Looking for a used Nissan Dualis? - carsforsale.com.au/nissan/dualis
Not really a hatchback but really an SUV, the Nissan Dualis (or Qashqai as it’s called outside of Australia) attempted to be many things to many people, however, this approach rarely results in success.
Sales success was near guaranteed for Nissan (with many in the company calling the Qashqai the Qash-cow), but now the budget-built crossover is getting on in age, and with many having travelled thousands of kilometres, should they be considered in the used car market at all?

At ReDriven, we’ll be taking you through the pros and cons of a huge range of used cars to see how well they’re going now that they’re a few years old, have thousands of kilometres on the clock, and are coming toward the end of their warranty, or maybe don’t have one at all.
Plus, thanks to our resident mechanic, Jim, you’ll find out what commonly goes wrong with them and what might need to be fixed.
Most importantly, we want to make ReDriven a voice for the most in-the-know used car experts there are...you guys.. See, you’re the ones that actually buy, live with, love and sometimes unfortunately hate the cars we’ll be reviewing.
So we want to hear your thoughts. Hit us up in the comments, or on Instagram and Facebook.
We’d love nothing more than for you to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can make this channel the best it can be.

God this guy is depressing. Most of the stuff is literally generally wear and tear on a old car with high milage. He's talking about Apple Car play on a car using 2008 tech, he's basically comparing this car in his head to a 2022 car 🤣
where and tear is should not be that bad on a 2010 ish car its a heap of shit
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.
These cars are amazing, I have tried others but this is the best. This review is void I don't know what your talking about
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.
very sluggish, especially the +2. But I loved our Dualis+2m almost 200,000kms with not an issue.
Weird that you have so many complaints. I have owned two European spec Qashqais, a 2007 diesel 1.5 manual and I currently still drive a 2013 petrol automatic 1.6. I have had zero problems with either, everything is solid and in fantastic condition, I have never had any engine or other issues with it. Where are the Australian versions built ? I do agree that the CVT gearbox is not the most fun to drive but if you are a calm driver you should be ok.
got a 2010 full spec +2 and have also had zero problems at all, no bits falling off or leaks or even paint wear
@@stef7396 would you recommend it? I'm looking for a reliable daily driver to do many miles. A 2011 or 2012
@@DJGamesHD why not a RAV4 or Mitsu ASX.
Same here I've got a 2010 petrol, it's done 135,000 miles always past MOT I get it serviced every year. Love my car. This bloke chatting a load of crap 17mins of my life I'll never get back
Hi i have a Nissan qashqai J10 2013 1.6 DCI I bought it brand new and owned it and driven it 180000km with zero problems. Only normal wear and tear replacements and the seats and infotainment is perfect I bought new maps and updated myself. All service since after warrant done by me it is flawless. Honestly I feel these jokers got money to badmouth a car sold in 3 million produced and I have driven the newer ones also they are amazing.
You cannot compare 10 year old car model with new releases. Really crap review please don’t listen to them.
These are amazing cars with no problem also no timing belt but a timing chain so really low cost and maintenance what a bad biased review.
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?
I have a 2013 1.6 dci qashqai +2 tekna. Besides routine servicing and some discs and pads and lower front arms I’ve had no problems. 160,000km, still on the original clutch. Non of the problems listed here. Been more reliable than the mercedes w204 that preceded it.
Well done on your channel, mate. Really like the format and content. It's great to get in to the detail. It's also great when you make note of when the dealers/importers supported customers when the cars with issues had warranty issues.
Thanks so much mate. - AK
my nissab 1.6 diesel 130 hp 320 newton from 2012 has driven over 200,000 km without major repairs 17-18 km per liter of diesel. 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. Spare parts for this car are cheap in Europe. for me it has been a relatively cheap car to buy and own. It's not perfect, but ok. Denmark
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.
The only thing I agree with is the bad position of the hand brake, everything else is just an aging cars problems. You hare just comparing an old model with newer models.
