DO NOT BUY a Nissan Dualis/Qashqai until you watch this | ReDriven used car review

[@independentopinion1]

We bought a 2013 built model brand new in Jan 2014. No problems and still drives well. Also bought is the rear spoiler which looks cute. Very happy with it.

[@smsog2236]

How can you not become a firm fan after an honest review such as this! You saved folks thousands.

[@johnnybro15155]

I have a 2011 J10 2 ltr petrol with cvt transmission. I bought it at 60 thousand km and now has 160 thousand km on the clock. It has been a great vehicle and economical to run. No issues with body panels or interior. I have replaced both rear shocks and cv boot seals. Also the clock spring needed replacing at 140 thou km as the airbag warning light stayed on and the fault was traced to the clock spring in the steering wheel . It gets a regular oil sevice every 10,000km. Uses no oil between changes. Its important to replace the cvt fluid as scheduled at 90,000km intervals. When I update vehicles I will get another one.

[@paullawrie]

I've had 4 of these bought new in 2010 and 2011 and the only common fault you mentioned was the bit coming off the back boot. I bought replacement bits to attach it for a few dollars online and repaired two of them after they were 9 years old. You say there are better options, but what?

[@angelicapeady5332]

I loved my 2 dualis’s. Loved the top view reverse camera and how quiet the road noise was - couldn’t hear much from outside at all. It was a little sluggish uphill and in one of them the tail handle was starting to come off. Had them both for 4 yrs or so.

[@alfstewart22]

very sluggish, especially the +2. But I loved our Dualis+2m almost 200,000kms with not an issue.

[@BeersandMears]

I purchased a new 2012 ST CVT Dualis. It is 12 years old and has done 116 thou km. The only issue I've had is replaced the engine mounts and the handle broke off the tailgate. I purchased clip kit from ebay for $26.00 and managed to repair the handle instead of replacing it.

[@CheapBastard1988]

Would you consider windscreens leaking, door rubbers falling off, trim pieces falling off, boot regulators failing, gauge clusters failing, and CVT transmissions failing catastrophically on 15 year old cars as normal wear and tear? If yes, you need to buy better cars. I've had none of these problems on my old 2001 Ford Mondeo. And I traded that in perfectly functional in early 2024 (At age 23!).

It has been abused with many short trips > 10 km on salty roads and humid and changing climate - 25 to +35 degrees Celsius. It is still presentable with no visible rust or discoloration. Wear parts replaced: 2 wheel bearings 1 bearing ball and all brake pads. due to the driving style, the egr has also been changed.

[@loveday3447]

This presenter is a giant snub, this car at least the European variants are well built, safe and reliable. This is self evident by they fact that nissan has sold millions of j10 qashqai. The presenter perhaps expected a rolls Royce quality in a cheap family mini suv. Nissan used a genuine leather on the seats but he doesn't want to believe his eyes, His demeanour, language and vomit gesture is terrible

[@ReDriven]

Wow, I'm guessing you won't be starting my fan club anytime soon. We can't comment on the Euro versions as, well we're not in Europe, but as far as the versions we have here, there are countless reports and articles easily available to read online reporting all of the issues mentioned in the video. I should mention, we did hours and hours of research, read countless consumer satisfaction reports and reached out to various mechanics and Nissan technicians to gather the information for the video, and what you watched was the culmination of all that research, far from just my opinion. Nissan did sell millions of these things but a product being popular when new has zero correlation to its longevity and reliability after years of use and thousands of kilometres travelled. I didn't for a second expect a $10,000 Nissan to feel anything like a $1mil Rolls Royce. However, I hoped it would feel at least comparable to this cars competition from the likes of Toyota, Subaru, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda etc etc. If that is genuine leather, it's far from a good quality leather and feels more like genuine vinyl. As far as my demeanour, language and vomit gesture goes, you're entitled to your opinion but feel free to work your butt off for zero money to create something like what we've created with ReDriven, spend the hundreds of hours researching, writing, filming and editing the videos and then post them on KZbin so I can eloquently let you know what I think of you. - AK

My qashqai has only ever broke down once and the boost pipe cost £20 and I fixed it myself, the boot handle did fall off and a 3d printed one from amazon fixed it perfectly for £25, the main issue this car really has is the rust it gets on the chassis and the heat shield rots away, other than that mines been a tank, 1.5 dci that cruises solid at 115mpg

[@ytlurker220]

Great comprehensive review, but the blame on Renault is just uncalled for. Renault doesn't use CVTs and that's the biggest thing that goes wrong - it's all Nissan's design and choice that went into it, through their subsidiary Jatco. Really wasn't necessary to mention Renault. I've found their models last long, and that corresponds to them placing halfway versus Nissan's near last place in the 2021 WhatCar reliability survey. Again - of Nissan's own making. I believe that you completely glossed over the very unique proposition the +2 offers in being a compact "7 seater" that has a large boot as a 5 seater, and 2 extra seats when really needed. There's NOTHING like it, nothing when it was new either. The engine paired with CVT is shit though, and the whiny drone it made going uphill tells me it may be headed for failure. Also a bit odd that you lumped the Megane and Clio together with the 370Z. You're falling for common misconceptions thinking Renault and Nissan are conjoined at the hip when it comes to actually producing each of their own model lines.

