Juliet drives the Nissan Magnite

[@R1Zig]

I think the main reason why motoring journalists touch the dash and other plastic surfaces obsessively is quite logical. The softer the material, the better the sound insulation and the less rattles will develop over time. Your green eyes were popping in this video. Thanks for another honest review as always!

[@weetbix2083]

So tell me why do VWs rattle so much? Surface material doent mean it wont rattle. Its how it is put together and how secure the components behind are secured that counts. Also take a Merc for instance. Those lovely surface look like crap after 3-5 years as they scratch and peel. Im not a fan of form over function.

[@jeroenjansen2709]

I don't think so. Rattles can still develop with soft touch surfaces. The soft touch finish is too thin to provide any meaningfull insoltion

[@noonsound4894]

Soft touch surfaces!!. So glad you said that. Ive been researching cars for many months now and in this era of KZbin, I have had it up to my eyeballs with reviewers carrying on about hard or soft surfaces. I have been driving my current vehicle for 4.5 years and had never even thought to touch the surfaces. Absolutely love your reviews. 🙏👋

[@tron3652]

True however if the fit and finish of the plastic panels are poor then you going to get lots of creaks over time. I don't mind it if the fit and finish of them are good.

[@shaunpersens5155]

I have been checking this car out for a while now. Am so glad that u are reviewing it. Can’t wait for the renault kiger review though…im buying that one !!!! Ps love ur vibe

4:36 one of the reasons the engine is loud in the car is due to the cheap hard plastic on the dash :-) learnt this the hard way when I bought a hyundai i20 first gen, the dashboard had its own unique sound especially on gravel roads

There is an unlocking system trick! Long press the lock button in the car, it prevents car from automatically locking itself.

Awesome car my sister got it today, a bit shakey when you have the aircon on.. and it was smoking a little bit.. it's brand new thou😔

I share the sentiment: other day I said to a guy at Nissan when I test drove a new Navara, "this Datsun Go Cross is quite cute".... They had a good chuckle!!

[@henrickobotha3993]

I agree strongly, im not keen on the looks of this Magnite, it looks like the cheap Datsun Go from the front and i wouldn't want to drive around in somethings wich is expensive but looks like something very cheap

I drove mine for 9 months, and do not recommend it at all! I eventually had to get rid of it because I could never drive it due to technical issues. And Nissan’s service is atrocious.

[@jeroenjansen2709]

Nissan is a reliable brand, so your statement that you couldn't drive it for 9 months and had to get rid of it sounds strange. I see so many on the road nowadays

Thank you for a good review. I've been shopping around for a compact suv, what would be your recommendation between the Peogeot 2008 & the Haval Jolion? Specifically the auto versions

[@mfundontlombe4359]

Classy and sexy Peugeot, anytime.

[@deanwilliams2374]

Apparently it was designed by the Datsun team, but halfway through the development Nissan took it over instead. They kept the design (potentially to their detriment) but did everything else, including engine, drive train, interior, etc.

[@mfundokunene3682]

Does the shape suck? I think it's better than other compact SUVs

[@deanwilliams2374]

@@mfundokunene3682 I don't think it's bad either. Definitely better than many of the others. However that grill just shouts "Datsun!" If they had made it more Nissan and less Datsun, people wouldn't associate it the Datsun Go

[@vvr881]

So bloody true...who touches the cars dash all the time. Only nit picking car journos me 🤔

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

Has nothing to do with touching. Soft materials are used for sound deadening. This cheap piece of plastic shit will drone like a cheap plastic piece of shit

[@andreipretorius92]

Weird that it does not unlock automatically or when you pull the door handle. Is that not a safety hazard?

[@Corrans]

I have the Nissan Micra and it has Hill start assist, so I think that's why you are expecting it here. Plus my particular Micra is 84kw.

Good value car, but instrument cluster in the Renault equivalent looks so much better than this power rangers looking cluster.....in fact Renault overall interior looks better...but Nissan wins on exterior looks and additional features...difficult choices to make..

I suspect the reason manufacturers use squishy material for the dash is perceived quality.

Sound deadening and not a perception but rather is better quality than hard scratchy cheap Chinese toy plastic.
