i dont understand a word of Czech, but nonetheless an awesome review:

PS: Ms. ImStricken is currently visiting her family(a heard of donkey's :chuckle: ) in Poland for the holidays(10days). She rented a diesel stick-shift Nissan Qashqai, and says its an absolutely AMAZING car. Very much like the rogue, but better due to all the feature and fuel economy. (her own personal small review coming up shortly)
According to her, we rogue owners, really got the bare bones :frown: :tisk: :mad:

Thanks for sharing! I've never understood why the American market is treated like the red-headed (ginger in UK) stepchild. New electronics debut in Japan, but when they come stateside, they're often a crippled version. :confused: Same with autos.

"a heard of donkey's" Ouch! :nono:

i agree, i would like to see adjustable headrests. the crap we have now reminds me of a chevy cavalier.

i have the low-beam indicator light on my speedometer. an annoying green light that i wish was not there. i think i can tell on my own if my lights are on or not.

"plastic engine cover" wtf is that for? i hate those. waste of time having to remove those just to get into something.(especially in an emergency situation)
i remove mine, paint them, and sell them: post6353816.html?hilit=engine%20cover#p6353816

In Canada we have mandatory daylight Running lamps. So when you turn on the engine the headlight indicator (not the low beam, looks like the old parking light indicators: a circle and light rays on both sides) turns on. You can't turn it off. It is on all the time. When you switch on the head lights (low beam), there is no indication on the instrument panel. When you are driving, you can't tell if you turn on the low beams or the DRL are on.

I don't think there is something you want to access every day under the "engine cover". All I see is the spark plugs. I know it sounds funny, but I love detailing the car's engine bay and the place where those spark plugs located is hard to clean. In every 100.000 kms, I can remove four bolts and take the cover out if I want. I don't know, I love to see an engine cover :)
