Nissan Qashqai International first drive

[@Rocknium1]

I'm not a fan of these kind of cars, but I like your review, it's so realistic and not that "marketing crap" we hear almost in every video about cars. Thank you for being a regular guy trying to help people buy a car. subbed like a month ago.

[@29reload]

This guy does excellent reviews. He is relatable and he takes you on a journey. Well done for this.

[@USFanLovesMinHo]

29reload I agree, and he is pretty humorous too. If find his reviews informative and entertaining.

[@TheMadRolF]

Looks much better than its predecessor.

[@svenlabots1869]

And that's just what it is, nothing spectacular, but very smooth, reliable, good handling, very economical in fuel consumption, very cheap in costs and taxes, safe, easy to comprehend, wonderful loading space, lots of headroom in the back, great seats, hooky soundsystem (especially for Duran Duran's Hungry Like The Wolf), ergonomic behind the wheel position, clear infotainmentsystem, allert rainsensors, roaring sound, interesting colour-palette, nice rims, beautiful day-led illumination, and a mean looking nose thar gets everybody out of the way....but not much more than thar, really...👍🐼😃🤡🐩💓

[@fahmad7194]

Hi Bob. Is this tiny turbo enough for Qashqai? in comparison with the previous petrol engine

[@MiguelGonzalez-cz3eg]

Hi Bob, thanks for your review, great as always !!! Could you tell me the name of the music and the author, that was playing in the beginning of the vídeo? it seems like pink floyd... Thanks in advance

[@boncuuu]

Which would you recommend for a long term, qashqai or yeti in terms of reliability and running cost for a family of 5?

[@HowkeyLL]

The center console looks like straight from VW group. All the knobs, all the positions, all the silver parts.

[@RayBanJockey]

Didn't really talk about much of anything did you? You get to test what is basically the most popular and successful crossover the world has ever seen. Show us the boot space, how is the stereo, is the leather any good, how are the cabin plastics, what about road noise, visibility, 4WD, suspension and ride comfort? Give us some meat to chew on man :p

[@USFanLovesMinHo]

RayBanJockey Maybe in Ireland or the UK but not the world.

[@foofoofoofoo563]

Yes i have a problem with sat nav with mine drives me nuts

[@Bimmer_e90]

A lot of inoffensive going on there Bob !!! lol stuck for things to talk about...I bought the last one new in 2010 the facelifted one...it was inoffensive like owning a really good fridge or washing machine ! sold it in 2011...

[@GeorgeFalls]

Good review, as usual, but I'm in no hurry to trade in my Alfa for one just yet :-)

[@SweeHongTan]

Hi Bob, do you ever have a script for your commentary? Or is everything you said in that remarkable head of yours? ;-) #BobFlavin

[@ThePetrolhead94]

You missed out the Juke bob that sells almost as well as the Qashqai

[@JohnInSale]

Is there gonna be a +7 version ?

[@CataVancea]

more info about the car will nice, to much bla bla this time sorry

[@MiguelGonzalez-cz3eg]

When will you do a review of the new lexus CT200h?

[@BobFlavinVideo]

I've had it, a long time ago now. I didn't think much of it, too small, too expensive and under powered

[@foxdmulder]

I see all the critics are out in force... A 1.2t petrol in this class is a first. Times have changed.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Might be the last you see of the 1.2 petrol in Ireland, I liked it but Irish people in a car this size won't touch it.

[@RetroGamerVX]

Can I have your job please pretty please? You need a bag carrier? lol. Anyway, it's a nice improvement, especially the interior :o) The vehicle sounds really quiet in the video, is it really like that? :o) Great review, nice to see behind the scenes in the life of a reviewer, more of that please :o)

[@ArturoBandiniWannabe]

Thanks you - although this one is not amongst your better reviews. Not enough information. Also you could have informed us about changes they've made since the previous model. I've been driving QQ 1.6dci for almost two years now and to sum my experience: engine and drivers position are great, while everything else is between average and shitty. Not a car I would buy again or recommend to anyone I like :)

[@stephencox4716]

Still alot of almeras around ireland!

