OV53 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Could this be a future purchase for the missus? I'm quietly impressed with what I am looking at here. Quote
Ewan27 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 It's so ridiculous, it's good Prefer it in white I think Quote
AliveBoy Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Not really a fan of those wheels, look a tad wolfrace to me. I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with OV53 1 Quote
rabbitstew Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 The juke is an acquired taste. I got a brand new 1.5dci one for the missus back in Dec 2011. Took me quite a while to warm to it but now its not a bad fun little car. It has its quirks and the engine took about 15000 miles to loosen up. It still has a massive turbo lag being a little diesel engine, but once you get used to slipping the clutch and staying in a lower gear when you approach roundabouts etc its easy enough to drive. Handles pretty good too on the back rounds for such a high up car. Wouldnt mind test driving a nismo one just to see how they compare! Quote
mattross1313 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Had the pleasure of driving one last week, in white, love them! Really nippy for a 1.6T petrol, took me by surprise actually. Good power/torque figures, handles nice, and a really positive gearbox. A serious contender should i ever need a 'sensible' car Quote

They dropped a GTR engine into it for the Juke R so there is obviously an element of fun there! The whole thing looks fresh, 1.6 turbo kicking out 200bhp shows that it ain't no god damn slouch either. The first thing on my list of things to do would be to get better wheels and drop it about 3 inches though, it's just so damn high! Quote
mattross1313 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 But i do agree with the wheel comment above - they looks really cheap! Let down the car. Quote

KyleR Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Decent looking wee cars, but isn't £5k a bit much of a premium for 10 extra HP and a few subtle body mods? Quote
OV53 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 Decent looking wee cars, but isn't £5k a bit much of a premium for 10 extra HP and a few subtle body mods? £2.5k Quote

OV53 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 The 2wd one is the one you want for £20k new. The Ntec or whatever that is 190bhp is £17.5k. You must have been talking about the standard Ntec being £5k cheaper, but that is only 110bhp. £18k is a steal for a slightly used one but for £18k I could get a 5 year old RS4 with decent miles! Quote
KyleR Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I just had a peek on the website before posting earlier and seen the 190ps version for 17.5 and Nismo for 22K and some change, didn't bother looking at different packs etc. Quote
un1eash Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 This is top runner for being the replacement to our Alfa GT. There was one for sale for £15k at Nissan Cambridge the other week, cheapest 2wd manual at the moment is £16.5k. Quote
AK350Z Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I had a cooking one on courtesy hire and thought it was a bit bobbins. The Qashqai I had last year was a far nicer drive, and doesn't waste load space with funky body panels. Quote
alexdax Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 MAN i like it... what a great looking female car... Quote
Chris AME Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Going to look at one of these with the girlfriend on sunday Quote
zxrob Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 My missus has the 1.6 petrol tekna, cracking little car and quite nippy when you put it sports mode (not as she ever does), echo mode however feels like it drops to 10bhp Rob Quote
M13KYF Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 saw a silver one at the weekend. not good imo Quote
zxrob Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 saw a silver one at the weekend. not good imo The juke looks @*!# in silver, white, red and black are fine Rob Quote
