NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!
I have to say it's impressive how many car companies want you to review their cars. You are already better at it than the majority of reviewers who do this for a living. There are so many spin off subjects for you to cover with modern vehicles.
Very detailed and well done review as always! Golf clap for 3rd row seat attempt!
Do you still enjoy this car? Imagine thinking about purchasing one. I'm not just worried about the transmission complaints I've been reading
For those of you who care about the head room, I can tell you I am 6'8 and I feel super comfortable driving it. Just got a new Rogue half month ago and I like it.
"Engineered to last long enough..." That's why I don't like newer vehicles.
You trying to get into that third row killed me haha.
Thanks for doing the highway pulls again. Even though they're not performance cars, it's nice to know how fast they'll get out of the way.
Good video as always too.
This is the most in depth review I think I've ever seen. Great job!
What kind of review is this? This is a really good review, it go deeper into details than the average reviews. Thanks!
Best reviews I have come across, don't stop making these!!!
***** Thanks!
9:00 through 9:25 I was laughing hard lol
Da RiceBoy I can't wait until he tries to sit in a BRZ's rear seats!
Unbearable Pain I did it! th-cam.com/video/E69uyew8KtE/w-d-xo.html
Place for unwelcome friends or mother-in-law?
Hey Jason, why don't you ever do car audio testing for the cars you review? Everyone likes listening to music especially in high quality, other than that excellent review, defiantly the best reviews of cars on TH-cam!
123easternbikes If the audio is really nice, I'll mention it. As there's no way for you to hear what I hear (the quality of the audio is dictated by your speakers, not the car's speakers), there's no point in me playing audio during the review.
This look exactly like the one I’m getting except it’s black and has paranomic roof. It’s rare to see an SV with all SL premium features with the exception of leather seats.
Did you end up getting a 2015 Nissan Rogue SV? I’m checking one out soon and wondering if it’s worth it
The more recent Rogue allows you to manually select preset gear points on the CVT
this is a great review. i kind of like the rogue, it has a lot going for it. i still have to test drive it.
This is probably the only Nissan and crossover I could say I wouldn't mind owning as a commuter.
However, I haven't seen a Mazda CX-5 review yet, I'll need that first before I would choose this.
Unbearable Pain I'll have a short review up on it, but I haven't had it in for a full review. Short review will be up (hopefully) soon!
Just bought the select version and I gotta say I'm thoroughly enjoying it coming from a Sentra and it's certainly very roomy
0:44 There actually is a spare located underneath all that. Just need to look.
Great review on the car! Good job.
I never leave reviews and do watch a LOT of these car reviews. I must say your review was very thorough and EXCELLENT! Keep up the good work and Kudos!
These are great cars. I own a 2011 Rogue, and never thought in my life I'd buy another "Japanese" car, but now I own a Honda Civic Hybrid and the Rogue- both are superior to anything "domestic" here in the U.S. in my opinion. Great little SUV, though it was a bit too big for my petite wife who stands 5'1". It's a great road trip vehicle, lots of space for gear and luggage. I added a hitch hauler on it for taking hunting (vehicle replaced my old pickup), and I used rubber pickup bed protection matting in the back to protect the carpeting from my muddy boots/waders, etc. I added a PVC fishing rod tube to the roof rack- great rig if you are an outdoorsman on a budget- kayak/canoe rides nicely on the roof, and I also have a hitch mounted bicycle rack for our bicycles. The AWD is amazing in the snow too!
The current Rogues are manufactured in Tennessee now
Would love to see a Honda HR-V review and maybe even a Mazda CX-3
Excellent Review. I was just wondering if in future videos you could show cabin air filter access location
Thanks for the touch of added detail.
awesome vid, i especially loved the pov angle, and those actual real world mpg #'s that u showed. im considering this as my next car and i liked ur detailed review.
can u do one for the '15 murano as well, thanks
Rare that I say yes haha, but actually I will ha e the Murano in soon.
That's the best description of the Rogue I've ever heard. "Engineered to last long enough" describes the Rogue exactly. My wife got a 2017 new from the dealer and it appears that the only things they changed from this one is the steering wheel and shifter knob. It has been a rock solid daily driver, but has no thrill factor.
