I can already see his mechanic condemn it too lol, young family cars like this tend to be abused to all hell and Nissan quality is not what it once was
WOW! 42mpg! That’s almost exactly the same fuel consumption as I get out of my 3 litre diesel Mercedes CLS. I think I know which one I prefer 🤣. Great review though Matt 👍
My thoughts exactly. Can't get my head around why anyone would want the additional complexity of batteries (including the increased carbon cost of production) for the sort of fuel economy of something decent that has already been manufactured, that you can maintain and keep. I can get 40mpg out of my 428i Cab on a run easily without being especially careful. I get EV's or hybrids that solve EV problems but this is an almost £40k lump of dull.
Can't understand why you haven't been approached by now by car companies. You seem to have much more of an idea what the consumer needs. Another great video
Had a 2011 juke since 2016. Best car I’ve ever had. 9000 miles on the clock, now 80,000. 1.6 Petrol. Great straightforward engine. Good spec. Paid £7800 would probably would sell for £4500 privately 7 years later.
@@ridgmont61 It's been possible for a very long time actually with After Effects, it will peg words or effects to things moving in a scene/the background when moving
Hi glad you like it, as i commented earlier i have the 1.0L which i love and it's pretty nippy for what it is, it is currently doing 43.8mpg best run run was 50.8 and i not a slow driver by any means,overall we love it been to Scotland Wales and lots of days out, it had just over 4000 miles on it when we got it now up to just over 9000, no problems at all
People have low expectations for fuel economy. I'm averaging 43 mpg with 60 on a long run from a 2 litre petrol Audi A5. These small SUVs arent as good as they should be
A honest review as always Matt. £30k doesn't register with its target audience as 99% will be PCP'd up for £x per month. I'm sure it'll do well , even in a saturated segment of the market - bought by people who have zero interest in car's and driving, just like its competitors. On a side note I remember when the mk5 Golf GTi came out in 2005 it was available in base spec, 3dr, manual, solid paint for £19,995
At the beginning, i thought Nissan physically threatened you, so much positivity.😂 But then the old Matt that we love came back 😌 To be fair the interior is nice.
Work colleague bought a Juke and hated it. Sold it as soon as finances allowed, within the PCP contact. Thanks for the video, always great to catch up on cars, even these.
They did a much better styling job on these ones. Only problem is build quality/reliability - Nissan used to make excellent dependable well made cars (I appreciate that was a long time ago now) and now they seem infected with Renault disease....
Obviously, since I’ve never bought a Brad new car in my life, I nearly dropped my IPad when you mentioned that something as bland as that would set me bck £30! I can’t help thinking about all the absolutely smashing cars I could buy second hand for less. The first thing which springs to mind, is sitting in your showroom - or was yesterday. It begins with J & even that is a ‘pipe dream’, but I suppose you het my drift.
@@HighPeakAutos Good to hearMatt. There are plenty of people out there (myself included) who are more interested in the more practical aspects when buying a car. Also love you very witty comments you always smatter into you reviews. Subtle and clever. Brilliant job as always. ;) x
The only unfortunate thing about my juke RS i had was that CVT auto box, May be silly but it could of been so much with a traditional auto or a dual clutch, the big problem for myself was the A Pillar and rather hard to peep around corners and it did feel cheap but relatively well fitted, more utilitarian as they say, the body roll in the old one was so funny, go 20 around a roundabout and you feel like you are doing 2 wheels, was kinda charming around my parts heh, I said i wanted one when they were released, so im glad i owned it at the end of the day.
I've always quite liked the Nissan Juke. Even the early ones are very well made and feel solid. They're also quite nice to drive and are better equipped and better value than some German rivals. The Juke is ok in my book 👍
We ordered a new mid-range Juke, delivery due February 2024, it's the 6-speed petrol. Tried other major manufacturers but they couldn't give us a delivery date, Nissan did - on-the-spot - with a full choice of colours. It will meet our requirements.
Who are an excellent car reviewer. Used or new. If I was a car manufacturer, I'd be very nervous about sending you a car, because the review would be...er...very honest and informed.
I probably have the Juke with the highest mileage in the country 2015 plate with 116000 miles on it. The car has never had me stranded. Upgrading to a newer model shortly. From Connect to Tekna Plus.
