3:00 yep, better buy a hybrid or ev...
I work with somebody that just bought a nissan versa from carmax. I told her that nissans are not very reliable but she bought it anyway. Now I am just waiting to see if you are correct about nissan.
This is why Scotty keeps running from state to state, nissan is hunting him down.
Nissan has been known to litigate individuals into oblivion.
Good thing we have someone like Scotty to keep us truthfully informed!
Well he ain’t to smart he now lives within 50 miles of Nissan corporate headquarters
Or his Former Neighbor's?
LOL
My 2017 Rogue has 120 k miles. I drive it for work all over NYC, NJ, PA, CT and MA in all types of weather. It has never let me down 👊🏽. Had some repairs done but never been stuck on the road. Oil change, transmission fluid change and other things Scotty recommended have helped.
My old 2008 Nissan Altima has 210k miles, my sister has crashed 3 times and it’s still going 😂.
Your Rogue has an old and reliable 2.5l naturally aspirated engine, this new one is pure trash.
NISMO 4 life over here. 08 Maxima, 12 Altima, and 16 Maxima. Soon, a 21 or 22 Maxima. The Altima and Maxima have been reliable for me over the years. Sad to see the Maxima go.😔
@@NAH14386My family is all Maxima heads, I just wish for the last year they did a surprise manual trim wouldve been a best seller 🥲
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.
Exactly. All relative.
I have 2023 Nissan Rogue and recently drove down to Myrtle Beach from Buffalo and averaged 39.6 mpg ! Pretty impressive I thought. No problems whatsoever with it after one year of ownership! A great SUV .
I drove my 2016 Altima SR last November from FL to NC and back that had 120k miles, and got 42 mpg, making it to NC on 1 tank of gas. 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.
I love my 2024 a lot❤
The 3 cyl turbo engine is bad lol transmission is worse
Just wait……………
Another Buffalonian here. As Scotty stated, they are great when they are new. Nissan just needs to figure out how to not make their cars fall apart after 5+ years. I'd still consider buying another one if I didn't plan to keep it past 5 years or 60k.
After scaring the crap out of Scotty, it turned around and shocked the entire car industry.
Luckily his arms were not affected during the incident 😳😎🤣🤣🤣
That can only happen if Scotty received a cheque from Nissan 😂😂
One of the worst vehicles of the past 5 years. A 3 cylinder junk.
Thanks for a good laugh.
::6 years later::
I have a 2017 Rogue with 165k miles and it's runs like new. It's been a great car.
Any advice you'll like to Share? I just got one and i'm pretty concerned about how taking care of it, so it won't fall apart that CVT..😅
Scotty hates that fact.

This is a MasterClass in modern vehicles by the Professor. Everyone should watch Scotty. I get down on my knees every day and kiss the garage floor that my made-in-Japan Mazda CX-5 Signature rests upon. It's a fabulous vehicle. Thx Scotty!
SCOTTY FORGOT TO SAY THAT NISSAN GETS LESS MILEAGE BECAUSE THE ROGUE IS ALSO AN SUV (HEAVIER) VEHICLE.
Exactly! Compare apples to apples please
And has to be much heavier because of current safety standards.
And I'm sure it's also much faster and more responsive than his old Matrix!
It gets 37 on the highway! That's poor fuel economy!?
My 2023 Nissan Rogue S is the last model Nissan made with a 4-cylinder engine and natural injection, at the time of the car crisis in 2022, this is the only car I could find. Since turbo engines have a lot of complexity, especially this one, I bought the Nissan Rogue S model, and I am very happy with it.
My wife has a 2008 Nissan Rogue all-wheel drive 4 cylinder with no fancy parts are gadgets on it it's an automatic and it runs like crazy great gas mileage no problems cheap to fix one of the best cars in the road I think
Every car is junk in the wrong hands
It's the conclusion am coming to
Very well said😅
The Rouge AWD weighs almost 1000 pounds more than the Matrix. The Matrix is lower to the ground and probably has less frontal area. It's actually amazing the Rogue gets 30mpg.
Matrix and Rogue are the proper spelling
Are you intentionally misspelling these vehicles?
