2010 Nissan Rogue SUV SL 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
We Liked It So Much ...
 ... we bought another one ten days later. We read about CVT drone, but find it inconsequential. This is by far the smoothest riding and most comfortable small SUV (we drove 'em all). The engine/transmission provides seamless acceleration and more than adequate power. We have both the SL 2WD Premium and Leather Packages, and still came in at about $22k. Living in TX, we didn't see the need for AWD. The value is outstanding, fit and finish are flawless, and the styling is that of a mini-Murano. I was so impressed with my wife's purchase, I bought one myself. We're still checking mileage, but it appears to be right at EPA estimates. May not be ideal for larger families, but it works for us.
