How do you like the Rogue? It's on my lists of considerables for my next vehicle (will be a family vehicle as we're looking to have kids, but we also have a large dog).

I love it. It's basically an Altima with extra room. The engine is powerful enough for someone used to a Yaris but if you load it up with people or things it slows it considerably. I will say I expected better mpg but I drive very aggressively. I get around 20-25mpg. But I got it for the extra room and the AWD which I am happy with. For a 20ish thousand dollar car it looks nice, is fun to drive and does what I need it to.

You'll have plenty of room for your kids in the back and plenty of room for your dog in the far back.

Pros
Looks okay
good storage space
adequate power
good handling
Paddle shifters are fun

Cons
Some big things still don't fit
Not a V6
Not great mpg for a 4Cyl
Roof rack can only support 100lbs.
