Definitely agree on the fact it has aged well. The unusual styling - like it or loath it - still looks modern. They did something different with the Juke and though it gets a lot of hate from 'car people', Nissan were rewarded for their crazy design as they sold an absolute load of them. The ride could definitely be better but as you say it's a fairly refined car.

Absolutely, they took the polarising opinion route and it paid off. Thousands sold, perhaps not to enthusiasts as you state, but they judged the market right. It could be interesting the compare the original with the facelift, like the one you reviewed, in case they did in fact make some adjustments to the dynamics under the radar - as I hold to the fact this is the worst car I've driven dynamically, and that's against a Corolla, Volvo, CR-V and many more... MX-5 too of course, but that's superior to most in the dynamics department!

If the looks are an issue, just get it in purple. Then you can pretend that the Covenant from Halo made a car.

You can adjust the internal lights on the speed dial etc so they are always bright

I had found the brightness adjustment, but they still dimmed when you turned the car's lights on.

Turn the internal lights up when your lights are on, they should stay bright all the time, I have a 2012 acenta premium in grey, had it since new, cracking little car

I think the Juke gets so much hate because of the CVT transmission. I love my 2014 but starting to get the CVT whine and it'll need to be replaced. About $5,000 USD for a new CVT...

Maybe. I'd say most people judge it on design alone. Trying to be fair, I put this aside to focus on the dynamics, of which I hated. From what I hear, people like the facelifted model onwards. I suspect they improved the dynamics. That's horrendous, that's how much my whole Juke cost! Nissan aren't the most reliable Japanese cars. I'd go for a Honda, Toyota or Mazda.

@@eddiearies I hear that. Next car is going to be something a bit faster and more expensive. Been pricing Kona N, GR Corolla, and some others around that price range. I can't stand the looks of the new Type R sadly.

Ys that's right. Actually it's across all Nissan cars,. They use Jatco CVT transmissions that break down much faster then any other. They are so costly to replace too.

Does this juke come with start stop, parking cameras and blind spot detectors? Mine a 1.2 tekna needs it with its limited visibility

@eddiearies 7 ай бұрын

All of those features are available on Nissan Jukes, but it depends on age, trim level and options.

I’m test driving a 2014 1.5 diesel juke in white on Tuesday. I’ve heard a lot of stick about the diesel version though 😢 my options are the juke and a 2015 Vauxhall meriva. Any thoughts? I know to most people they’re such old cars now but I’m buying second hand within a budget.

@eddiearies 7 ай бұрын

The diesel has never had a shining reputation for reliability, although some people have a decent experience. Vauxhall doesn't either. I can't recommend the Nissan as my brakes also failed without warning. I've had no experience with the Meriva so can't comment, but would look at the Kia Sportage if within budget. The Nissan is also very impractical as the boot is very small and a weird shape. There's a lot of them on the road though and mine was 2011, but I personally can't recommend them.

@@eddiearies The unreliability on the diesel could have been explained more. 200K diesel, very few issues, expect to do another 100k but fully expect 'to get to know my car more fully' in that time, if you know what I'm trying to say, lol.

@@haynesdavis-m3p Echoing the majority of the articles on the early 1.5 diesel Jukes, reviewers tend to recommend avoiding the diesel and going for the less problematic petrol. As with all modern diesels, the DPF is prone to blockages if not driven at speed frequently. Transmission issues are common and on 2011 models the timing chain is known to break, causing engine failure, but that is on both petrol and diesel models. After a few months of ownership, the Juke's brakes failed so I moved it on quickly. Your mileage is impressive, and I am glad that it has proven sturdy for you. It must be well looked after!

@@eddiearies I'm from the uk, so my diesel has a timing belt, which so far I've changed twice. And yep, the DPF is starting to give me some problems, might well get a new one this next year, before the MOT lol.