[@john-wynne]

OK Please pick one :) Nissan Qashqai or the Hyundai ix35 or the Kia Sportage? Thanks Bob

[@BobFlavinVideo]

I'll have the Kia Sportage in blue, I like the looks the most. The IX35 and Sportage are the same underneath. Until I get a Qashqai for a proper long test I won't be able to tell about the practical stuff but if I was buying one tomorrow on pain of death I'd have a Sportage. Cool?

[@svenlabots1869]

Difficult choice, depends how well you hit it off with your local dealer and what deals he can offer you. All of them are supergood reliable cars...👍

[@Macavellic]

who gave this guy a press pass?

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Nissan, why didn't you get one? Maybe it was lost in the post.

[@GusBloke]

was you reviewing other drivers' attitude or what?

[@prado1ist]

This is a French car build in the UK

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Correct, Sunderland factory. I was in the factory and it's good, 59 seconds per station or something like that. The French bit is only partly correct though

[@benanderson89]

Georges St.Pierre This car isn't french in the slightest. The DCi engines are co-developed with Renault (those built at the sunderland plant being more robust with better QA), but EVERY part of the car is 100% British designed, engineered and built. Not one single part comes from the Renault parts bin.

[@prado1ist]

benanderson89 Actually this car shares most subasmembllies with renault,including engines which are developed in France.This car is as English as Opel Polish or Kia Slovak.

[@benanderson89]

Georges St.Pierre This is a brand new platform that Nissan England has developed that will then be used in 3 new Nissans in future I believe (its not the old Nissan C platform as Wikipedia suggests) and 11 new Renaults. The new platform is called "CMF" (think VW MQB). The Qashqai is the first car to use the new modular platform. The 1.2L Dig-T engine is actually a Nissan Engine, but the DCi engines as previously mentioned are co-developed with Renault. The XTronic CVT Gearbox is also a Nissan developed part (Renault use a Dual Clutch) and the styling is definitely done by Nissan in their own centres actually in England as well. Renault hasn't touched this. The car was designed in London, Engineered in England (with some more tinkering in Spain) and is built in Sunderland. Its the same story with the Nissan Note. Aside from co-developed DCi engines and some hot weather testing and tinkering in Spain, its as British as you can get short of sticking a Morris or Rover badge on the front. Other reviews and even Nissan have stated all this in plain English. So I (and other family members who works for Nissan Motor Company) shouldn't need to tell you what is already out there. :) Good Day!

[@SG-D]

Looks nice, but you wouldn't want that over that GTI your driving would you!

[@goodkingkarlos]

Are they reliable the 1.2?

[@adisurd]

***** its called the Rogue in USA

[@clt1551]

Seems to be an awful lot of wind noise.

[@foofoofoofoo563]

1.5 diesel best buy

[@roshanpanchal8889]

Is this the 1.2TCE engine built by Renault? Should impress the school run mums as long as they avoid the motorways xD

[@hugglescake]

Cash-guy?

[@sparkyauris]

this was terrible. if there is something in your way cut the film and don't let us wait with you! learned absolutely nothing from this, you kept repeating yourself that it is 'completely inoffensive' but then telling us that it was 'very handsome'. Noticed as well at least the top 4 of your top 10 cars of 2013 were VW group, including the golf at No.1, and in your review of that, you don't constantly tell us of how 'inoffensive' that car is. Maybe another 'journalist' paid by VW. Anyway there are so many talented journalists that would have made a much better effort than this.

[@BobFlavinVideo]

I don't get paid by any car company, I have never received any payment from VW for my opinion or my top ten. They had no idea who had made the top ten until the video was released. I don't have sponsorship or advertising other than the ad's KZbin put on the videos. If you don't like the reviews then move on, watch someone else that's the point of KZbin, you can watch what you want.

[@MegaGecas]

Why do you English presenters always wear something dreadful? Do you sleep in the street at night, and in the morning get up off the dirty pavement and go review some cars? What's wrong with you people?

[@BobFlavinVideo]

I'm not English, I'm Irish. I'm reviewing a car not playing dress up fashion week. Thanks for the comment though, it amused me.

[@ArturoBandiniWannabe]
