Just bought our Second Juke

Juke's are an absolute blast to drive, so we just purchased our second, a 2016 new with 1000 dealer miles on it. We didn't even take it for a test drive, since it is essentially the same car as our 2012 Juke. BIG MISTAKE!!! For some reason, this one is a DOG when you step on the gas. We alerted the dealer and they are going to take a look. We suspect possibly bad gas from sitting on the lot for so long, but unsure until they check it out. Crossing our fingers that this car will be as fun and worry free as our first Juke, once we get this initial hiccup straightened out. Well, it's a year later, and the 2016 Juke doesn't run a swell as the 2012 Juke, but it is still a petty good car. Meanwhile, the 2012 Juke has 110k on it, and it runs like a top! No major issues with either car. We love our Jukes! One year later, Fall 2018, and both Jukes are running fine. Great cars. Fun as hell to drive, they handle and run great. Could not be happier with these cars!

CVT transmission went at 34,000 miles

I had heard that the Nissan Juke was known for its significantly problematic continuously variable transmission (CVT). I really loved the shape and turbo performance of the vehicle, so I bought it and put thousands of saved money towards the purchase. Once the car hit 34,000 miles, the transmission went and had to be replaced. The dealership basically indicated that I was being overly concerned since "it's covered under warranty". Firstly, I like to travel and don't appreciate getting stuck with a broken down car with no working transmission. Secondly, it is great that it's covered under warrantly; however, when I purchase a vehicle, I plan on having it past the 100,000 mile warranty. I've purchased many vehicles in my lifetime and drove them far beyond 100,000 miles. As soon as they replaced the transmission, I traded it in at a different dealership and I made sure that my second new vehicle does NOT have a CVT! They are cheap transmissions. I paid a lot of money for a car that I kept for less than 2 years. I say shame on Nissan Motor Company as I am now absolutely certain they know of this significant issue. I contacted Nissan Motor Company, but they couldn't care less.

Zippy Jiffy Jukie

My Juke is just fabulous! I quite like the interior lighting on the floor, the lighted Juke logo on the threshold by the doors. It's a fast zippy car, very economical to run, but is a bit small for a family car. It's a one person car

Do your research! Once I drove a Juke I was not surprised by the few things Because I already knew about it....from my research.
