we night shift and cokeheads appreciate these early morning uploads

Even though this is just a cheap crossover we all hate, you of course still put your time and effort into making a high quality video Mr. Geese you are awesome👏

It’s a straight forward car that takes you to points A to B, good gas mileage and minimal repair service if you take care of it. 🚗 obviously, this is not a race car with monster horse power. Simple👍🏼 However, I do wish Nissan could bring back the traditional transmission like in the good old days.

As soon as the shift boot "fell off" I was done. Love Mr. Goose and what he does with these reviews but that one line was a killer and he is 100% spot on - "There is no excuse for that." Exactly. Next!

My girlfriend, LaShania, is always looking for a compromise between ride quality and stiffness.

Love the Muffler rusting up on a new car. This is why I love the under car view

Drove one of these for three weeks while my 2004 Toyota Matrix was getting body work done. Now, maybe it was because I had been driving a fifteen year old car, but I thought the ride on this thing was excellent, and I also loved the steering dynamics. It made me feel like I had been driving a "Flintstones" car by comparison. And even though it's not a "full sized" SUV, it does give you that "commanding" up high sitting position. Bottom line, if you do most of your driving around town, and you are not a car "aficionado", you will probably love this car. I did. I ended up buying a Jeep Renegade because I wanted a manual trans, and I was a bit scared off about the reputation that this vehicle had with it's CVT, which the reviewer mentioned, they've had enormous quality control issues with it for many years. But that being said, I thought it had a stellar ride, and I thought the interior was very nice also.

I think you are on point with the reason people buy this thing, it's the same in Europe. With reviews like this, it really shows how good you do your job! It's easy to talk about a nice and powerful car, but this is an appliance and you did a good job showing it for what it is!

Drove several Qashqais in Europe (same car), but all of ours were diesel and had a 3rd pedal. Lots of slop in the shifter linkage, but otherwise I enjoyed the car. Great range, comfortable seats (in the front anyway). I ended up renting one while driving through Poland, and it was a normal gas engine (still a manual, at least). It had zero power and the clutch was terrible. The diesel/manual combo is definitely the way to go and would have put a smile on your face for all the reasons you mentioned why you actually liked the car. Good driving dynamics, button/control placement is good, visibility was great, and ours even had a usable (albeit low-res) 360/birdseye system.

I like how having physical buttons for HVAC controls is a cool feature in the current year.

Manufactures need to stop using the word "SPORT" for their slower model vehicles.

I had a Nissan Rogue 2017 and traded it in for a 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport! Best Move Ever! I love having a smaller version with all the bells and whistles of technology! I drove it from WA State to Florida, 2300 miles. The GPS is awesome! This car is awesomeness! Much easier to handle than my Rogue, much better equipped for my needs!

Gosh, your driving impression is right on the money. My wife and I rented this car for one day, 1400 mile road trip. My wife likes the steering effort level where she doesn't have to correct constantly on the highway. This car made her better driver. Keep up the great work!

The cinematography right at the beginning made the car look really nice. Impressive!

Don't have time to watch it yet but a quick thumbs up because I already know the review will be excellent whether the SUV is good or bad.

These videos are always a pleasure. Even on cars I don't care about.

Just got mine yesterday. Love it.

I work for Enterprise and I can't even begin to describe how popular these cars are. People will ask for the Rouge and Rouge Sport over any other car we offer. Just the other day someone asked for a Rouge instead of the BMW X3 I offered them. Not to mention I am constantly sending customers over to the sales department because they want to buy a Rouge. This is one of the most popular crossovers on the market right now, and I just don't get it.

Great Post Goose! Rented a 19' Maxima last week w/ a cvt and I concur with the remarks about the rubbish cvt. At any rolling speed full throttle takes 3 seconds to apply any forward motion.

I completely agree with his description of the Nissan CVT. I drove a friends Sentra and it had no power over mountains (live in PA) and I thought it was going to blow up quite a few times. I currently have a 2005 Altima, which was before they switched to CVTs and it’s been a pretty good car, however, I won’t be a returning customer while these transmissions are being used.

