Any Nissan Juke Fans?

[Iron Chef]

I'm keen to get the Juke on SEVS, but I need an article (not an online one, a real magazine) on it to get it over the line. Anyone got a UK mag with a comparison in it?

Is this the successor to the terrano II? it looks like a small suv like the dualis, have nissan sorted out these issues with the juke?

Nissan is recalling 28,294 2011 Juke models to fix a sensor bracket that may separate from an air inlet tube. The vehicle may go into "fail safe" model and the warning light will turn on. If a driver continues to operate the vehicle, it may stall during idling and in rare cases may not restart.Nissan said its testing over the last year in the U.S. showed that the vehicle would not stall without warning at higher than idling speeds. But Nissan said it has seen recent incidents in foreign countries of vehicles stalling without first going into "fail safe" mode. In those cases, the vehicles couldn't be restarted. Dealers will replace the air inlet tube if necessary. The vehicles were built between April 2010 and May 2011.

hope it gets over the line, so much better than the micra and Xtrail. not sure what it would be marketed against.

They came with a 1.6 litre direct injection turbo with six speed manual, that's why I'm interested

^^yep i hear you there. i could almost talk the other half into one with an auto though

she doesnt like the stags or cubes but wants something styled like this. they would have to be high 20'S or above wouldn't they??

Alphard ....... what happened ?

[dirtyRS4]

IMO nissan elgrand VQ35DE would be a better option, at least the alphard was available in 4WD.

the dualis shares HR15DE/MR16DE motors and similar trans specs, so is the dualis/quashqui the predecessor to the juke??

[boiracer]

i'd only seen the silly/ crazy Juke R thingy that nissan built until now....omg why does it have 2 sets of headlights?? hideous

* i know...not a very constructive post. but it keeps the thread alive?

cost though- think about it. whilst I understand what you are trying to do have a look at the Z11 market. these things are still sitting in lots at $15k and from my understanding are a bit hard to move.

I can't see a $20-25K juke going anywhere fast myself. if the mainstream guys (and the ones we have in common) get them then its going to be a minefield trying to find one thats straight and not wet.

seems someone has a different idea in brissy. I saw a early toyota Will V putting around today with a trade plate on it . I think gearing was driving it.

Yeah but you're old and you don't get that young people like Jukes

I've got someone in Sydney prepared to drop folding on the test car and pay for all the testing too. Like most newer cars, they may not be a good bet now, but they will be in a couple of years.

[Iron Chef]

And I will laugh heartily if Gearing is seriously considering the Will V...

Well, it's a start!

he already has a mitsi M there.. (fuel version of the MIEV) so if would not surprise me.

if you have someone ready to commit that sort of money then by all means. I still do not see it going anywhere myself.

most of the guys I know have moved away from cars and gone to motorhomes,bikes and US iron.

and yes I am old

According to EVO (UK)'s website they reviewed it in July 2010; I'll see if I've got that issue lying around at home as I've bought pretty much every issue for the past few years.

The missus would kill for a turbo manual in black... has to be a good grade and prefferably with leather.

... I don't want to be seen in a focus or golf :-( (comiing home from the pub).

pm comming your way Kris.

[Hank Scorpio]

Isn't the engine east/west? If so does it come in an AWD 1.6T manual?

And if so, it should definitely be imported

[God_speed]

Found a physical (print) article from my CAR UK Aug 2010 issue Kristian. It's 6 pages and based on the 1.6 DiG-T model. PM me if you want to know more