Mine is the x trail e power does more than 40 to the gallon and has
525 NM of torque and 214 BHP because the same motor only charges the battery and runs at a maximum of about 3500 RPM, the battery then powers 2 electric motors, 1 front 1 rear so it drives like an EV just with its own generator, no plugging in or range anxiety, drives great.
@@haroldbeauchamp3770 No.
Scotty compares an apple to 1/4 of an orange. SMH
Scotty - you don’t necessarily have to buy 4 tires. I recently had a flat on my awd car and I had Tire Rack shave a new tire to 7/32 to match the existing 3. Thanks for the video!
Great idea! Thanks
Did they shave the price down too for the loss of rubber?
No they charge you $25 extra for the privilege! @@BigEightiesNewWave
They can "shave" rubber off tires? I'm skeptical that is even a thing, and if it is, I'm willing to bet it gets screwed up a lot and throws the tire out of round.
it actually worked fine - I had it done on my left front tire. no issues. Tire rack has the machine in only one location so it takes shipping an extra day.@@mplslawnguy3389
My 22 Rouge with the 1.5 VC Turbo just turned a year old with 26,000 miles. AWD with the third generation CVT. Great all around transportation vehicle. I get 41 MPG my wife gets 37. Very reliable.
horrible vehicle do to the engine. If you do some research nissan had already law suit do to hundred if not thousands of nissan rogues 1.5l turbo 3cyl engine braking and having a bunch of issues. I also personally know people who have them and already having a bunch of issues.
@@S2XCREWsame here. No one buys Nissans, it’s a flop, trust me.
26,000 miles is nothing compared to VWs that can last 400k km on my Golf.
I think not. All these newer nissans are junk. They are disposable vehicles. All CVT transmissions are garbage. 26,000 miles is not impressive. 400,000 miles is impressive.
@@lotsoftorque3632 400k km is nothing lol in European standard . Mercedes can last more than that.
We have the Rogue and it’s great! Very spacious. Average 32 MPG in the city and 40MPG on the highway.
My 3.0T Audi has a V6, AWD, and gets 28.5 mpg at 70mph. And makes 272hp.
So, for half the engine, they get 1.5 more mpg...
@@firstjohn3123that gas price though
Come back @ 100k. Bet you aren't going to be so enthusiastic 😅
@firstjohn3123 that's what they get in the city. You don't get that in audi. Sorry nice try.
@@firstjohn3123my Infiniti q60 vr30ddtt twin turbo v6 with 400 wheel horsepower on a jb4 cold air intakes and an exhuast, gets 45 mpg at 70mph. Keep in mind the rogue weighs much more and is AWD.
Scotty, you did a video on our 22 Rogue Platinum AWD a year ago. Ours is loaded and gets 37 mpg on the highway and with over 15k miles now, it’s been flawless. Maybe ours being built in Japan makes a difference after all.
Scotty, unfortunately, despite all his years, despite all his experience, despite all his videos, despite all his enthusiasm, despite all his fans automatically assuming that his opinions are the end all..... he has absolutely ZERO clue, and I mean ZEERRROWWW clue, what he is yacking about with this particular vehilcle.
@@Antiorganizer would you care to point out the top three errors Scotty made here? Inquiring minds want to know😎😎😎😎
I think his main gripe is that this particular one has an engine more complicated than it needs to be that produces diminishing returns. The one in yours is just an N.A. v6 which most likely will be a lot more reliable.
Toyota matrix 2010 average 28mpg what....37mpg....out so far
@@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. Scotty completely fell of his rocker on this one. It's rife with incorrect claims.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the 2liter Rogue Sport and change the cvt fluid every 30k miles and the oil every 5k. It’s been perfect.
My brother’s Rogue has 275k without a problem, but it has the 2.5 liter engine.
I have a 2009 Murano with 214000 miles, and it runs like a top. I've kept the oil changed religiously and serviced the CVT transmission every 60k miles. If you buy one, make sure the Vin starts with a J. That means it was assembled in Japan. Oh, all the little dodads work like the day I bought it.
My 14 yr. old Nissan Rogue still runs smooth as butter and is still on it’s original cvt transmission too.😊🎉
You must take good care of it.