I don't get it, I am from Romania and in Europe we know that the 1.5 DCI engines are one of the most reliable Diesels ever. Also great fuel economy. 1.6 DCI comes second. Yet here here is said to avoid them.

[@DJGamesHD]

It's the same engine in the dacia duster which has got very good reviews in terms of reliability

[@paullawrie]

One guy standing in a garage saying to avoid them. Some data to back it up would be good.

[@simonbone]

The 1.6 dci is a great engine but has a couple of issues. For one, because of the tight fit in the Qashqai engine bay you basically need to remove the engine to replace the water pump. The EGR valve gets clogged and can be a pain to replace (though I did it myself with no problems in about half an hour). The exhaust valve flap - also on the 1.5 dci - often seizes up and needs to be replaced, by cutting the old one out of the exhaust pipe. And the timing chain is not lifetime but has a replacement interval of 300,000 km, and is a pain to replace because Nissan put the lock hole behind the starter motor, thus requiring the removal of the front of the car (it's a lot easier to replace if you trust your luck and don't do this step). The turbo is hard to access if it goes bad, but on the plus side the glow plugs are simple to replace (keeping in mind the usual caveats) as they are all on the front of the engine.

[@spudpalmy]

I am addicted to your channel. To think I nearly brought a 2013 Qashgai a few weeks ago. Instead found a mint condition 2010 Toyota Aurion Sportivo ZR6.

I used to be a big nissan fan. I bought a 2.00 liter visia in 2008(south africa). I used tape on all door latches to stop rattles. Trunk boot latch broke as mentioned. Lined all door panels with glue gun to stop rattles. Leather of left hand passenger seat failed exactly the same way. Black matt finnish on center console statted to bubble after 3 years. Leather on stearing weel very thin. Started peeling after 3 years. Head liner had to be replaced after two years, not due to sagging, but because it was popping and crackling when driving. Mechanical, the engine mount betwren engine and gearbox(i think) had to be replaced every 30k. After about 20k km, car will sart to shudder till you replace the engine mountings. Abs on this car is horrible. In the few cases that you brake hard enough to engage abs, the car shudders rough. Esp is horrible. It will engage if you drive over reflector on a road, causeing the while car to pull violently in one direction. Never had problems with engine itself, gearbox or suspensions. The shocks did start leaking at 80K. Center conole was as loose as in the clip. Door finnish or cover felt like paper.

I am struggling to understand how there are so many faults with this car. I am an owner of a 1.6 Petrol 2011 model and the car does not make noises, absorbs road anomalies gracefully, i have no paint chip issues or damages to the plastic and the seats are comfortable for my height both front and rear (i am 1.83 m). Road noise is minimum, and there is no wind noise when i travel. In fact i travel at 140 km/h in a very relaxed manner and the engine does not produce the noise that my megane coupe does (14 16V 2001). The only part i can agree with you is that its acceleration is not instant it takes a while and only when it builds on RPM ( > 3000) it shows its power (the Megane in this section shines: it pulls up instantly at the moment you press the pedal). Finally my interior does not have failing bits and no plastic is moving back and forth. I suspect that the owner of the car you tested was not very careful, maybe she was abusing it...

We do used car reviews. Every car on the channel is an old car these days.

[@broobie]

@@ReDriven of course. I realise that the cars are old. My point is that I felt the reviewer reviewed the car old car (this is first one I have watched) as if it is a car! Of course, there paint would be flakey and parts would rattle a little. My Dualis has many more ageing defects than the one he reviewed but it is still the best, most comfortable, most well-built car I have ever owned, since i gained my licence in 1968!

[@Tal5258]

Very strange never had any issues they are a great car very reliable I was surprised how good the 1.5 diesel was. Hardly said a good thing about the car...

[@stef7396]

you are making these out to be a crap car while i have not had a single problem in 10 years....

[@ReDriven]

Hence why we source our information from reliability and consumer reports that cover thousands of examples rather than just one particular car. Even the worst cars will have examples that are faultless owned by very satisfied drivers but unfortunately, after many many hours of research, these Nissans didn't fair so well. - AK

[@richardarmittage1202]

I can see you definitely don't like the qashqai, but your negative reviews are your opinions. I personally enjoyed driving mine for the past 13YEARS and still love it. I own other cars as well. Are you comparing with the Mercedes?

