I recently bought a 2008 Rogue SL AWD, and traded in a 2006 Nissan Altima. The Rogue has less cargo space and interior room. I also can't sit in the passenger seat without hitting my head on the ceiling since I'm about 6 feet tall and have a child seat behind me.
On the plus side, the MP3 stereo, bluetooth integration, window tint, and HID headlights are all nicely done. Also, it's comfortable (except for the passenger seat if you're tall) and drives just like a car.
The paddle shifters are a joke on a underpowered engine w/ CVT, but at least it's still a bit faster than a 1.8l Civic.

Updates: I moved the rear-facing child seat to behind the driver which helps the headroom problem alot. This also seems to make it easier to fold the seat down for extra cargo space.
I found there are some decent roof and trailer hitch storage options available that fit the Rogue.
Found dealer stabbed screws into the front bumper for lic plate, but read that's a common practice.
Still getting 20mpg after our 2nd fillup. For a recent long highway trip we got 24.5MPG.
We also found that the hatch will dump water into the cabin if you're not careful when opening it. And when driving over 62MPH, the front end make a whistling/honking noise when it's a windy day.
The rear wiper stopped working a few weeks ago. The car has 9400miles on it! Actually it has a mind of it's own now and will turn itself on and off regardless of what position the switch is in..
