You always have to remember that CR gets money for advertisements.

The CR-V was very disapointing in the crappy cheap plastic used in the car. And it was 2k more then the Rogue.

I did not like the Rav4

Dude, do you like the CVT in the Rogue? From what I have heard from friends who test drove it, they did not like it that much.

It takes some getting used to - I don't think it is any problem at all. I do wait for the gear changes that don't happen

I've driven my mom's Murano extensively and owned a Civic Hybrid. The CVT was weird even after a year of driving it. But in the Civic I would often punch it on on-ramps and get the sensation of a shift with the revs flying up and then leveling off at cruising speed.

nice car G. My friend has it and loves it. Good idea to get the AWD. You'll need it. Hey, since when does Consumer Reports have ads? They don't except any ads. Their revenue is only from subscriptions and donations from individuals.

Can't believe your the only person to point that out.

It does drive very car-like, but higher. It does handle well for a CUV.