I really enjoy all your videos and appreciate your intellectual anaylisis. Thank you so much. Would you recommend a 2016 awd S? I'm ditching my horrible 20q6 GT PP 5.0 wish a low mile WRX wasn't so crazy expensive. What do you think of subbie legacy? Would it be worth searching for an affordable older one with more miles? Will have to convince my wife lol
Fantastic review as always.
Hey EE, the little box before the throttle body is a resonator. i have an 2009 Sentra SE R which also has the QR25 engine. the resonator is to dampen intake sound. I have taken mine out before as an experiment from the fact that other Sentra owners claimed increased throttle response. from what i could tell, yes the intake ended up giving a louder suction sound, but as for the throttle response,... maybe it did improve but also could have been placebo effect due to my hopes of performance gain from simply removing a plastic box :/
thanks i wanted to see the 3rd row seats how it would fit an 6ft really good review
I like your reviews very much! Please make a video about Toyota Corolla T Sport :)
The Rouge seems to be a good all around vehicle. I wonder though aboutthe long term reliability. A plastic intake manifold and CVT transmission ?I assume that Nissan tested these parts but the intake manifold isone part that takes a lot of wear over time because of the exhaust heat do How do they hold up over the long term ? Also all those sensors forback-up, lane changing etc . I have to ask how much to replace when thewarranty expires?
3698s I have a 1995 GM 3.8 V6 with a plastic intake manifold that failed after 15 years. I wouldn't worry about the plastic intake manifold.
Great job! In this category would you pick Rogue over HRV?
Very good objective review. Thank you very much
Great review. Great job
Hi.have 5 kids aged btw 10 years to 4 months.please recommend a 7 seater to buy?
You say at 65mph the interior noise level is 78 db? That's very noisy. Are you sure you measured that correctly? Usually it should be 68-70 db.
Guest It's a rough highway. The best I've tested was the Cadillac Escalade which was around 70 db on the same road. The Murano I tested was much better than the Rogue.
You should have a look at the cheapest car in america, the nissan versa and see where they cut corners to make it so cheap.
great review, I watched this cause I wanted to hear what you had to say about the back seats..I laughed super hard !
Why laugh?
@@ritaokike4346 because it was funny.. A tall man trying to sit in the 3rd row of a rogue.. He was puzzled !!!
Great review. Can you switch off the AWD? Thanks
small SUV lol:) u got to love America
wanted to see awd test you did in outlander s-awc and forester...
Always weird watching these test drives, thinking dang, this place looks so much like Oregon (TN plates threw me). Now i saw some signs and know exactly where this is taking place :)
I have a question, I am on the market for a new car and my last two options are Nissan Rogue and GMC Terrain. The selling point for me is the mpg, do you have a video of a test drive on the terrain? Also, which car is more fun to drive?
Hey Jason! I'm wondering, as you're into subarus and thus good-handling cars, but you're also interested in fuel economy, why have you never tested any Mazdas on your channel? Personally I'm most impressed by Mazda's recent achievements such as the CX-5 and the 2015 Mazda3 and Mazda6. I'd really like to see what you think about them, I think you'd be impressed Do get a manual though! the manual transmissions on Mazdas are fantastic.
I think Mazda great, and I'm on their approved list. Just need to get some cars in!
I don't get it. How do some models the dame exact have different things? I have the same exact model and mine doesn't come with that radio. I've seen some rogues the same year with cameras on the mirrors. Like isn't each trim the same.
are you sure about those back seats? I mean if they are that creep better not having them at all. good job as usual keep it up
chvella I don't see the purpose of them. I spent time adjusting them before the shoot to see what was possible. That's as good as they get!
Jason, what would be your pick between Nissan Rogue SL AWD and Subaru Forester 2.5L XLS? I am planning to buy an SUV here in Mexico and those are my top picks.
What goporo are you using?!?!?!?!?!
great video! thank you.
can you do a review on the Infiniti G35 2006
I am impressed with the 0-60. The Outback has almost the same horsepower and torque, but it is much slower. How is this possible?Weight , cvt or what? Thank you advance!