The reason they called it a Dualis in Oz was with the Australian accent the original sounds like Cash Cow !
We have a 2009 Dualis 2wd 6 speed manual Ti model we have had from new, the only thing that has gone wrong with it, is the concentric slave cylinder for the clutch, the gearbox had to be removed to replace it, no problems since. I personally change oil, and filter every 5000kms.
Wow that unusual a manual I think manual only accounted for about 10% when sold new . would rather it in manual as there jatco crapco CVT is to risky to own. too many horror story of those transmission failure

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.
I find your videos too critical, they may scare people off of certain cars. Like how can the Subaru XV be so bad yet feature in your top 5 SUV's?
The only major thing I can fault the dualis/qashqai on is the gutless 2ltr engine. Other than that, its a great family vehicle.
They only said the XV was bad with a CVT. It's still a more reliable and tougher car than the Qashqai.
I have owned a 2010 Urban Black leather AWD for 3 years and I have had few issues. The door lock stopped working for a day and the remote key battery needed replacing. Trim rattles and squeaks are annoying. Other than that nothing major.
I have owned 13 cars so far including many Toyotas, and this has had the least amount of problems.
I have one. 2011 Qashqai 1.6. Only one real issue with it is that my wife crashed it two times already.
Is it boring? Yes. Is 117BHP engine weak also yes.
It's however quite non-problematic car with cheap parts (except for lamps, but that's normal) and quite cheap to maintain.
We use it quite heavily (at least 30k km/year) since we got it 3 years ago, and we actually like it.
Have been driving a 2.0 dci for over two years now. No issues, just changed oils and filters when the time came. The engine is one of the best diesel engines with commonrail according to another TH-cam channel. It is not a performance car but serves well as a family vehicle.
And the 2.0 dci is 100% Renault
What about the 2.0 petrol version?I drive only 10.000-15.000km în one year and I would like petrol variant SUV)
I have a Quashqi and I think the cars are amazing.
Very reliable with loads of space - highly recommended.
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
Im thinking about buying qashqai 2012 1,5 dci now. Would you recommend?
What about 1.6 petrol engine?Did it turn out well?what is fuel consumption?
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
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 TH-cam so I can eloquently let you know what I think of you. - AK
Nah the local car journos and enthusiasts also hate these things, at least here in Finland. Quashqais are popular among people who don't like or understand cars and want a cheap and nasty crossover to get from point A to B.
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. This would be the first car since my 1997 E38 7 series to put a smile on my face when I drive it. Definitely a hidden gem with stunning performance along with Toyota reliability.
I have a 2011 J10 Dualis K bought 2nd hand for $5k. Love it. It's a great car. I do agree with the boot handles breaking!mine did, and I see loads of them around which are taped back on with duct tape...but apart from that it's great!
Same 😄 tap with tape but i am planning to replace from scrap yard
what would be an alternative car for this budget?
It is good for tall drivers?(I have 1.93cm almost 2 meters)
This channel is great! Always buy new cars but nice to watch old cars reviews and see how reliable they are.
Cheers so much
I have today taken a 2010 Qashqai Tekna 2.0 petrol for a test drive and absolutely loved it !
It has full service history and is a 2 owner car. I am buying it and picking it up on Friday 05/05/2023.
Would u advise me to buy it?
nicklunness6862 do you like it?
@@kimberlyagard8389 yes but I don't want anything that going to give me any problems
Had mine since nearly new, its a 1.6 petrol J10 model, 10 years old done over 90,000 miles now. Had a new clutch recently and a few other front end repairs, wheel, bearings etc. overall it's been super reliable, its left left me stranded at the side of the road. yes it boring, not much fun to drive and sluggish. but i'd take reliability over all of that.
