I agree. I think most of the hate Nissan gets is from people who neglect maintenance. I got a 2019 Sentra 110k miles. Only “issue” I had was the transmission slipping at 80k. Which went away immediately after the fluid change. But that was because I trusted the dealership when they said they changed the transmission fluid when I bought it at 60k miles.

I bought the car new in CA back in 2016 and took many trips from San Diego to LA on some weekends. Never ever had CVT issues. Always kept up the maintenance. California has tons of hills and mountains I drove, and the car was a tank. Currently at 133k, still runs like new. The haters are going to hate no matter what.

[@Antiorganizer]

@@Dilberts_Dogbert Sure: 1) Online magazines (eg Edmunds are automatically corrupt and in bed with the car makers. Dismisses all positive press in the process. 2) It gets 30 miles per gallon. Except, it routinely does much better than that. It does better than the RAV4, CR-V, CX-5, for example. 3) Sits there and compares a Matrix to it, and therefore, the Rogue is coined as unimpressive. Overlooks the fact that the Rogue is much larger and much heavier, yet is able to compete in gas mileage. That's impressive, but Scotty tries to sell it is meh, it sucks. Plus all the condescending laughies that come with it. 4) Americans go for more horsepower, being the reason the Matrix isn't a thing anymore. Ridiculous! Again the car is large and heavy in comparison. It needs that power to do its thing. It's not a high horsepower car. Again, ridiculously put by Scotty. 5) Oh all this complicated stuff like cvt, but it only gets 30. Again, that's incorrect, and again, what's with the obsession of comparing it with the Matrix. I paused the video. Do I really need to go on? Do you have any critical thinking skills at all on your part? Look, Scotty's videos are often pretty good. This isn't one of them.

I own a 2023 Nissan Kicks (little brother vehicle of the Rogue) SV 1.6L 4cyl with about 7k miles on it. I've noticed a few things. The exterior safety sensors don't work if dirty, Scotty is right. But, if its too sunny out, they also won't work properly either. Also, the Kicks only gets 31MPG city where I would have expected more. And, its lacking in power. Its so lacking in power that I think its borderline unsafe to drive because cars routinely try to pass me because I'm trying to accelerate (I don't like to floor it) too slowly. Going up a steep hill is just bad and you can really feel the lack of power. One of the good things is that I don't notice what everyone is complaining about with Jatco transmissions/Nissan transmission configs and I don't feel the gear shift feeling except when I floor it. I make decent $$ and once the warranty is over, I will probably trade in for something else.

[@Al-ok1lj]

The kicks is built on the Versa platform. They kept the horsepower the same and made a little suv out of it. Was thinking about getting the 2025 model that’s coming out but not so thrilled that the horsepower is about the same. I currently have a 2018 Versa note. Fun little car to drive in, but I feel ya. So many cars are passing just because I accelerate slow as well so as to not ruin the transmission prematurely. I’m currently at 45,000 city miles. All stop and go traffic. Warranty ended last year. Not in a position to trade or buy another vehicle due to financial reasons. I just hope it lasts with regular maintenance.

[@ofcbob6391]

I've had my 22 Rogue SV for 1.5 yrs, very happy overall but I've had an issue with the AC temp: the air coming out of my two vents is just slightly warmer than the air coming out of the passenger-side vents. The dealer did an update a few months back and it seemed to get both sides even on the temp, but now it's doing it again. I can live with it, just ticks me off that I have to adjust them manually. The turbo is raspy when you kick it, otherwise it's a smooth quiet ride and I get 32 mpg overall. I just think newer cars have too much technology that is not perfected.

I have a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. At 60,000 miles my warranty expired. Now at 65,000 miles I got a Service Engine Soon light on. I took it to be scanned at an AutoZone they gave me the code for a Crankshaft position sensor. I took it in and got an OEM sensor from Mitsubishi put it. My light is still on. I'm worried its my engine or Transmission going out. I'm basically in a hole. If the car breaks down I'm screwed. I have 2 years of payments left. And no money to fix it.

