cars. give me the slightest chance and I will dump everything I know on you. I just love explaining how specific systems work

can you tell me something cool about my 2012 Nissan Rogue AWD. I've had it for a few years and I think it's really lame so something cool to use to flex against other people would be awesome

[–] strawberry@kbin.run 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

haha no. rogues are some of the worst cars to ever roll off a production line. the cvt transmission in them is so bad that it rarely makes it past 60k

[–] bermuda@beehaw.org 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh that's fun to know. Mines at 46k right now.

[–] strawberry@kbin.run 1 points 7 months ago

haha we lucked out actually. my moms rogue started going out at 110k, and my dads altima (also CVT) made it to 220 before we sold it. so, hopefully yours makes it :)

Hmmm...

Can you confirm your model year has the V8 engine? Wikipedia says it went from a V4 to V8 in 2012, with a top speed of 265km/h (164mp/h) or 282km/h (175mp/h) in sport mode, which seems crazyy for a crossover.

The later generation Rogue was merged into the Nissan X-Trail, making it consistent with internationally sold vehicles and it does NOT have a V8 engine of any kind.

Wikipedia gota be wrong because there was maybe one or two cars to ever come with a v4 and it ain't a rogue

do u have link? Wikipedia says they've only ever come with I4, and they're still making rogues to this day

edit: my bad, they merged in the international market (wherever that is) but not the us

I can definitely check later. The gauge does go up to 160 mph but id be surprised if it can even go 120. Fastest I've gone in it was 90.