[@ReDriven]

It’s less an opinion and more a comment on the broad range of issue that seem to affect the Qashqai. It’s great that your experience with one Qashqai has been faultless and we constantly say that just because issues are common, it’s doesn’t mean there aren’t perfect examples out there. The video is designed to pull information from a variety of sources, many of which report myriad issues with the Qashqai. We’re not denying your experience, we can both be right. The Qashqai on the whole can have a raft of issues, meanwhile your specific example might be perfect, it’s not an either-or situation.

[@josh3221ify]

Owner for 10 years, Rear door handle breaking off, but its less than $30. Fabric seats tear easily Radio LCD dimming Seatbelt sensor cable got broken Clutch replacement Not the most powerful, but not the worst Mine is a manual petrol, and the rest of the issues you mentioned I have never experienced them. Been the longest car I have owned, I would say its been reliable. No engine issues, or oil leaks. Would I recomend to someone, you bet your sweet ...

[@HH79]

I agree I have owned mine 9 years love it. Longest I owned a car before that 6 years with a Nissan micra

@droforiagyeman-badu5441 trust the guy above . This car ..won't break. He is right. Is almost two years, already I have it. 100 km every day for work. 40.000 km extra , the last two years. ..I must say , that. 1. The airbag light ,is flashing ,since 8 months now. NEED, a spare part to replaced. 2. The inside of the roof., NEED, to replaced. ( some part of it , is unstucked.

[@sonic4urmind722]

please do a video on the E39 M5...

[@malcolmscott4150]

I actually like the look of these but built in uk meant maybe lacks usual quality as these are a hatch on stilts they had a foot in both camps - have heard they can suffer oil leaks and CVT issues yet suspension was described as well sorted and the Ti L AWD is a desirable used buy imho compared to what else was around at the same time :)

[@josh3221ify]

Mine is a manual, not a single drop of oil in 10 years.

[@stef7396]

got a 2010 full spec +2 and have also had zero problems at all, no bits falling off or leaks or even paint wear

[@trafficface]

Im borrowing one and its quite reliable apart from if you want to go up hills, otherwise its alright.

[@davidgarcia8781]

My family used to have a 2016 qashqai and had to get both front doors realigned twice within the first year of ownership, the transmission was jerky and the door cards creaked. My aunt’s nissan X-trail had to have a transmission replacement at 56000 kms. Modern nissans are not (in my opinion) quality cars.

[@daneburton7953]

Thoughts on the newer model, say a 2016 Ti?

[@TakuCoding]

Did you notice another Dualis at 12:08

It is mate yes but in the petrol variant. We have a review of the T31 hopefully coming soon. - AK

I now have back problems partly caused by a Nissan Dualis. Also, 2016-2013? Don't you mean 2006-2013.

[@K-ry7nc]

Bought this car seceond hand a few months ago and realised the tailgate handle was being held on by tape. Literally googled " nissan dualis+2 2011 tailgate replacement part" and in five minutes I'd ordered a brand new one off Ozparts for $48 plus shipping. Took the car in for an inspection and also to put the new part on and it only cost $70 for labour and inspection. This guy is talking rubbish about it being hard to find and costing hundreds of dollars. One of the best thing about these cars is how cheap and easy it is to find parts for them.

[@5_Pound_A_Day_Investor]

I just watched this review on my way to buy one of these as runabout/work vehicle 🤣🤣

[@Kinjo7]

@@thuggy67 hahah thanks so much. I did a bit of research and I found that the car has a couple of known problems and maybe not particularly powerful, but overall it seems fairly reliable. Maybe not as good as a Toyota or Subaru, but you can't usually go wrong with Japanese engineering I think. Hope you get the right car for you.

[@madhardcorenick]

If I had to buy a Dualis, it would be a manual. Wouldn't get the cvt even if it for free

[@jasonphillips5816]

Nissan CVT's are pretty bad for reliability, but the ones used by other companies such as Toyota aren't much better, it's best to avoid CVT transmissions altogether.

[@ahmadxatti]

What about 2008 le model

[@conneredgcumbe8513]

i owned a ex-display 2011 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L petrol with manual gearbox,... it was uhm yh mehh, nice at first, definite step up in my opinion from the 06 focus I had. Under powered, so get used to taking your time. Owning one at 21yrs old, you get used to being gawked at by older women and even police pulling you over thinking they're helping an old man. Plenty of room for your mcdonald's after work though. in the 2yrs i owned it, I had work done on the tracking [about 4 times], steering column itself, wing mirrors not folding or adjusting, replaced the the handle for the boot twice, rattling noises, a leaky door or two one of which somehow was dislodged despite never being touched. In terms of safety they're safe in my opinion because you can't go fast enough to be in any real danger [had a car accident didn't feel a single thing, the other person not so lucky]. The light steering is common, and is a Nissan thing in general [like my juke].

I know somebody that wants one, if this doesn’t talk her out of it I don’t know what will!