I used to drive 2005 and 2015 Altima with combined 34 mpg, and currently I am driving 2021 Lexus RX 2021, and my wife is driving Lexus NX 2024, honestly I still miss the two Altimas-smooth and perfect driving experience. Lexus is just fine, but not as good as Altima. Probably I don’t belong to the majority drivers. I believe Nissan has been blamed unfairly. We bought the NX in end of May, and are still waiting for the second key, which Lexus told us won’t be available until early February next year. This does match 2024 model. I give Lexus service 1 out of 5

When a tire blows on an all wheel drive vehicle, you can replace only one tire. You just need to have it ground down to the same circumference as the remaining tires. If no regular tire dealer has the equipment to do this, look for a racing shop. If they are all very worn, they should be replaced anyway. I have owned all wheel drive vehicles for 25 years (I live in a climate where that is a good idea) and never had a tire failure other than simply wearing out. In fact, my previous front wheel drive vehicles never had a tire failure except for one that was defective upon purchase.

[@BobEngland]

Not sure what to make of this video. I have a Rogue. First of all, I'm getting about 33mpg around town. I get better mileage on the highway, except in dense city highway traffic. Also, turning on the racing flag kicks in the turbo so that the power is ready and waiting. You can put it in eco mode, which works for most things, but lacks gusto. My problems with the vehicle have more to do with the fact that it has a terrible ride and feels cheap. I don't care for it, but I'm very pleased with the fuel economy. Comparing the mpg of a Rogue to a Matrix is kind of absurd since the Rogue is much larger. The three cylinder engine with the turbo has more than adequate power and the Rogue has a lot more room in it. It's too early to tell how reliable it will be, but this video does not give an accurate assessment of the cars plusses and minuses.

[@egold1006]

Without Nissan, Scotty would be out of business.

[@weazleman36]

So many cars on the market have the smaller engines with turbos and you’d hope they would get better fuel mileage and they don’t. And when ask about this the manufactures say its not for better mileage but for better emissions. So they still use the same amount of fuel but burn a higher percent of the fuel that they use. Lol. I’ve always felt that the reason the older Honda’s and Toyota’s lasted so long was because they had larger 4 cylinders that only created 100hp so they are not working super hard. Now they are doing the opposite. Small engines putting out 250+ HP.

[@BoopSnoot]

The Rogue FWD is rated 37mpg highway, despite being the largest interior volume in class SUV. For comparison, the tiny Fiat 500 Turbo that can only fit two adults and two very young children and weighs 1000lbs less than the Rogue is only rated 33mpg highway. So I'd say its amazing technology, getting the horsepower and torque of a V6 engine yet with far better fuel economy.

My wife has a 2019 and its great. Nissans old 2.5 litre 4 banger is extremely reliable which is what they used up until 2021. Why they switched from the 4 to this 3 with the crazy tech is beyond me. They did get more horspower on the change but they could have added a turbo to the 2.5 if they wanted more power.

[@Vixen522]

Agreed, my 2018 sport model just went over 80k (we travel across states frequently) & KNOCK ON WOOD, it's still purring! Though these reviews do worry me.

[@joeylara4]

I think Scotty’s point is the matrix is a compact with a hatch and the rogue is intended to be the same thing-a Sentra with a hatch but they sell rogues by following the “lifted hatchback with awd and call it an SUV” trend when most people don’t even need it. Scotty has said that he raised his boys with little Toyota sedans that were far smaller than what is considered a “family car” nowadays. People are spending money they don’t have on oversized cars they don’t need that won’t even make it to 200k miles anyways.

[@BoopSnoot]

The matrix is a subcompact hatchback. The rogue is a compact SUV. What's next, we're going to compare the Rogue to a motorcycle?

[@joeylara4]

@@BoopSnoot well, given that a matrix can be bought in cash and a rogue goes for $30k+, you would expect a reliable car and Nissans aren’t reliable anymore. The rogue has a 0-60 speed that’s merely one second faster than an old matrix and it only has about two more inches of rear legroom. So yeah, you’d be better off with a slightly smaller and far less expensive car, or a motorcycle!

Thanks Scotty!!! I had never seen this 1.5 litre 3 cylinder engine before and I would certainly never purchase one!! In Italy we have mainly smaller engined cars and many are diesel whereas I know that the USA is almost totally a petrol engine market. But I have seen the same here, almost all makers now offer 3 cylinder engines with a turbo and sure they make power BUT they are hopeless to drive and they have to be driven hard to the fuel consumption in the real world is TERRIBLE. The Ford engine seems to be the worst from what I read. As Scotty says this is totally NOT progress!! My van has a 2.2 turbo diesel engine. My car is a 4.2 V8 and my motorbike is a 1000cc 4 cylinder Honda. I love a big lazy engine cos they perform well and last for ever.