To be fair just buy it, I got one the only problem is it’s speakers, but we can fix that! The only difference is that I got the 1.2L none of these problems have come to notice
Yes, of course you should buy it if it is 'free to a good home'..... so if the transmission gives up,,,, you can make money when you sell it to the wreaker. Bottom line is as he says "better alternatives for your money"
I bought a 2012 Ti-L +2 model second hand. No sports car but Only 65000 on clock. Regularly serviced but does the job 👍🏼
I actually like the look of the front
Love this channel, will you ever be reviewing Mercedes Benz w212 coupe or CLS c219? Id love to see it! Keep recording, this channel will be huge one day!
Thanks so much and we'll try to find them to review for you. - AK
I got the 2012 version but it's just for A to B so not to bad but have had to change brakes due to rattling and also had to paint the side bumpers cause truth be told these things grey out so quickly

Thanks so much Jon. 100 Series is high on the list and we'll be doing one soon. AK
Looking at one in Swansea heads this morning!
Looks like you have a long list of requests but a 100 series landcruiser review would be good.
Loving the content 👌
100 Series is extremely high on the list of vids we'll be doing mate. Just need to find the right example.
Hi AK do you have any review on Peugeot 3008? Thank you
Thoughts on the newer model, say a 2016 Ti?
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.
It's the same engine in the dacia duster which has got very good reviews in terms of reliability
One guy standing in a garage saying to avoid them. Some data to back it up would be good.
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.
How about a newer model like 2020? any better?
Could you do a should you buy for the Hyundai Getz?
Totally, we'll try to track one down to review.
@@ReDriven plenty over here in WA if you were to come over.
@@TwistedDonners Mate we LOVE WA. I was there shooting with Nissan prior to these crazy times and explored the Margaret River region and just fell for the place.
Can you please name an alternate in the same money range?
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...
Is your car an automatic? CVT?
@@VahidBehravanVahid-Behravan It is Manual.
@@Kerveros1904 I think the point in this review is for CVTs, Automatic
@@VahidBehravanVahid-Behravan but he criticized many other sections besides CVTs and Automatics. All observations i did are for sections that are common for all Qashqais both manual and CVTs/automatic. (plastics, absorbers, road noise)
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.
This car has awesome fuel economy, great AWD performance in snow but it is small inside, and the engine used to almost dying on my family when we went up a hill with the AC on 😅. If a puny engine, lackluster performance, low built quality are not a problem, it is a great car for a small family. We replaced it with a Volkswagen Tiguan, the Tiguan felt like a luxurious tank by comparison.
What about the 4wd? Tell me which one to buy bc am planning to buy one
I'm torn between this and ASX both 2011 models. Thank you.
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 :)
Mine is a manual, not a single drop of oil in 10 years.
got a 2010 full spec +2 and have also had zero problems at all, no bits falling off or leaks or even paint wear
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.
Please help me,what are the qashqai variants without CVT???I want to buy a qashqai, but without cvt
Yep. This channel hates ALL French cars for some reason.
@@kevinpicur7739 Buy a manual.. Or, the diesel variants run a conventional auto.

What about the Nissa x trail T31 model is it any good
It is mate yes but in the petrol variant. We have a review of the T31 hopefully coming soon. - AK
This has been my favourite review so far 😂😂😂
12:08, dualis in the background driveway 😂
I still own a 2013 TS 6spd manual. I've driven 800kg with a 350 Chevy. This car has all the practically and fun without being overbearing. Just hit 90k kms in mine. The interior door handle trim fell apart within 20k.
The boot handle fell off at 50k. Original brake pads changed at 70k.
10 years old and it feels like maybe 5-10 hp fell out the tailpipe.
Mine has super low km for its age, but i like the car. Hasnt had a major failure in 10 years.
Ummm, where in Australia is it called something other than Qashqai? I have never seen the name Dualis here. This must refer only to really old models.
please do a video on the E39 M5...
Are the newer model qashqai any better?
Don't know too early to tell they still use the CVT if they sorted out the CVT failures you'll have to wait 7y or 140000km to see . unless Nissan is going offer a 10y warranty on CVT stay away far better options out there
We'll be finding out soon. One of my closest friends has one and it'll be on the channel soon.