How many miles on it? Mine is an 09 w/ 134k. No problems yet.
Ill take a wild guess and say you have under 160k?
You can trash Any car. Don’t believe what you hear on U Tube.
My 2014 Quest w/105k is great!
Americans also have a heavy foot both for hard stops and jackrabbit starts. Just look around and see how fast people are driving today.
Without signaling too
I get better than 30 MPG highway, about 27 town and secondary roads with my 95 Ford Ranger, 2.3 L, 5 speed manual, 2WD. Part of this is that my father taught me how to drive a manual properly. Because of that I not only get great gas mileage, but my brakes last much better than most folks, and at over 172,000 miles the original clutch is still working fine. I just keep it well maintained, oil and filter every 3000 miles or every spring, whichever comes first, and fix problems as soon as they crop up, before they grow into big problems.
Very good truck and engine, I have a Ford Focus with 283k and a manual transmission. I'm sure that your truck will go the distance as well
What fascinates me is that my 1974 Plymouth Duster 225 /6 got upwards of 35 mpg fwy. Yeah, 105hp, but it was all I needed.
No way😮
My first car was a 73 duster with a 225 Slant six ran forever and got fantastic mileage
@@Dankcatvacs went 450 miles all freeway on a single tank with some to spare. Drove from PHX AZ to Rocky Point and back.
55mph speed limit back then. Modern cars can get phenomenal mileage at 55mph.
@@fromthebackofmymind this was 1998. And we definitely weren't doing 55 😄
Scotty, I know you don't care for Hyundai, but I have had great luck with the three I have owned. Right now I have a 2019 Elantra it gets over 30mph in town, and 40mph on the highway. I am a mechanic so I take care of it myself, It has just under 100 thousand miles and so far so good. It has not needed any repairs. I would like to see you do a video on choosing an economical car and keeping it economical. My car does not require anything more than regular gas, I use good street tires that are not skinny/ low profile , I change the oil every 3,500 to 4,000 miles. I drive easy on my engine so it will last, same with the brakes. I did upgrade to LED headlights, my wife loves the LEDs.
Nice, sounds like you have a great car, plus you are a mechanic so it makes easier for you.
So I guess no AWD?
I was looking to buy a Nissan Pathfinder, but after this, I dont know what to think.

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.
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.
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.
The Rogue is bigger than the Matrix. It has 4WD. Those both take away from mpg.
Not that I 'd choose it over a Matrix but they are entirely different.
I would not buy it
@@williegohard1368 I won't buy most CVTs but never a Nisan!
There's an awd Matrix too
@@michaelsprinzeles4022 The CVTs were made by Jatco. They put the same CVT transmissions in the Subarus. Tons of issues! There just not the same car company they use to be.
@@My_Old_YT_Account That's not the same as the Matrix Scotty has. I'll bet it, like the Rogue, doesn't get the same 37 mpg (without the hybrid help) Scotty bragged of.
Did he really just call people with dirty cars "piggies"? 😂 I love Scotty
wait wait wait your telling me Nissan has a new vehicle that can scare the crap out of scotty what magic is this?🤣🤣🤣
Piggies with snot cloths in the storage bins. That might have been his other Rogue video.
I don't know about their other models but I've got an '02 Nissan Sentra ser spec/v and it has been very reliable and easy to work on, cheap parts. It's just a great old car.
It's only got 150,000 miles on it so there's that. I better stop before I jinx it.
Great video man!
Old Nissans yes were well made and quite reliable. But around the new millennium, they were bought by the French and that’s when their quality started slipping downhill. Stuff like their frontier, titan, older pathfinders, xteras, 350z/370z’s, and their manual transmission cars all are pretty decent with reliability. If it has a CVT, I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole and if it has one of those tiny 3 pot engines, I wouldn’t touch it with a 20 foot pole.
Hell has French mechanics
@@Hypnotically_Caucasian French engineers*. There better than the Germans at making things more complicated than they need to be.
@@Hypnotically_Caucasian The engine was develop by Japanese.