Good day Sir, which transmission you think is more reliable? Subaru lineartronic cvt or mazda skyactiv drive? I am also considering nissan but I heard some issues regarding their cvts. Thank you.
can you check out the Mini Paceman?! John Cooper Works Mini Paceman...
great review expect one point----the terrible CVT. but it's not your fault since you only drive it maybe few days or so. cvt is the most horrible thing could be put in a car. It feels horrible and sounds loud plus it's unreliable. It may squeezes out some fuel economy but I won't touch any car that has CVT
keep up the great work and little tips: please do more research on CVTs and do some videos to reveal its disadvantage !
Is your fuel economy test done with the car in “Eco” mode if applicable?
I do all fuel economy tests in "normal" mode.
will nissan's cvt last? cx5 has the traditional a/t gear, i like cvts how smooth it is but will it last? i hope you'll enlighten me on this matter
Nissan told me they sell their Versa with cheap parts and then replace them with higher quality OEM parts. I'm sure that's their business plan throughout their models.
I have this car I luv it
Thank you!
Unbelievable ! could you have push the second row seats up so,you can have room in the back seat? 🤔
Hi can you review the Subaru XV Crosstrek as well?
My dad has a Silver one
Looks like your driving near Boring, right along the Columbia river.
Good review. Those rear seats are absolutely useless.
Are you on Honda's approved list? I would love to see a review on the accord 6mt.
djbk4lyf92 I'm not sure. I just met Acura's PR rep a few weeks ago so hopefully I can work some Hondas in soon.
Used to be a big Nissan fan but have become hesitant as their reliability ratings have fallen off.
great job. seem like a lot of road noise.
Wow,my mom's MDX has way more room in the 3rd row. Kinda reminds me of the brz ' s back seats lol.
Nerdygamer000 Your mom also spent around $25000 more lol
Prolly not that much more, dad bought it used with 40k miles. Plus it's a reliable ride and comfy. MPG is absolute ass tho.
This rogue is not really AWD, its only AWD when you lock it and drive less then 20 mph. Majority of the time is FWD. How can I keep it AWD ?? Regardless of the speed or locking it down. Please help!!! I appreciate it.
all-wheel drive is automatic on Auto model
I bought this rogue because you gave it the Okay. The cvt transmission is horrible. had to be replaced three months later. breaks are horrible: very bouncy under hard breaking. I feel the cvt going to die out like the rotary engine. I do get 30-35 miles to the gallon so.
Mohammed Ali Bhayat had the same problem
Is this the same press vehicle Saabkyle04 received? It looks identical to the one in his review
+asdbs11 It's possible, though we are on opposite ends of the country so it could be a separate press car.
what ever happened to wagons, I liked wagons :(
Valtra103 Yea I want a stegea
Review some electric vehicles possible? the e-Golf?
regardng fuel economy...not surprising to me at all. The madness of 1.6 litre turbocharged engines is just created by the unrealistic official rating drive-cycles.
All you do by strapping on a turbo is shifting the operating points to a higher rpm.
While a 2.5 acts as a 2.5 all the time, the 1.6 acts as a 1.6 down low (where the drive-cycle happens) in the mid range it's just as the 2.5 (no fuel economy improvement over the 2.5 because mid-load is what realisticly happens) and in the higher rpms it will drink like a 3 or 3.5 litre because it gets a high air volume through the turbo.
The only advantage it has is the slightly smaller friction, less weight and some reuse of energy by using the hot and moving exhaust gas.
But it's nice marketing though, because most people don't understand it's always the same 14.7:1 air fuel ratio. It doesn't matter if the air gets in naturally or if it gets forced in by a turbo. I always have a nice comparison here. 2 140ps vehicles: 1) 1.8 Honda Civic i-VTEC naturally aspirated and a 1.2 or 1.4 (don't remember) VW Golf, also 140PS. EXACTLY the same fuel economy, because the VW doen't even have a weight advantage because the use an old-fahioned iron block, while the Honda has a sleeved aluminum-block with coated bores for very low friction. So good fuel economy doesn't come from downsizing and strapping on turbos, it comes from designing engines the right way. Some companies understand the art of that, but many don't.