Thank you for not looking at this vehicle as a car enthusiast. I drove a '18 rogue last year and from an enthusiast perspective, this thing does absolutely nothing for me. However, I can see with the tech and space that why they sell so many of these. Me beating on it, I hated the CVT. My dad drove it like an old man, and he didn't mind it so much.

all your videos are helpful 👌

The stare into the camera after the CVT shot got me 😂

Great video with class and smarts

Status: Transmission went out at 65k

That intro was so good.

Today's market sounds like the CVT's & Direct Injection have removed the fun & reliability factors to me. Always enjoy your videos. ~ from Texas, RC

This was an honest opinion and very truthful.

I agree I just got a rogue. Sport 2019 the driving seat feels so natural like if I was driving my versa before

nice review like usual! can you review the 2019 Toyota RAV4 (pref the Hybrid). Thanks boss

Another great video goose

I had a normal rogue as a rental. It was fine. Absolutely gutless though.

BTW very nice doubled circular polarized filters! 😍

Nissan Qashqai Pre Facelift in Europe. Here now with a 1.330 ccm Motor from the new Mercedes A-Class. Crazy globalised Car world.

The rogue is like a grocery store's house brand wheat flake cereal.

Great Video

Great intro

I think so many people buy these is simply the marketing. Something is always on sale and prices usually priced below MSRP. I hope to believe the people that buy these are just those that don't know any better and haven't tried all options in the market. Great review as always!

I really appreciate the honesty without hyperbole of these reviews, while gross hyperbole is still ever present in the comment sections...

Long time watcher, Can you please review the Buick Regal Sportback I haven’t seen much out there for reviews on it

Mark, thank you for the review. Since you can't completely turn off the infotainment screen, would you just recommend, slapping a few layers of Gorilla Tape on it?

"Some of the quality is not so good here". Gee, what else would you expect from Nissan in the current year?

Coming near to you soon chilling in passing lane!

The Budweiser of cars.

Good video about an average car. Do the Ford Escape like that next time :D - also the 360 camera bits were awesome, felt like I was tripping. This Nissan is only good with a manual and a diesel engine. Other than that it is a grocery getter and nothing more.

loved the bathroom segment

How dare you promise me a bathroom segment with Jack Singapore and not deliver? I am offended.

Great videos man, the best! Could you do a review on Seat Ateca Cupra?

Lots of people don’t find driving fun. It’s just a necessity for so many people, none of which are watching KZfaq car reviews. And for them, a Rogue is perfect. It’s just the best vehicle for anyone who doesn’t care about fun while driving.

I love the rust on the underside. Looks quality 🙄🤦‍♂️😑

Off-Topic: Would be interested in a review of a 2019 Challenger Scat Pack Widebody w/ 6 Speed. Hopefully some time on-track. Thinking about one as a daily/weekend HPDE car. Used GT350s are a little more expensive.

Would love to see a review on the 2019 Rav4 Hybrid? Please!

I can't think of another channel that is both not paid off by the companies providing the cars and that provides such an in-depth review of regular cars for normal people.

How does this compare to the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport? Looking for simplicity and reliability

Can you make an episode on the Veloster N? I'm curious on your thoughts on that.

Soccer moms will love this Rogue!!

These cars symbolize the economic decline.

Hey savage will you do the base s model with the 6spd manual transmission? This might be only available in canada though, not sure.

Here in Canada they call it a Qashqai(Cash-Kai). I don’t get the Sport naming.

In Europe it's called Nissan QASHQAI and it's the "facelift" model. I looked it up and in some countries it looks like they ditched the 1.2 & 1.6 turbo engines for the 1.3 l turbo (Renault-Daimler Alliance engine).

Thanks for the great review. Very accurate. I own this same vehicle but black 2018.5 model. Nice vehicle but sorely underpowered. Should have 175 HP and 2017, 2018 SL Premium package should have automatic dimming rear view mirror, electric passenger seat, Bose stereo, driver seat memory. These features are now added to the 2020 model. This is no cheap vehicle, fully loaded with some dealer added items like mud guards, rear bumper protector and door & hood film guards the vehicle is around $35K. I now think I should have gotten a fully loaded CRV or larger Rogue for the money. Thanks for the great review. Very accurate. Nimble through a major city and easy to fit in parking spaces of all sorts. I put dealership installed Continental Extreme Contact DWS Ultra High Performance tires on and it improved the handling much better than the stock Bridgestone Ecopias, especially in the rain. Had a Hyundai Tucson rental for 2 weeks and I like the Nissan Rogue Sport much better in all ways.

