Nissan Rogue SL Car Review (2011)

Nissan Rogue SL Here could be a review of new cars from Nissan, the new Nissan Rogue SL, the car is not a smaller version of Nissan Murano, is technically based on the Nissan Sentra platform. Smaller size SUVs provide such a high seating position and sporty driving. All-new 2011 Nissan Rogue is surprisingly beyond the car drivability and adds practicality of an SUV without sacrificing fuel economy or the cost to enter. Since its introduction as a, model 2008 four years ago, Nissan Rogue has been a great reconciliation for families yearning for cheap crossover that fits your budget. For 2011 Nissan continues to this match with luxury car amenities recently refurbished fashion and some extras too.

Built directly from a car chassis, Nissan Rogue SL has almost nothing in common with a truck. Most manufacturers are swinging aloof from truck-like crossovers, and drawing up the Rogue could be a good thing, particularly when it involves car-like feel, good handling characteristics and good fuel economy.

My new Nissan Rogue SL check car was surprisingly quick for an intersection. traditionally, Nissan has some of the best continuously variable transmissions in the automotive market, that extremely helps power transition, the Rogue’s 170 and one hundred seventy five pounds-feet of torque from its two.5-liter engine 4cyl. The Nissan Rogue has its sweet spots in the power vary, but unfortunately, sometimes, in some delays at highway speeds. initial acceleration is not taken seriously until the CVT decides to go away the engine comes into its power band a few seconds later, that makes alittle to full throttle. The 2011 Nissan Rogue has an estimated 0-60 mph time of 8.6 seconds, that is on par with most of its competition, just like the Honda CR-V, Toyota Rav4 4 cyl, and 4-cylinder Chevy Equinox, for example. A V6 option can be the price tag to form the Rogue the most fascinating to enthusiasts.

The New Nissan Rogue receives further luxury treatment when the acceptable packages are selected. My SL trimmed check vehicle will increase the extent of the base S trim, HID headlights with manual leveling, leather seating surfaces (heated front), auto-dimming mirror view, the climate of self-control, Bose audio system with Bluetooth and GPS navigation, sunroof, and 18-inch alloy wheels.

“Simple” is the middle name of the Nissan Rogue SL is considering as a Nissan-style is subdued during this tiny crossover. whereas Nissan offers a variety of crossover, other offers of ‘lesser’ of the utilitarian Nissan to go away you with a selection of 1 boxy Nissan Cube Juke or funky style. there is little doubt regarding the fashion characteristics of the Rogue has many components taken from other vehicles, just like the Nissan Altima, Murano, and even the 370Z. Those in the market for a crossover style not want boring or overly stated that scream “look at me I’m insecure. What they request {is something|are some things|are a few things} dishonest and Nissan has simply the thing.

My Nissan Rogue SL uploaded has tested an estimated price of $ 28,000, but reserve a beginning price of $ 21,210 for the base model. The Nissan Rogue could also be the clearest selection for someone more conservative, but still satisfies any appetite for a crossover elegant car and economical car.

Manual VS Automatic Cars, Which is Better?

By : Egi Isnaeni

Some people knows the difference between a manual and automatic  transmission based on several factors, but for those who are simply content on driving around without thought about their car's components. Referring to the title above, I will describe which one is better between manual or automatic transmission.

Manual transmission also more comfortable when you drive a car in extreme weather condition.

It doesn't mean manual transmissions much better than automatic transmissions, cars with automatic transmission it's very convenient to operate. Automatic transmission works based on computerizes. The computer decides when the transmission should shift and then delivers an electrical signal to create the shift. By measuring road speed electronically and engine load, a computer system controls the transmission operation.

Another difference between automatic and manual transmission is, manual transmissions use a clutch, automatic use a fluid coupling called a torque converter. 

Consider the Issue of Costs

Automatic transmissions eat up too much fuel, but manual transmission can save at least 10 percent in fuel economy. Besides, in the market prices the automatic transmission ranging from $ 700, and it's quite expensive.

For repair and maintenance costs, manual transmissions appear to be more superior. You can save huge bucks, because they  don't need too much refining. Even if manual transmissions go haywire, they don't cost a lot to get fixed.

Choosing the Right Transmission

So, you shouldn't have to always refers on pros and cons of each opinions, there’s no good choice or bad choice whether you buy a cars with a manual or automatic transmission,  because that is really a matter of your own taste. If you like to minimize your movements while  you're driving in the highway, automatic transmission is your best choice. However, if you want maximum performance, you must to consider choosing a manual transmission to have control over its power.

Finally, before you actually buying a cars, make sure you've already performed a test drive.

By Egi Isnaeni

Sometimes we need the used cars in order to afford them. In this case, there can be many tricks in the whole deal that are unsatisfying overall. You should considered many things when you are trying to find a great value in a used car loan.

First, You should decide is where you are going to buy the used car. You will not have an extended warranty option If you are working with a private seller, and therefore the used car loan will likely have a higher interest rate because many banks consider this a higher risk. If you are in that situation, there are some things you can do to get a better deal. You can speak directly with a company regarding an extended warranty to see if that option is available and you can have the car checked out by a qualified mechanic. You may can get a lower interest rate than normal with a private party, but you must have shown responsibility with the lender on previous loans. They are based on your credit history, employment, and the price of the vehicle. You should have a good standing with your credit history, enough credit history, and proper income for the car payment. You should also make sure to check the value of the car against the selling price. This can help in negotiations as well as get you a better used car loan.
