My mom was in the same boat in December... And in the end we chose the 2012 Nissan rogue sv awd... Basically it has everything Cept the nav.... some more premium features included back up camera, sun roof, 6 speaker, iPod/USB port, blue tooth, heated seats, 18" alloy, fog light...and what not... I would say the cvt is boring but it makes up for it in the mileage... It only requires 87 octane.. And we are averaging 8.9L/100km mostly city.. Which is crazy.... Cuz that is like my corolla mileage lol... To say the least I am impressed and no we don't drive trying to keep the tach below 2000rpm... Just saying

Also cuz Nissan ran out of 2011 models at October last year.. So that why they were doing huge mark downs on their 2012 models... Our Msrp was 32,995 and we managed 27,900 (prices are before taxes) I was gunning for more savings..but in the end they included lifetime oil change service as well (supposedly 600 dollar value)

Lets face it, you are looking a cuv, so sporty will be out of the question... My suggestion is to test drive them all... My mom basically drove crv, rav4, rogue, Rvr, cx5 before making the purchase...

Last thing, rogue has the smallest capacity when the rear seats are folded down.. Go see a rav4 and a rogue back to back and you will see what I mean... But it's big enough..

Feel free to pm me if you want more details... I pretty much did the exact same research you are doing right now.. Good luck
