Nissan Juke

[R377]

I laughed when I first saw these cars, but the last 6 months or so I am seeing more and more on the road and they are sort of growing on me.

Would I buy one ? no, but 140kw with great economy isn't bad

[PranK]

That one looks pretty good!

I couldn't stand them when they were first released, but they've definitely grown on me. I reckon they're kinda cool.

[Ben C34]

I initially thought they looked shit, and nothing has changed.

Would be a cool daily but too high in stock form. Needs lowering and decent wheels

Nismo Juke with 20 inch GTR wheels

Nismo Juke with 20 inch GTR wheels

And GTR engine, drivetrain, dash ... Not much Juke left in that puppy

[Sinista32]

would be nice de-badged, a stock colour etc... Stealth

imagine the shock of the unknowing

Nissan hasn't put many comforts in the Juke.

Options-options-options = $-$-$

Great economy my arse!

I've got a Pulsar, which has the same drive train in a lighter car. It drinks fuel like my Stagea. I struggle to get over 10.3k/L (yes, that's what the car trip meter reports).

I really wanted the Juke but the back seats are basically pointless. My Pulsar has rear seats that put a Falcon to shame.

[PranK]

Is that 10.3l/h ? That's pretty much what my Mazda 3 commuter gets.

[PranK]

Which is better than the 12l/h that I get from my v6 Bora.

[Cowboy1600]

10.3 kilometers per litre. That's about 9.8l per 100 ks.

I'll admit, not quite Stagea level, but not what I'd call economical.

I saw a juke with nismo rs badges the other day. They any better or just a tarted up boy racer marketing gimmick?

[luke gtr]

There are no nismo juke released in australia.

Top of the line is the Ti-s

The nismo juke posted above is the juke R.

20 made in series 1 shape.

20 made in series 2 shape.

And nearly twice the price of a gtr iirc.

I have a st-s pulsar (st-l level trim with sss motor and wheels). On my commute to work (majority highway driving) I average about 6.2-6.3L/100kms according to the dash (which is about 6.7L/100 when I calculate it properly, which is better than I get from the missus n15 sss and about the same as I was getting from my mirage). If I drive efficiently and sit on 110kmh instead of 115 to 118 (which is about 110kmh based of the gps and the average speed readout on the dash) then I've had the dash fuel economy read 5.8L/100kms for the round trip to work (125kms). I rarely rev the thing over 3500rpm though because you just don't need to. They pull hard enough between 2500 and 3500 rpm there's no point revving any higher. If anything, they start to choke above 4000rpm.

They are certainly no "hot hatch" like a mazda 3 mps or focus st, etc, but as far as warm hatches go I'm more than happy with mine. They are also a darn sight cheaper than the hot hatches at under 30k.