I learned something new today. So despite all this downsizing, there's hope for NA motors yet!?
I feel like manufacturers can produce NA motors with good economy,but they just choose a cheaper route. But then again there's the Lt1 in the c7 corvette which gets pretty beastly mpg for the power and at a reasonable price too. Not alot of 30 mpg highway v8s that I know of for that price.....
Nerdygamer000 Not really, Markus makes a number of fallacious claims in his posting - ie, engines are generally NOT tuned precisely to the stochiometric ratio for all sorts of good reasons and air/fuel ratio is controlled by the ECU as it monitors the various sensor feedback it is receiving - in fact turbo charged engines normally run quite rich at high boost to avoid knock - however a more highly compressed charge of fuel and air will burn more completely and therefore produce more energy from the fuel than a less compressed charge. Sure a turbo tuned specifically for power, or just badly implemented can indeed return poor economy - but done properly turbo charging a car is just inherently significantly more efficient than N/A.
Matthew Sharpe
It is indeed correct what you say concerning stochiometric ratios. It's never always exactly there, otherwise you would not see any O2 sensor oscillating and cat efficiency would be gone almost completely. Yet you made an important point reagrding fuel consumption: Turbo engines run even more rich than NAs under high load, as they need more fuel to keep down cylinder temperatures and avoid knocking as you say correctly.
And this is all I'm saying, I'm not claiming they are inefficient, I'm not claiming they don't make good power. All I'm saying is: The generalization that turbos are more efficient at the same power level is wrong. And this has been proven numerous times by millions of cars on the road everyday. And this is mainly due to the fact that they are not tuned for higher economy throughout the powerband. They are optimized for stupid unrealistic labroratory tests to get good ratings. (and this is even worse here in europe, in america the drive cycles seem to be much more reasonable)
So my conclusion would be: If these new engines would be built using most modern technology (not iron blocks e.g.) and would be tuned to actual daily driving conditions, then I would expect a larger benefit. As long as this is not the case, I'm not a fan.
Markus Krause Yes, I'd agree with that, you can't just throw a bunch of turbo piping & a new ECU on an old engine and expect it to be super efficient. The idea of using a turbo is to get the same peak power (an generally better mid range torque) from a smaller displacement engine, so your efficiency gains are when you are running off boost (which is the majority of time)
My own car is a 4 litre inline 6 making 400bhp/550ft lb at the wheels and managing a pretty respectable 12 litres per 100km in my real world driving. If you wanted a N/A engine to make that kind of power and torque it'd have to be quite large and would use loads of fuel even when you were just tootling around town - though that's not to say there aren't a lot of N/A fuel saving technologies like modified cycles, cylinder shutdown etc that help too.
Probably the biggest drawback I see to turbocharging small engines is they will wear out a lot quicker and can be expensive to repair, especially given that most people who see their cars as appliances don't look after them properly. That might not be an issue in very wealthy countries where people replace their cars regularly, but where I live the average age of the vehicle fleet is 16 years and people just so often don't give a shit about their cars - it's hard to imagine a 1.6 litre turbo charged engine lasting anywhere near 16 years without proper maintenance.
Matthew Sharpe This is exactly the point. For a beefy big 4.0 the margin for efficiency gains through turbos is higher. No question about that.
The problem is that the modern turbo engies are often constructed like cheap NAs (VW for example, Ford EcoBoosts are a lot more sturdy and seem to hold up much better form what I've seen) while some more sophisticated NAs like from Mazda or Honda can sometimes even be boosted very high on stock internals and still hold up. Fords Coyote 5.0 is another great example, it's pretty efficient for a NA 5.0, but you can slap 2 big turbos on that thing, boost it to 900 WHP and it still won't blow up. (They did that actually to BLOW IT UP...but it wouldn't even after 12 dyno runs). So to my mind it can be done right, but many manufacturers don't do it.
