New car for the mrs, Nissan Juke

[Imposter Forg]

kia can't have given it a more ironic name.

[TJ Shermuz]

The other problem with the Juke is that its been on the market for 3yrs+... it must be due for a new model.

All the small CUVs have rather insipid drivetrains as standard (EcoSport, Juke, and Trax). Does the nopics need a manual or auto? If an auto you best stay away from ALL of the above suggestions.

Can you wait for the 2014 Kia Soul?

Juke has only been out in oz for like 2-3 months, if that.

For the mrs its going to be an auto, she can drive a manual, but she will want the auto.

As for the new soul, yeah, nah... its ok, but im not thinking the korean badge will go down with her

[TonyJZX]

i dont think anyone cares that its been out for years overseas because how they drive isnt critical to them selling

i think they're all ok cars in the end but moreso under the $25k line, over $30k one wonders why?

[Crudy]

Have a look at the interior, there's more cheap plastic than a tuperware party... and its a very tacky colour

[Benonymous]

Ooop I should have said Clio Sport not Megane. Good motor though. The R model with the GT-R motor must be a beast.

[Steve Whitney]

Think we need pics of your Mrs first before deciding wether the Juke will be suitable for her requirements.

When you say Mrs you mean you

[Marlin]

Purchasing chick I know at a large local dealership says they're shifting even less Dukes than new enormo-V8-petrol-only-Patrols. I can see why. Hardly a Class contender.

[TonyJZX]

its still early yet but i think this is a sign that australia isnt europe as far as tastes go

its well known the Juke sold out for months on release overseas

For the mrs its going to be an auto, she can drive a manual, but she will want the auto.

Isn't the absolute top of the range model available with turbo and that hideous CVT? = 35k+ On road. You can get a Renault Clio RS200 EDC (same engine) on road for less. What's the world coming to?

Saw one of these trudging around in the snow here in Chicago today, fucking ugly things they are.

[Lord_fahrquhar]

Juke is only a vowel change away from being Joke.

[Nitephyre]

Or one letter from Puke.

[CXTdreamer]

Forgive me if my memory is poor, but wasn't the problem with shifting the Tiida here that it was ugly?

[Captiva Fan]

Forgive me if my memory is poor, but wasn't the problem with shifting the Tiida here that it was ugly?

It had a dual problem; it made a Vitara feel sophisticated to drive, and it was ugly.
Juke is considered more "funky" than "ugly" by non-conservatives, though, whole different bucket of unattractivess.