I bought an earlier version and it has similar issues. The engine has some but not enough power and the transmission works ok, but not great. That was after driving a new one with all options and it was great, but the transmission was all over the place. They are the cars for rentals and town drivers, so they suit my needs.

I see tons of regular Rogues just up the road in SE Wisconsin, but hardly any Rogue Sports. I think the Sport makes the most sense in the cheaper S or SV trim levels, especially with FWD instead of AWD. I'm kinda surprised that Mr. Goose didn't knock them for including those massive wheels and low profile tires on this particular vehicle. Last but not least, I hope that SG can review a Nissan Kicks this year.

Im renting one right now. Drove from Modesto to Los Angeles and its been smooth and efficient on the freeway. Awesome on gas. But the sound system sucks. You can't change songs on a cd while driving. The steering wheel won't extend so you have to reach the whole time vs adjusting to your liking.

Good short review of this Nissan Product. Never a fan of those CVT vehicles. Again, who makes a good CVT for any vehicle? Honda, Toyota and others make them but they have similar issues. Also, the comment about all the junk they are putting on top of one's steering wheel, hit home. God, have you seen or driven the Kia Sorento suv. All the buttons on the steering wheel make the cruise control unusable. Hands always hitting it. And the radio button is all wrong. Appreciate if you would do a test drive of the 2019 Kia Sorento and add your astute insights.

Awesome review. I saw one of these yesterday and I think it was sharp looking. Then I watched a few reviews and they all say the same thing, blaahhhhhh. it’s a shame they downgraded the engine otherwise it might have actually been sporty being that it’s smaller. Oh well, not for me. Not that Nissan cares since the sales are huge....

I couldn’t decide between the rogue sport and the Subaru crosstrek. After test driving them I picked the rogue sport because the steering on the crosstrek was too responsive and I was afraid I was going to get carsick driving it. Sometimes I wish I had gotten over my fear of driving bigger cars and test drove the rogue.

Please test the Hyundai Kona AWD 1.6T Ultimate.

Nissans, their automatic transmissions are garbage. Oops, wrong KZfaq channel. 😎

Was just in a work road trip rental of one of these, my comments: 1. Too much road noise in back seats. 2. I think suspension tuning was too bouncy (sitting in the rear), trying to use my phone required two hands to stabilize it even with 4 adults loaded into it. 3. Rear seats not good for 2-3 hour rides for adults, my buns were not happy. My ass was happier on a 70 mile bike ride yesterday. 4. No power ports in the rear. My 1996 Grand Voyager had that! 5. I did like the CVT programming. At one point when it was floored it seemed to hold RPM at peak power. 6. Nissan road noise is kinda high imo, was similar to a friends 2018 Sentra.

Nice video again. The main problem of Nissan is they are the Japanese Chrysler. They are good short time rental vehicule but you can't buy one thinking you will keep it for 10 years. Just look at the road and see how many old nissan you see vs other car brand. You will see way more older toyota, honda, Nissan, Huyndai than Nissan. If you know cars well enough, just go near a high traffic road and count the number of car you know they are about 10 years old by brands. You will see that not many of them are Nissan, if at all. And the sad things that should not break on these cars break. They just cheap out stuff. It's probably good cars to rent for 3-5 years but do not plan on owning one long term.

Isn't this built on a Versa platform? More cargo space than the Kona, still has a CD player too. Called the Qashqai in Canada, seeing a lot of them lately. They sell them in funky colours to hide the bland.

With rebates available you can get a Rogue SL for $31k OTD where I live in florida

Car comes with a CD player! awesome

I had one of these for a rental and I was actually stressed out when I tried pushing it to 75mph. It was painful. Otherwise it was amazingly comfortable.

