I haven't had issues with my 2011 Rogue. It's almost got 10k on it, not sure what problems you're talking about. Some of the earlier Rogues, had problems with their CVT transmission, but Nissan has addressed that issue. Just get out there and test-drive them all, and get what you like. I would like to add, the Rogue handles great in the snow. Have you guys looked into the Nissan Juke? It's a fun little SUV, that has a turbo on it.
