.Very smooth.It is a bit unusual when getting up to speed from the on-ramp but, I think it's pretty easy to get used to.Feels planted and tracks well.