@@WNicole1993 it’s all to make a buck and to appease the EPA for fuel economy. They’re more worried about MPG and range than they are about quality
No, Jatco ain’t French trans. The Japanese are the problem, not the French, otherwise no one would be buying Renaults, Renaults make very reliable cars! You can see many last 700k km. No issues at all just treat them nicely.
I don't understand nothing this man just rambled off and said. I have 7 days to either love this car or give it back.
I’ll be trading mine in before the warranty is up. Just bought a brand new one. 5 year 100k mile warranty.
2:38 “Complexity up the WAHzoo...” is all we need to know about Nissan.
I have a 2015 rogue and all I changed on it is the brakes and tires no problems whatsoever!
I have Nissan Sentra 270k miles with the original CVT transmission
Just bought a 2021 Nissan rogue nice video Scotty
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
I’ve been thinking about this Nissan or the Mazda CX-5. Which should I get?
I pulled a 2018 Across the country with 1200 Lbs behind it with a CBT transmission. On ECO MODE!
Still running beautiful months later!
All I know is my 4-motion 2019 Tiquan, 8 speed automatic can break 38 mpg in economy mode on a trip. And so far performs as designed, with pretty good handling.
VW lasts longer than Nissans esp German made vws not Mexican.
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.
The old matrix gets good mileage when you are going around 60mph, but when you go out on our nations freeways where everyone is averaging 80mph, then the matrixs mileage starts dropping off significantly.
I noticed that with my '04 Matrix. Most of the freeways in Texas have limit of 70mph, so my tachometer is almost at 3000 when I'm just going the limit. I can't wait to trade up for at least a 6speed AT.
You are so right! Old 1.6l, 1.8, 2.0l, 4 cylinder engines are a lot better!
2.4L Honda
but small engines are slow. The VG30D 3.0 V6 in my 1991 nissan maxima pulls very nicely from a stop and overtakes beautifully on the highway. Just floor to redline and bye bye slow pos car haha.
Only downside is the 16mpg city and 24 highway, sadly cant drive like a maniac while having good mpg
Can you possibly do a review/ a little video on the 2023 Nissan pathfinder just got ones since there is no more cvt
That’s what I want! I have a 2016 maxima SR and have had ZERO problems with it. 80k on the clock and not a single electric or mechanical problem outside of routine maintenance. The VQ’s are solid engines though. What motor is on your pathfinder?
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.
Without Nissan, Scotty would be out of business.
Excellent information Scotty but I would only buy Hondas with good and safe engines and good engineering !
Just make sure you DON'T buy a three cylinder engine. Stick to the 2.0 liter 4-cylinder Honda engine or higher. GDI is a problem IMO unless it has port injection included like a Toyota multi-port engine.

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.
Found all this mess out the hard way luckily I got my money back! 😅😅😅 Thanks for all the very valuable info as always Scotty 👍🏽❤️🔥💯

Drove a 2024 SV trim as a rental. This is the most uninspiring vehicle I've ever driven. Feels ultra cheap, doesn't ride particularly comfortably and the materials feel like they were pulled right out from the budget bin. It did not inspire confidence that it would be reliable 5 years down the road. Also, the CVT makes the engine loudly drone under load. In fact, the vehicle felt more sluggish than a 2011 Corolla we once owned.
For a brand that advertises 'performance' and 'sportiness', this thing is an embarrassment.
They could of made a 50mpg cars a long time ago but they need to keep big oil happy😮
If it has a Nissian CVT transmission they fail after 13,000 to 135,000 miles. Great if under warranty but terrible if your warranty is expired. It can't be rebuilt. Have to buy a new transmission. I was quoted 2 thousand to remove the bad transmission, another 2 thousand for the new transmission, another 2thousand to install the new transmission plus the cost of synthetic transmission fluid, hose or line replacement, filters,-- I then asked what is the most a replacement transmission job has ever cost at that dealership? I WAS told 11 thousand and change. I scraped the car.😊😮
Literally the exact same thing happened to me. In my case, I bought the Sentra at an auction and drove it for years. Got rid of it to a mechanic that was going to put a rebuilt in it.
