2009 Nissan Rogue
The 2009 Nissan Rogue was the second year of the model being manufactured. Therefore, since it was such a new model it did not have many changes from year to year. However, that does not mean that the Rogue was a failure in 2009, in fact it was the exact opposite. Those that were looking for a quality compact SUV would find what they were looking for plus everything that they had yet to think of when it comes to the 2009 Rogue.
The professionals who viewed this vehicle upon its release noted that among the many reasons to purchase 2009 Nissan Rogue would be the fuel mileage and the accommodation for cargo and passengers. However, on the downside they noted that the acceleration was not all that they had hoped for, though there is little expectations for SUV's, since they are a family vehicle, not a sports car.
The driving of the vehicle is one that has received quite a few high remarks from those that have tested and own the 2009 Rogue. The SUV does an excellent job of getting up and go when around town making shorts stops and so forth. However, on the highway it does take it a bit longer to get up the speed that it may need to pass people when going over seventy miles per hour. However, with that being said, it is still considered one of the best in its class of SUV's. The handling in the Rogue is what people expect of typical SUV. If taking corners to fast, the chances increase of having a roll over, which is common of any kind of vehicle that is considered top heavy. However, when taking curves at recommended speeds, the Rogue responds with grace. The steering is adequate and the driver can really feel as if they are in control of the SUV at all times.
The braking is a little touchy in the sportier models of the Rogue. However, for the basic model, people found that the SUV braked with just enough power to make it not a jerky kind of feeling. With adequate timing, the brakes stop find and can stop on the dime if the person needs to in order to avoid an obstacle in the roadway.
One of the best features about the 2009 Nissan Rogue is that it allows for people to have a comfortable ride. The seats are made to accommodate passengers and driver on a long journey. Those that are extremely tall may find that it is difficult to have the leg room that they are wanting. But the average adult is going to have plenty of room, even if they choose the sunroof option on the SUV. And those in the back will not be complaining of tight quarters either.
Overall, the Rogue was a great buy for those looking for a smaller SUV with plenty of options and a sleek and classy look. The price was right for the majority of people, thus why it was such a popular seller and one that many people would choose again. For more information on the top cars of 2009 visit asmc09.org.