And you make another important point: Turbos require regular good quality oil mainenance and an adpated drive cycle...drive em hot...and drive em cool. I see so many drivers on the Autobahn going 200 kph, pulling over to a rest area and then instantly shutting of their vehicles....there is no better way to kill your turbo by a lack of cooling.and lubrication....
im 6'3 and I really like this car but every review keeps praising the cx5 so I'm really undecided now
+vito libido My opinion would be that the CX-5 is a bit more lively, more fun to drive, while the Rogue is a more comfortable experience.
+Engineering Explained how do you like the all wheel drive performance? did you like the active engine braking active Trace control and Active Ride Control chassis system
What is "Vehicle Dynamic Control"? Is it the same as Traction Control?

no paddle shift ??
Good review!
Forgot to mention the O/D button on the gear shift! =)
Super Dezzy There's an overdrive button on the gear shift. :)
Super Dezzy and when exactly was the last time you used this feature on any vehicle lol....I was more interested in the nav system and how detailed the maps are lol Great Review tho....WAY BETTER than 90% of the stuttering bumbling idiots that do it for a living lol
Actually I use this feature all the time on my rogue! =)
I'm 18 should I get this car or should I get a Infiniti g37 I have 60 thousand saved up.
Someone's mom here... hope I'm not too late! With 60 grand please buy a house because once you drive the car off the lot, it will be worth half! Oh and please invite me over for dinner once you move in :D
Review BMW 4 series coupe PLOX :)
Engineering Explained What percentage of your viewers will have a chance of having a girlfriend if they spend their weekends rewatching your old videos?
How does this compares to forester iL 2.0?
fastcx Badly.
How long will the engine last in opinion.
+Mikes OutDoors I've owned lots of Nissan's, and they always seem to go to the high end of average. With good maintenance it's as reliable as any vehicle. Mine have seemed to quit around 300,000 Kms, replacing rubber and gaskets as required, it'll run for a long time.
300,000-350,000km seem to be the average.
battery went dead at 19k miles. new one installed by Triple AAA at time it happened. Now electrical displays are a video game, on off, back hatch open closed despite nothing happening. what is going on? is this common, is it an easy fix, never ever happened in 5 previous cars. awfully low mileage for battery to die. no I did not leave it running.
the white steering wheel will soon get dirty just by touching it..
Oh look, another bland, glorified toaster.
Why do all these new shitty, heavy, boaty, CVT SUV's always have a 'Sport' mode xD
Liamv4696
So they can race to the next stoplight quicker
Umm... Well my family owns one and I think it's pretty silly that it has a sport mode also, but it should be the normal settings IMO. The Rogue is really about 3,500 lbs - much lighter than I thought it'd be. It's hilariously underpowered though, and I think that's the main complaint I have about it. I really like the design, and it doesn't feel too heavy.
Aren't all the non turbo 4 pots cuv's about the same power wise though. Most of them weigh close to either other as well.
nice legs lol
Wow, I wouldn't have expected Nissan, maker of the ugly but at least original Juke to lift SUV dullness to such new heights. This thing has literally no styling, it's just a couple of boxes shoved together with some wheels attached and some vague nods to aerodynamics. Well done Nissan for making the blandest segment of the market even blander. You'd really just have to not give a shit about what you drive to want to buy this. Looks like the interior guys tried a lot harder anyway.
Sorry i only see gray hairs, and no car
Im not really into all these car review and testing.. I think you made your reputation out of the knowledge you bring to the car community.. In my opinion, i think you should stop those car review and keep it to what you do the best, teaching how technology, performance parts and shit work.. You lose me with the car reviews.. Anyway, keep the good work, peace!
Too bad Nissan CVT transmissions are junk.
Nissan are made so cheap. They lose their value faster than Toyota and Honda. And the CVT they use have been nothing but trouble since they came out. I remember when I drove an Accord, Camry and Altima back to back. The Altima had 13 miles and felt like it had 100,000 miles on it.
Nissan sucks, bmw all the way baby!
I agree that unless you are rich , BMW sucks bad. Very very expensive to keep up. Check on the auctions. German cars are messed up and Nissan and Subaru last longer with less money invested