There's a reason there were a couple of Nissan SUVs at the copart auction that were burnt to a crisp. That horrible CVT. Whether the transmission caught fire or had some help catching fire, I'll leave it up to you to decide.
@@DaleWilly That's 100% NOT true, my Rogue transmission went out at 65,000 miles. Had all the "PROPER" maintenance done to it. Nissan even had a class action lawsuit against them over there transmissions, they are simply weak transmissions!
@@TheCaptjamestkirk what you call proper maintenance oil change 60,000miles? Because he is referring to 3000 miles. And yes CVT oil change, people who change their CVT at 3000 miles have not have one single failure. The problem with Nissan older CVT , before 2019 is overheating, and happen mostly in city driving, in stop and go traffic. when oil overheat it loss viscosity, when lose viscosity, metal rub together and break down. So if the oil is not change regular you will have a transmission failure.
@@cb5110 3000 oil change? Do you mean 30,000? No I didn't wait till 60,000, I had mine done at 30,000 and 60,000 at the dealer. People who change their CVT fluid at 30,000 never had a problem? LOL, show me the proof on that untrue stupid comment! Getting better after 2019 doesn't do a damn thing for all the transmissions till 2019 does it? Still to early to tell how long the new CVT's will last, I personally would never own one again.
1963 VW got 40 mpg at 60 mph. Now, it took awhile to get to 60……(40 hp).
Once got 44 mpg at 50 mph on level ground. Manual trans.
I have a 07 Honda Pilot with 165k miles and it runs great only problem I have with it is that it makes some scratching noises when I accelerate and on startup the timing belt squeaks
These brand new, newest-generation Nissan Rogue's are excellent compact crossovers, compared to the older models.
Have a used 2015 Rogue Select AWD . I found out about the transmission issues with them right after I bought it with 161k on it. Immediately did a transmission flush and so far its fine. It does only get about 26mpg and its not gonna win any races, I kind of have to step on it to get up to highway speeds.
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.
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.
i have a nissan Altima 2015 and it has 175k miles on it and ive not had any super major issues yet
The Nissan rogue 3 cylinder VC turbo engine actually gets 30 city and 37 highway. I have driven it around myself and can get up to 40 mpg after a short trip. I don’t know where he’s getting this info and this whole video just sounds biased against the new rogue. It’s not even a comparable vehicle to a Nissan matrix, which btw actually gets worse than 30 mpg, and is nearly half the size of a new rogue. All those trouble codes are normal, most new cars get misc codes like that when you unplug the battery. You don’t get a dash light for it so why even bring it up as an issue? The owner said it was running fine. This video really is just an unfair exaggeration.
I can almost guarantee you the reason why those codes popped are all due to the amp-meter on the negative battery terminal. They are tuned too low for anyone that doesn't drive the car every single day for at least 30 minutes at a time, letting the car idle is not enough to charge the batteries. Leaving the car 2-3 days without driving it will drain the battery and set those codes. I've seen it on pretty much every new Nissan I have worked on that has that amp-meter installed, those codes are always sitting inside tucked away.
That is not to mention if you don't clean the throttle plate properly, or have it cleaned and idle relearned (around every 20-30k miles), it'll set a P0101 MAF SEN CIRC DTC. People will go get it scanned, and try to solve it themselves by replacing the Mass air flow sensor. Do not do that! Especially if you try to install an aftermarket sensor! New Nissans do not like to cooperate with aftermarket electricals!
Also, if you have a Kicks, do not use aftermarket engine air filters, not even the cheaper one that Nissan themselves offer, OEM only!
I have seen those trip a P0101 and confuse the hell out of mechanics trying to solve the concern.
Fair opinion, but what new technology doesn't scare the crap out of you?
Apparently most people. They keep buying new cars with all that new technology lol. And don't ask me about Tesla owners 😂
Probably best to sell it while it's still under warranty for a few thousands miles, the value might be a lot higher since the new owner has some time to get warranty work done if they decide something is needed.
Also apparently Hybrid AWD does not have the "replace all tires at once" limitation as there's no driveshaft, there's only an electric motor in the rear.
