    Today I'm in a Nissan Juke. This is a car I've always disliked and never understood. If you run the Nissan Juke fan club, probably best if you don't watch. Ignorance is bliss, after all.

      @@e_lifeuk7916you may not like the designs but it's hassle free motoring and they don't collaborate with the Europeans with exception of the latest Supra.(no comment there) 🤐Honda Lexus and Toyota are the top three performing brands in terms of reliability and customer satisfaction. Nissan is essentially a Renault so there's a lot of French electrical baggage that's comes with it. If you want a real Nissan buy one from the 90's K11 Micra, skylines, Pulsar GtiR, 200 zx/Silvia 300 Zx/Fairlady or even the current Nissan GtiR which is made in Japan. 🇯🇵🗾😎😁

    I think the Juke is very much indicative of the times we are living in: Ugliness is lauded, being aggressive is a must, and elegance is an obsolete concept. This is why this car is so popular. My neighbor loves hers and is on a 3rd one by now. To me, it's simply an aberration. Not to be outdone, Toyota decided to come out with the CH-R, another beauty.

    Well the styling and the size of the juke are it's major selling points - the juke basically started the super compact crossover segment, and most other manufacturers after that tried to make their own juke (and I believe none had the same success) - lifted super compact crossover with untrivial looks - C3 aircross, 2008, ecosport, captur, kona, stonic, mokka, 500x etc.

    I have watched and enjoyed all your reviews and agreed so keep up thee good work, but I have to disagree with a lot of this review.
    Having owned a Juke while living in Canada which was an AWD version with 186 HP I can say that it was absolutely brilliant in snow conditions, the three position select-able switch for Front wheel only, On Demand and all time AWD facility was excellent, also in dry weather the 186 HP engine was no slouch either.
    I do think you are correct about the front styling but the side and rear views I think are not bad at all, there are a lot worse looking vehicles out there, it would appear that with over one million sales the styling seems to appeal to a lot of people, I think that maybe people are missing the point, the styling was meant to be something fresh and different?
    We did find it to be a practical, totally reliable vehicle
    Also perhaps we should give Nissan some credit for designing something a little different to the numerous bland vehicles out there ??

    Think you might have this in stock for a while after this review ! Sometimes cars that have radical styling are popular because so many cars are boringly similar, suvs are generally big ugly things hard to distinguish one from another and after the original mk 1, I'm convinced the Golf design team just have a meeting to decide what enlargement setting to put on the photocopier when they want a new model. Another great honest review.

    I admire your straight to the point honesty when reviewing cars and have to agree the Duke is one real oddball, I've never seen the appeal to be fair?
    I like your sales technique, most car dealers would be singing it's praises and telling us how wonderful they are and how enriched our lives would be having a Duke in the family!😁
    Reminds me about an Alfa Romeo I rang up about, the seller spent around half an hour explaining how I really didn't want to be buying his car, how bad it was, how unreliable it was, how expensive the parts were, how much grief the electronics had given him, how many times it had let him down......I couldn't believe how determined he was that I didn't end up with his money pit of a car!! What a top bloke, still never worked out why he was trying to sell it though? 😁👍😎

    3 years ago folks thought the Juke looked pretty wild. Now, stack it up with several of the Hyundai small crossovers, it doesn't look so odd. Heck, I would rather have a Juke than a Toyota CH-R...or whatever it's called.
    Unfortunately, another interesting Nissan that was ruined in the U.S. by having that darn CVT. (There was 1 model/trim level that had a manual transmission, but they are/were extremely rare over here.)
    BTW, I thought there was a new Juke recently released?

    It's a bit odd that a self-declared car egghead doesn't know how to 1) raise the seat and 2) adjust the mirrors, to maximise road view in both directions :).
    You also have the seat angled backwards, which adds to the poor viewing angle.
    I'm 5'2" and not exactly hugely knowledgable about cars in general, yet I manage to optimise my driving position, mirrors, seat height and angle [bolt upright, none of this lazy lolling backwards nonsense].
    I am somewhat confused by your comments about noise, there are times when I'm at a standstill and sometimes wonder if the car is actually switched on, it's that quiet.
    Also about it being cramped for the driver, this is a bloody nonsense for the average person [even my mechanic can fit in the driving seat, and he's a 20 stoner at the minimum]. If you want more room maybe you should buy an RV with armchair seats, or shrink your head, a difficult choice :)

I can honestly say it spoiled the holiday slightly because when you get back from the beach to this piece of automotive poo your heart sinks, because your knees are cramped and you feel like you’ve been crammed into a matchbox - the lilo on the beach has more comfort than this car.

Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful to be given any car, and its a decently expensive car (I don't know why). I passed literally about 3 months ago. This Juke is my first car, and what a first fucking car it is. I am not a car guy or a skilled driver, but I will tell you mate that clutch is awful, the biting point is not easy in that car (it seems like its too high, idk if im delusional. Its resulted in me rolling back a few times from steep hills.), and its a 2019 model with no safety features, no hill assist, no reverse camera, no parking sensors, and im in London and frankly dont want such a large car that doesn't offer any of the benefits you get from large cars (as you specified),
    I find the handbrake not too reliable too and usually sometimes need a few clicks before its set (could be a problem just with mine). It is ugly isn't it. Smh, idk why I was given a mums/nans car.

    Although not my favourite car I like when car makers are bold enough to try a new direction. I think the car looks funky and fresh and lays an interesting design template for future iterations. Hardly anyone liked the Porsche Panamera of Cayenne when they first came out but with each new version the cars were progressively tweaked until now, for me, the Panamera is now a stunning looking vehicle. And I can already see that happening with the Juke. The latest version has kept the recognisable shape but tweaked the design in certain key areas, and it now looks much more aggressive and purposeful, a bit like a jacked-up 370z.

    I think that 1.5 DCi gets a bad rap because it’s usually in the sorts of cars that get run by people who have no clue how to look after a turbo diesel. They’ll be run on fuel with twigs in it, miss already extended service intervals (set by manufacturers trying to appeal to fleet purchasers) and use them to do short runs. Hey presto, blown turbos, knackered fuel pumps and blocked DPFs! I had one in a Clio, did silly miles in it but serviced it every 6 months (9k ish) and used premium fuel when my apprentice wages would stretch to it. Last MOT recorded 190,000 miles!

    Matt I’ll tell you the reason why people love crossovers so much it’s long but it’s worth reading. So basically People think that hatchbacks and mpvs are for geeky nerds so they buy an suv because they “look cooler” and look less like a “soccer moms car”. So everyone buys a crossover thinking they’re different and cool but remember all trends fade away like how everybody used to like Ford mondeos then that trend faded. So soon people will get bored of jukes and buy a new trendy car from the future

    Love the channel.
    Up to 6 months ago I would have agreed with you whole heartily.
    Then it came to replace my wife's car and she said she wanted a Juke.
    Her wish list was a car that was small (for ease of parking & good fuel milage) but high up (visibility and ease of getting into)
    DAB radio
    4 doors
    4 electric windows
    Good fuel mileage but with a bit of go.
    Well we bought a 14 plate 1.5 Desiel Teckna with lowish miles for £7500.
    Good value. Leather. Sat nav. Reversing & 360 camera. DAB radio. Folding mirrors. 4 electric windows.
    The styling has grown on me and I really like it. Slightly harsh ride is my only gripe.
    So many small cars have windup windows in the back or are gutless when you want to get going.
    The Juke we bought has plenty of go. I borrowed it when my car was having work done. It was stable and quiet on the motorway. I didn't even realise I was doing 110mph.
    The boot is small but we don't need it it be huge. There is little room in the back but its plenty for our 7yr old.
    The lights up top are brilliant because you can see them from the driver's seat so you know where the foremost edge of the car is.
    The handles on the back are a bit high but most parents open the door for young children to get in anyway.
    It's not bland like almost all the cars you mention that are better. The side profile is wonderfully funky.
    I'm sorry but the Ford B & C Max along with the Eco Sport are the worst looking car on sale.
    I've had a new Ford and when it got to 80000 mile it had problem after problem. Never again will I buy Ford.
    Our daughter's school has a private road leading up to it which is flooded half the year. Not a problem in the Juke.
    Nissan must be doing something right because it's a sales success.
    Different people have different priorities. For my wife it's the perfect car.
    I wouldnt have one myself because (I know this is sexist) it's a girls car.
    But it's a very good girls car.

    I got one as a courtesy car while my car was being serviced, and it was so boring. It was a bottom of the range model, so no toys to play with in the cabin. The engine was a 1.4 petrol, and you could pull away in 3rd, then it would take 5th gear from about 20mph - it was about as close to an automatic as a manual car could get. It took forever to reach 70mph and really didn't want to go any faster, except once when travelling downhill with a following wind.
    It was surprisingly big on the outside without translating that to the cabin. If it was a Micra on stilts it would probably be an okay car, but it's a Micra in a fat suit on stilts, and someone in Nissan's design team should have 'lost' the blueprints before they got anywhere near engineering. Maybe they did, so the engineers had the platform ready and tried their hand at designing the coachwork to put on it...
