coolerdude - No issues with the CVT. Also, no noise - it is actually very quiet. Go test drive one and check it out.

My car is a 4-cylinder -- in the past I've driven a 6 -- so there a bit of a difference in the pick up -- but -- not enough to warrant any complaints from me.

I heard that outward visablity is an issue with this car. Do you find that to be an issue as well? its a toss-up for me between the suberu forester and the rogue.

[kaylot]

Not a problem for me. The rear window is a bit smaller than most our used to, but hey, that's why the DMV drivers guide says to look over you shoulder while changing lanes.

Thanks for the video. I am looking at an SL AWD with the leather, premium package, and moonroof. I can't decide if I want black or silver. Is that black tough to keep clean?

[kaylot]

Yes, the black is hard to keep clean (like any black vehicle). I take it in to get handwashed every week. Plus I have to keep it on the street, as I don't have a garage.

How are you liking this car after having it a few months? I am getting ready to sign on the dotted line after reading a lot about it and taking it for a nice test drive - the girlfriend likes it, I like it, but a forty five minute test drive is not the same as having it for a few months. Still loving it?

[kaylot]

OMFG dude, 45-minute test drive?????!?!?!?? I drove it for like 10 minutes, worked the dealers against one another, and then bought it! You like it, get it -- but don't sound interested when you approach a dealer or you are going to pay out the you know what!

im waiting to get the 2011 mitsubishi outlander sport its different and it has better fuel economy estimated 23/31 mp

How much did you purchase this car for? What was the total price?

I'm debating over a Nissan Rogue or the Hyundai Tucson.

Thank you.

@kaylot they actually make noise, when ur rpm's are low and ur cruisin, at certain speeds they rumble, u can feel the vibration in the steering wheel and car. also makes a low rumbling noise, but they recently recalled the rogue to update the software on the engine and CVT transmission and after that, MUCH quieter. i dunno if this for nissan including states, but they recently upgraded the tranny warranty to 200,000km 10 year for the CVT. just to show they are confident about their transmission.

My aunt bought one of theses brand new and it's the sl but It sounds like it's turboed or supercharged but I know it's not I can't figure it out. I drove it and it drives fine and sounds badass but when I floor it and the revs get hight it sounds like it goes into boost lol it wines but Ik its NA.

[coolerdude44]

i'm thinking of buying one, but i hear the cvt ruins it. is the engine excessively noisy because of it? and does it feel like torque is restricted? that's the only thing keeping me from bying it.

[jordiekjo]

have the same in pearl white, LOVE IT!!!! Fun to drive, good on gas, unique, reliable, smooth, what more could you ask for in a new vehicle?!?!

[Mikefx3508]

Yup, i have a black FX and it get dirty quickly. And every little scratch shows up.

[Mikefx3508]

Nice! This looks soo similar to the Murano the sides and front. The back is nicer than the murano.

[gaae2000]

what about bumper protection?...if u hit those so call bumpers ur pretty much damagin the car itself.