I have a 2018 rogue with 113k and have never had any transmission issues lol
Hi Scotty Kilmer, I just want to that you compare the Nissan Rogue engine with the Euro 6 pollution standard with the cars that maybe have Euro 2. And really that old car can have less fuel consumption because NOx pollution is not so limited in Euro 1,2,3 and this allows to create less rich fuel mixture in cylinders that provide more fuel economy.
You are fighting physics. Also these SUVs are bloody heavy. Power to weight... 90's Nissan's made in Japan are the best :)
I’m staying on the Toyota/lexus train until further notice
I agree, just bought a new 22 4runner trd pro last yr. We are bailing on Honda for good after a long line of good ones, the paint job on our last 2014 at 60K has pretty much failed. 7-8 yrs and paint is done for. No excuse for that, the clearcoat has failed over the entire vehicle. No mechanical problems with the crv but did replace tiny oem batt with a 24F due to low voltage from day one. Wasn't enough reserve voltage to play the radio for 20 mins sitting. The 24F batt fixed all that as well as alarm system now doesn't run down the batt.
Unlike Scotty you won’t get a check in the mail.
Mr. Kilmer I own a 12' Altima in it's 13th year on the road and it's been bulletproof including the CVT transmissIon. I would put it up against ANY of your beloved 12' Camry's as far as reliability. So much for your saying that Nisson CVT's are crap. How would my CVT last 13 years if it was crap?
ppl dont know what maintenance is, they drive for years w/o changing fluids than moan that the cars a pos.
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.
Hey Scotty. I have a 2006 Matrix 4WD with 216,040 miles and it gets 36mpg on the highway.
I am an engineer by training and trade. Fewer moving parts and complexity is better most of the time.
Turbos preform but, don't last over 100,000 miles.
There are so many moving parts in that Rogue engine. I bet there will be many in junk yards before 150,000 miles with
few making 200,000 miles.
I used to love Nissan's cars and trucks. I wish a Japanese company would buy them back and make them great again...
Nissan engines are made in Yokohama, Japan and it's transmission is made in Japan. How much more Japanese do you want it to get?
@@josephkelleher8820 why are their transmissions crap?
@@richfarfugnuven6308 CVT Renault
My mercedes c300 gets 38 miles per gallon on highway.. Also has 270 hp..
Scottys matrix has 120 hp..
Huge difference in weight between both cars affects fuel economy. Americans don't want a small Toyota. They want a huge heavy SUV.
My company had these as a few work vehicles, going stop & slow, in parking lots, around campuses, in high pedestrian areas, parking ramps.
ENGINE FAIL in less than 2 years
Scotty is right
The only new Nissan I’d buy is the GTR, it’s reliable, and still built in Japan.
So is the Armada.
i got my 2023 rogue 5 days ago and this man just got me in great fear and regret...
Sell it
I have a 2024 and it is awesome
For all women out there never get extended warranty dealerships are never honest never fix your car. Instead find a local mechanic with 5 star reviews be nice to the guys there and they will maintain your car better than any dealership and your car will last many years
I just got a brand new 23 s and I love it and it gets 37mpg. Also way better than my previous 2015 ford escape s 2.5l ...that thing was a 1 owner and had 108k miles. It was a pos. Mint condition in looks in and out but that's it. I bought the Nissan new 2023 with 445miles and I do about 6k miles a yr so I'll trade it in around 2-3 yrs. All that technology is only good for so long. Also I got it for 26k with warranty.
I have a 2023 one and its awesome, and i use to be a car guy...
😂 pop
Complexity up the Wahzooo
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.
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?
@@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!
I have a Mitsubishi Mirage 2020 I bought second hand only 40,000 miles on it. I Gotten it for 4,000 dollars. What do you think ? Yes I bought it already.
I love my 90s vehicles. Perfect mix of technology and simplicity imo.
Freakin love my 99 Impreza.
Yeah,I like stuff I can fix myself,the people I know with new stuff and the bills they get when it invariably goes bad!
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.
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. I know some folks who had AC issues (2016 model) that caused them to switch out. But even though ours was originally a rental, she's still going strong! 🤞
I don't know how Scotty gets 37 mpg in that Matrix. I had a 2005 Manual Corolla and I didn't get that much.