Thanks. I will still go ahead with my 2019 qashqai purchase. Ive been using it side by side with my toyota chr and my qashqai drives better than that.
I have a Qasqhai 2013 and it is Superb on handling. I do not believe what you have said about this car, these are minor issues that could happen to any car, but remember maintenance is key. Compare this car with a RAV of the same year and you will be glad you bought it. I would replace this car with a later version.
I'm surprised you guys didn't mention about the A/C failing. It seems like allot of later Nissan are prone to A/C compressor failure.
Luckily, I wasn't drinking milk when you were mentioning the faulty seat belts.
Adam's personal hell loop - being forced to enter and exit the third row for eternity. The horror.
In the United States they are called the Rogue and are EVERYWHERE!
They are notorious for CVT failures..
wow, I've had very few of those complaints for the majority of my 2009 CVT FWD petrol Dualis' life. She's reaching 404,000 km's now, so there's a few issues - the suspension I replaced and is a little harder now, the CVT is going, but that happens.
The power's always been decent, the CVT hasn't complained too much, and I came from a Ford Fairlane NL 4L straight 6
I have noticed the tailgate handle assembly DOES break and a lot of Dualis's are getting around with duct-taped assembly and the rear taillight issue DOES suck every now and then, especially when it drops your cruise control out because voltage is bleeding into your break system and tripping it XD
All in all, my Dualis has been great.
Looks like your mechanic is green screened onto a workshop background
1.6 petrol?
@@sondrehagg725 yup 1.6
Should also be noted that I had a shudder that I assume was my CVT on its way out, but turned out to be one of the bearings in the inner cv shaft (if memory serves) was squished and needed replacing - now runs VERY smooth again =)
and she's up to 420,000 kms
@@Berethruu thats impressive :) 420k ive read somewhere that the 1.6 petrol is the only nissan engine qashqai uses, rest is renualt engines
Do you think a 2.0 cvt is good?
@@maicklorencone251 Yeah, I would say so, she's got decent power when I need it (not very often), still running very smoothly at 442K
That was the funniest review guys have ever done!
Nissan made really good cars in the 90s, that was their golden period where they had gotten over the rust issues of the older ones, build quality and reliability were high. They seemed to have gone downhill post 2005... around the time of the Renault merger.
I just watched this review on my way to buy one of these as runabout/work vehicle 🤣🤣
Just back from 3 months in Europe where I was driving a Qashqai, possibly the noisiest car I've ever driven. Road noise was deafening
Can you do one for Mazda 2 DJ series?
100%. A great mate of mine owns one so we'll book it in for a review soon. Great request. - AK
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].
Wow. Sounds like you drove a lemon or I have an amazing one.
I've had a 2nd hand 2010 Ti for about 6 years and I dont treat it well. It's underpowered, a bit boring and the drivers side window stopped working, but its otherwise super comfortable and mechanically reliable. Doesn't like towing a huge amount off road but it will.
I'm finding it hard to justify buying something else.
One thing I dislike about this channel is sometimes it feels like they hear specific horror stories and speak about the issues like it affects all cars of the same model. It's like saying "This car sucks because I only spoke to people that had a bad experience with them".
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...
I own a 2017 Nissan Qashqai ST Petrol, Just recently upgraded from my 2010 Qashqai and can say everything he's just said is true! Hahaha, that being for the 2010 model I owned. The door handles were peeling inside and even cut my finger. The front left passenger windows wouldn't wind up using the passenger button but would work using the driver's side window control. The boot latch came loose and detached itself don't know exactly how....possibly a loose bolt and when trying to fix it as in try to tighten the bolt to attach the boot latch lock there was nowhere to get access to action it as it seemed the manufacturer screwed the bolts then welded the metal framing around it Zzz honestly it's hard to explain. As for the CVT it wasn't so bad.
