2020 Nissan Juke (mark II)

[ThomasDE85Z4]

Hey Guys,

I recently got to drive the all new Juke and I must say I was quite impressed with the car, I like the gadgets and features (speakers in headrests). However, it only comes with a poky 1l 3 cyl petrol and the 0-60 is in an age!!
I personally would rather have a year old X1/X2 than a new Juke at £25,000. What would you buy for £25k?

I made a video on it if anyone wants to check it out?

I've had the new Cooper S Countryman for 2 years and have to say it's the best all-rounder I've owned (I've had 50+ cars over the years). I chose it over the equivalent priced new X1 which it shares it's platform and engine range with, as it felt more sporting, was better value and looked a bit less staid (obviously a matter of taste). In moonwalk grey with black stripes and wheels it looks the part.

With the 8 speed auto / flappy paddles and a real quality feel to the ride, everybody who has been in it comments on it being a really comfortable but obviously a sporting drive. No problems so far and the only expenditure has been a pair of front tyres at 22k miles. Recommended

Looked at the new Juke but Nissan's reliability put me off which surprised me, ended up with a Hyundai Kona which is much better kitted out than the Nissan, heated wheel, ventilated seats, HUD etc, all missing off the Juke and you'd be lucky to get that on a secondhand X1.

Alas I have to admit to fairly narrow taste when it comes to cars. The Duke along with every other 4x4 family car in production, is well outside those. :thumbsdown:

Spend your 20k on a trip to New Zealand and buy an old Mondeo.

buy an old Mondeo.

Now that would be far too exciting

Well I have no need of anything "family sensible" so new Jukes, X1/X2 type cars do nothing for me. I have given up on newish cars as the ones I did have cost me far more in depreciation than my older ones have cost in repairs - and the newer ones still threw up some unexpected bills once out of warranty!

I'd just buy a lower mileage example of what I just bought, so a Z4 MC thanks! Or if it had to be an E89 a mapped manual 35i, but plenty on here would go for a 35is.

It would be as exciting and more useful than many a new 25k family car.

and you can do plenty with the 20k change you forgot.. :wink:
