Some consider the Rogue to be a miniature Murano, but the Rogue offers a more car-like driving experience better suited to city driving and commuting. It's available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and its 4-cylinder engine mated to Nissan's continuously variable transmission (CVT) returns pretty good gas mileage either way. Large storage compartments, an under-floor organizer and fold-flat rear seats make room to haul plenty of gear. A quality interior, smooth ride, array of available equipment and high crash test safety ratings make the Rogue an appealing buy; $1,250 cash back makes it even more so.
