Nissan Juke SUV (2010 - 2019) 1.6 Visia 5d (2011/61) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Different (for now, there will be loads of them around shortly).

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all think its fun and like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

If other trim's have a better gear ratio for motorways then I would try them. WOuld not by the base model again as you get so much more in the next one up for only £1000 more.

What are you likely to buy next?

Who knows...

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£13,500

When did you buy the car?

October 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not really, there is a high demand for them so getting much thrown in was hard.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

The styling and spacious cabin.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, knew his stuff, standard sales man.

What's it like to drive?

Quite nippy and can handle motorways, however the gear ratio is poor for motorway driving. You will be doing around 5,000 rpm just to go 75-80 on the motorway. This makes it very loud on motorways. There is lots of wheel spin if you go to hard from a roundabout. Can overtake comfortably at speed.

What's it like to park?

Easy enough, but the contours of the body can be deceptive if you use the side mirrors to reverse park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not yet, but its not been long. Feels very solid.

What's most practical about your car?

Good size cabin compared to other small cars.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Don't really have one, the base model isnt really blessed with quirky kit. The speedometer dials look nice and the centre console is quirky.
