When I purchased this vehicle, I asked for one that doesn't depreciate quickly. Hah! That sales lady had one over on me right away. Then 3 months after buying it, the rear drivers door body molding caught on the front drivers door molding and ripped part way off. By the way, that's NOT under warrenty. It started getting colder and I found out that the heater wasn't working properly. It took 5 years to fix it so it worked. By that time i was looking at buying another vehicle. I would hit bumps and the whole vehicle would shut down, I had to park it and restart it more than once. My husband bought a new truck and it started messing up right away too. We used to be firm General Motors (Chev, GM) people but after these problems, and some trouble with the sales and service people, I will never buy another GM vehicle again.

When I decide to purchase a vehicle I narrowed it down to the Jeep Compass, Honda CRV and Nissan Rogue. The others were either unappealing to my eye or too dang expensive. When test driving, the Compass fell out of the running immediately. I found the CRV to be a little loosy goosy, and this was the deciding factor for me. The Nissan Rogue was well put together and I felt the safest driving it in winter conditions.
