Hidden Gem and Bargain

2016 Nissan Juke NISMO 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

New, much like the S1 or JCW, the Nismo RS version of the Juke doesn't make any sense for the price point However, the Nismo RS has depreciated a significant amount more than competitors in its class. Sure, the Nismo RS isn't remarkably fast, or very comfortable and the design choices really require some getting used to. But for the prices this car is going for, now in 2020, the car is an absolute bargain and truly a hidden gem. The car gets a bad rep because of the CVT AT AWD version. Ignore that car. It won't make you happy. The variant that will make you happy however is the front-wheel drive 6mt version. 218 CV, LSD, Recaro Seats, Bodykit and half decent wheels, Alcantara interior, DAB radio, Bluetooth radio, 360 Camera. Start adding all these features up and try to find something similair at its price point. You won't. You're nearing higher end German SUV's for triple the price. Thing is, SUV's and Crossovers REALLY do not need 500hp under the bonnet. It's absolutely pointless. 218cv matches with a very playful 6 speed manual, is actually absurd value for the money! And most of all, and few people know this, the Juke is extremely lightweight. It's crossover proportions give you the illusion of weight, but its lighter than many many performance hatchbacks.

Just Not That Impressed!

I test drove Several Hatchbacks. The Juke was quirkey in looks and I liked that. But upon driving it, the handling was sloppy and the headroom was terrible for my boyfriend as a passenger and anyone sitting in the back seat. Also, the Cargo area was not sufficient. I train dogs and not having enough head room for even 2 dogs was a problem. Trying to squeeze in a weeks worth of groceries would not have happened either. For the money, I chose a Jeep Renegade. I'm very happy.

Transmission went out at 28,000 miles. It was under warranty but I was expecting to keep this car for years until now...

Cute car but CVT TERRIBLE

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. Unfortunately, many new vehicles on the market are using CVTs. 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 do believe they know of this significant issue but continue selling these cars. I contacted Nissan Motor Company, but they couldn't care less.