But then again Scotty claims to get 55 mpg in a new Rav 4 non hybrid 😂 .
Scotty should make an appointment with his optometrist. 35 looks like 55 to him and 27 looks like 37
🤣
My last Nissan was a 2005 model and as far as I'm concerned they turned to junk after that year
Well done killing what was once a great brand
3 cylinders will have unbalanced forces causing shaking.
Yeah, this is where you get it all wrong. See, you're not comparing it apple to apple. That Matrix is a small car. You need to compare it against Highlander 2004 or Honda Pilot 2004 which has comparable size to this Rogue. Those cars probably have something around 20-22 mpg top compared to Rogue's 35-37 mpg. BIG difference. More than 50% lower gas consumption. That's where those technology comes in
Scotty,
This is Alex of Ottawa, Canada. I have been shocked to find out today that BMW and Audi now sell their vehicles without spare wheels. Instead, they recommend calling the roadside assistance. I am afraid that other companies may jump on the same bandwagon. How probable in your opinion could be that people vote with their dollars against this stupidity, and the car makers would pay attention?
That guy is wrong my brother has a 2023 that gets over 40 mpg. It runs flawlessly. He runs at 60mph.
Matrix - 126hp, 30mpg city, 36 mpg hwy
Rogue - 201hp, 30mpg city, 37 mpg hwy
I had a 2016 Nissan Sentra. Transmission died around 80k miles. They know the CVT transmission is trash and replaced it paying 90% of cost. I’ll never buy a Nissan again. My 94 jeep Cherokee engine died at 320k miles and the transmission never had an issue it’s whole life.
There was a class action lawsuit which covered the transmission up to 84k miles
Look for your refund
I had the similar car mines went out at 84k miles
@@hooddiee I’ve long since gotten rid of that car. Hopefully the info can help someone else though
Nissans were very good cars...back in the day. I've heard that Nissan merged with Renault (the crappy French car company) and since then the quality of Nissans have deteriorated. They are KNOWN for having transmission problems! I think it is a wise decision for anyone who has one of these, to GET RID OF IT BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES!!! I had a 2011 Rogue and I didn't have any problems with it BUT, I only had it for 15 months. After watching a lot of Scotty's videos AND talking with mechanics, I decided NEVER to by another Nissan!
Lots of time, Scotty does not know what the hell he’s talking about. I have a Nissan Rogue SV, 2020. For four years, I have not had any issue with my car. Great little car! I have driven the car all over the place and it gave me great mileages. And in between, I do get inspection every now and then. I would not trade my car for any vehicles.
Most of these cars now are freaks of mechanical nature!
Really great video, I have the 1litre Juke, and it's virtually the same.
35mpg is very doable in the rogue if you drive it like a grandma. It's an all-wheel drive SUV that weighs 3700 lb and puts out roughly 215 hp. Toyota's hybrid SUVs come close to that kind of fuel economy.
WHen he says this is not a long term vahicle, you go out and you see all the first gen rogues crusing like new, no rust, no leaks ...a car that is twice as heavy than that 1000 bucks matrix, is it even worth compare? one thing I have to say ...I've had toyotas, hondas, and nissans and they are by far the best deal ...cheaper than hondas ...more expensive than toyotas but just the right deal.
I have a friend who works at the Nissan plant up the road in Smyrna, TN. I won't say what he does so as not to incriminate him, but he has told me repeatedly NOT to buy a Nissan because they're junk. Stick with Honda or Toyota, he says, and he bought a new one of one of those two this year... and he gets employee purchase deals with Nissan! 😮
Daughter owns a 2019 Nissan Versa SV, 1.6L I-4 NA engine. That car is horrible in gas mileage and maintenance. The radiators, there are two of them, are angled towards the Driver side of the front grill, had to install a new fuel Pump, new Alternator, new Battery, and new tires. On top of that, the Versa has already been recalled twice for the backup camera, has another one to correct the last two recalls, and now it's throwing a computer code that says the ECM can not communicate with the BCM and the TCM. Yes, Nissan looks good, but like Scotty said, they are rolling piles of junk.