Now that I have the 2017 Model it seems to feel more spacious, the interior is emasculate BUT the suspension seems a tad dodgy when going over bumps or making certain turns... I've only had this car for a good week so I wouldn't know to much right now
Driving a wet sponge... lol I'm just confused.
Edit: I do agree with the black tail boot trim. I see plenty of dualis on the road with the broken trim.
The fact that it's a Nissan, I'm already on guard
The Europe spec doesn’t seem to be anywhere near as bad as the ones sold in the East - the former have held up pretty well in comparison. Probably also helps that in Europe most have manual transmissions.
Can you please do the reviews on Mitsubishi cars/suvs please ? .

I now have back problems partly caused by a Nissan Dualis. Also, 2016-2013? Don't you mean 2006-2013.
Did you notice another Dualis at 12:08
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?
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.
Awww was looking at a Dualis too, bugger!
Yeah, probably don't Tania. - AK
Im borrowing one and its quite reliable apart from if you want to go up hills, otherwise its alright.
Dare I say I want you to review a used Holden Cruze. Maybe a SRi model.. ooooft 😂🙈
I'll wear a helmet and fire proof suit when we do! - AK
Can you please do a used car review on the Subaru Forester from 2008??
100%. We'll try to track one down soon to review. - AK
@@ReDriven thank you AK
I am surprised Nissan does not have sedans like Maxima and Altima in Australia.
We had the Maxima years ago and the Altima until quite recently but neither sold at all well.
I’m so glad I watched this before spending anymore time even thinking about buying one! Thanks for making my decision easy!
Thanks so much Keith. This is exactly why we started this channel. - AK
@@ReDrivenyou should end each episode with alternative cars to consider in the price & class you are reviewing. It would definitely help people. Great reviews 👌
Can you add a VW Passat to the list? (B8 generation).
Totally mate, I think I have a mate that has one, I'll message him now. Great request - AK
Nice review
In depth
I wanna buy this vehicle but you're making me change my mind 😂
Especially with the middle seat issue
Can't you pull up the two front seats a little to give a little extra space ? Or something ?m
I just bought one and now I see this review. Did you end up with one?
@@Kinjo7 Not as yet but most likely it will be the 2015Qashqai , which one did you bought?
@@thuggy67 I got a 2010 Dualis/Qashqai. I don't pick it up until next week. Hopefully it doesn't suffer from too many of the issues outlined in this video.
@@Kinjo7 don't bother with this video , you know how many people are driving this in my country and I don't hear complaints , remember these videos are paid videos also so don't worry too much , I bless your vehicle 25 years life span
@@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.
I loathed this reviewer's forensic review, I had to turn him off. That Dualis he is reviewing is an old car these days. I bought my Dualis in February 2012 and still drive it long distances every day as I use it for my job. I've never had a major issue with it. There are a couple of issues but nothing that need immediate attention. I have made sure it gets regular services. Whiles living in Europe for 12 months recently, I notice that Qashqais are very popular which does indicate, the issues the reviewer mentions seem to be over-the-top.
We do used car reviews. Every car on the channel is an old car these days.
@@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!
Try Imagining that the same company makes the GTR… it’s very hard!
This model era was neither here nor there but the newer ones are a much better car. People should look into a newer version they’ll be pleasantly surprised
My dad been waiting one of these for a while, better show him this video before he jumps the gun
Please do! - AK
I challenge you to do a review on a newer model one. They are a much better car
Could you do it on a Range Rover Velarc
Sure thing, we'll try to find one. You may want to watch this weeks upcoming Top5 video from us too!
Can you please add Subaru Forester to your list love to know your thoughts
Totally! What year are you thinking? - AK
@@ReDriven I personally love the 2003 to 2006 SG. Was my 1st car.
But would like to hear your opinion on something a bit newer. Around that 25k mark.
My mum has a 2018ish qashqai and hasn't had any issues at all. To be fair the thing will be lucky to see 10k a year and is still well below 100 but for the price it seems like a decent run around!!