I hope you can do a hyundai veloster n review soon

Would love to see a review of the Tesla Model 3. You're after all the best car reviewer.

If the Rogue is not designed to stand out then I suspect Nissan is experimenting with irony.

I watched this video for the outro only.

What is that black thing on the roof? What year is this?

I think this is the first time i've seen a dude driving a nissan rogue

I just rented one for a few days, just my personal takes. Pro: as a rental, it has lots of the features i didn't expect. Propilot assist, 360 camera(although very low quality that i find it useless), parking sensors and i guess it being a crossover Con:Acceleration is sloooooooow, like it goes 0-100kmh in 12 seconds slow Handling is meh to the best, maybe its because i drive more aggressively than other people, but the suspension just feels too soft and unsupportive to me the brakes are kind of weird if you do any emergency braking, it feels like cornstarch, where if you step on it quickly there is more resistance and almost feels like stepping on a stone. Also for some reason, if you try to accelerate after hard braking it will limit RPM in the 2k range for the "1st gear", making 0-100kmh to like 17 seconds I also find that the road noise a little too much, as I need to increase my voice to communicate with passengers compare to other vehicles. Fuel economy is also not very good, I average around 10.8L/100km on the highway. For comparison, my RX350 3.5L NA engine gets around 12.5L/100km, and the Golf rental I got(i know its a hatch) gets around 7-8L/100km Personally, I would just take a Corolla or Civic hatch and rent a bigger car for the days I actually need the space.

This is the Nissan Qashqai in most markets. Pronounced by Nissan as Cash-Cow.

I’m confused is it a 2020 or 2019? I’m surprised that the rental car I have is 2019

Need the new hat with the bear, any eta?

Nail in the tire at 6:20?

Great channel, but why so many suv's reviews latelly?

People bash on this thing for having a $30k+ sticker, but it's a Nissan. They usually run really competitive incentives, plus you'll be able to pick one up in 1-2 years for under $20k. Yeah the CVT is garbage and it's underpowered, but for someone just wanting a basic crossover with a decent amount of tech, it's not as bad as people make it out to be.

Rogue Sport 2.0 liter or Outlander Sport 2.0 liter?

The Qashqai (the name used everywhere else except the USA) is a nice ride - I like it more than the standard Rogue. My primary concern however is still that Jatco Xtronic CVT which I do not trust to hold up over long term. I do actually enjoy driving it and see what it is popular among regular car buyers, but for the most "into cars" kind of buyer this isn't really anything special.

Amazing that the same company that made the awesome '86 Nissan Maxima my father had when I was a kid makes such unoriginal transportation boxes like this now. Heck, his final car was an '09 Altima (with CVT) and after he passed away none of us wanted the thing because it was such a soul-less snoozefest of a vehicle.

Turning off will two light red and green stay on

When does this new car have rust all over underneath?

My boss at my old job had one of these which I drove regularly. I could never understand why anyone would buy one. It was sooo slow, struggled to go up hills and the steering had tons of play in it. It was a brand new car but it drove like it was an old worn out car from the 1990's. The ride was relatively smooth though.

Couldn’t fathom buying this over the new Mazda 3 AWD hatch. Probably would have more cargo space, too. It’s a much nicer vehicle with a more powerful engine and better transmission, and overall would cost less to buy. But you get that extra 1 inch in ground clearance and a higher “perceived” utility with the Rogue.

Please review the Nissan Patrol (Armada in the USA)

I don't think it's that much of a puzzle why these are selling. I can't think of another vehicle I have seen more ads on TV for. Advertising works and it seems like Nissan has been shoveling a lot of money into the furnace for this vehicle for along time. Who can forget the Rouge Star Wars tie in? I wish I could!!!

IMO, the reason you see so many is aggressive financing by Nissan and fleet sales. I travel often and I’ve driven two in the US, and a diesel European version in the UK all from Hertz. The one I had in the UK, while still underpowered for my taste, and same blah interior had much better suspension tuning than the US version. It also had options (like parking sensors and speed limit detection) that the US ones don’t seem to get.

My god that was a nice day

SPORT? Ah, ah,ah! Under power with a Nissan CVT. Good job for the review.
