Nissan Rogue: First Impressions

Last night I went out and picked up my new Nissan Rogue. It started early when the insurance company called and confirmed adding it to my policy. So I was glad to have that potential snag taken care of early on. Then we (we being my mom and I) went over to the bank where I had my Civic's loan at to pay off the final payment. So for a grand total of 5 hours, I was the owner of a totally paid off vehicle.

We headed out to the dealer right after work (and man, was that a long day) to begin the process of signing stuff. Unfortunately, the address on my drivers license is wrong (which I noticed Saturday), so a lot of the documents had the wrong address on it. I believe we got that all corrected and I need to go visit the happy fun DMV in order to get it changed on my license. Sigh.

Anyway, the car is great. I'm 100% satisfied right now. It drives well, very smooth ride. The road noise is really quiet as well. I'll probably post more later (with pictures) but just a couple things I want to mention. The stereo is all kinds of awesomeness. Very good sound quality which was something I was looking for since I tend to do a lot of music listening in the car.

Also, the bluetooth headset system works really, really well. I did some testing of it last night. Whenever I get into my Rogue and turn the car on, my blackberry automatically hooks up with the car. If someone calls the radio/cd stops playing and the stereo "rings". I hit a button on the steering wheel to answer and all the sound comes through the car speakers and I can just talk. Apparently it sounds really good from the other end too. I can also call people using voice commands.

There will be more later…