After having ridiculously reliable Yaris 1.33 CVT for 2 years got sick of wind and road noise and said gearbox. Swapped for a Renault Captur DCI edc (twin clutch). Love it. Basically it's 2 years progress over the Yaris ('13 design versus '11). If Nissan want to lend me the Juke 1.0 T dual clutch, doubt it's 6 years progress but it's probably quite nice. They are expensive though.
The thing that I like when in your last video about the Previous Gen juke when you bought up an example of other cars that others would consider as 'ugly' due to their unconventional styling that splits opinions, here's how I compare these vehicles to based on their reputation: The Chrysler PT Cruiser would be Quentin Tarrantino: Retro design with front being inspired by the Plymouth Prowler, which is car that borrows it's influence from 60s hot rods, then chrysler makes it unique & takes the front of the prowler and puts it on a hatchback, kinda how to tarrantino maintains a classic film influence to how it pays homage to that particular genre in his movies (like, resovoir dogs, pulp fiction & kill Bill) Fiat Multipla Would be Susan Boyle: A car with divisive appearance but it has a decent engine & was spacious that you can take out the rear passenger seats, to how Susan boyle went from an x-factor contestant to creating music albums & single later on in her career. Nissan Juke Would Be Adam Sandler: A very Unfocused obscure design that tries to be cool & funky, similarly to how Sandler in the movies he stars in who tries to be comedic & funny (like Happy Gilmore, Jack & Jill) his career is overshadowed by the films thart are negativity received but made a crap to of money in the box office, to same how the Juke's relatively poor styling & limited room space in the interior sold in total of a million units of the past decade. That it makes nissan's other best-selling model, the Qashqai look like George Clooney in comparison. But at least the 2nd gen juke was fine but slightly improved a bit of the major problems with the Previous Gen Juke, to kinda how Sandler gets decent roles (such as Uncut Gems , Hustle ) But still, I think there are better cars out there I would say like the Toyota C-hr, Peugeot 408 Or Kia Stonic.
Still if I wanted a car of this size I'd go for the much cheaper Sandero crossover which is pretty much the same car, or even spend a bit extra and get a duster.
See, the problem with car reviews, Matt....is that, people do a big dumb drama queen thing about how they could never drive the car because they hate the shape of the rear lights..or it's a Nissan, and they're ALL crap..or whatever .. AND.. with a car like this, it's 'on trend' to hate it - so people are scared to admit that it's actually quite good .!!! ....which it really is ...!
I have a Nissan Bose 2019 & that parcel shelf, ffs. I had to stick the holders in with Sticks like. The handbrake position is crap as well, it’s to near the passenger & you keep knocking their hand. As for the clock 🤦🏽
Update: Our 2024 Juke arrived, ordered in October 2023 and delivered on the exact day it was due in February 2024. Built in the UK, British workmanship at its best. We still own Alfa Romeo's (a 156 Sport with 3,200 miles from new and an Alfa Spider with 7,325). In addition, a 1963 MG Midget, 16v 5-speed, Frontline Developments worked. The Juke is just fine. NO REPLY NECESSARY.
Nice balanced review, Matt, as always. I’d be interested to see your opinion on better cost-neutral alternatives. What comparable vehicle could £30k buy used which would cost the same or less over 2-3 years (including depreciation) but give much more driving pleasure and badge prestige? Mercedes Benz GLC or Audi Q3/5 are the obvious choices. Discovery Sport? Jaguar F-Pace? Over to you…
My Grandad opted for one of these 2 years ago on a lease due to it only costing £250 a month. Anyway, it goes back next month and it’s alright I suppose. Standout point has to be the Bose audio system though: truly excellent. However, there are quite a few dislikes that come with it. The first is the ride, perhaps not helped by the Tekna+ 19 inch alloys, is incredibly firm in town. The manual gearbox isn’t particularly nice to use, and seems to have developed an increasingly loud whine particularly at lower speeds. The built quality isn’t fantastic either: the panel gaps aren’t what you’d call brilliant, and the plastics creak more than you’d think they should particularly when you put your head back on those Bose headrests. And lastly the 1.0l engine isn’t really enough to carry the juke- sure, it’s fairly efficient at around 40 to gallon, but I just can’t see it lasting particularly well in the long run, particularly with the regular customer of the Juke being slightly dubious when it comes to servicing. Anyway, all in all I suppose it was a decent car for the 2 years, I’m just not convinced it’ll go the distance beyond that like an older more efficient diesel would that the government seem so intent on us getting rid of. Great video as always though Matt, and it’s great that manufacturers are sending cars across to you now 👍
Great video as always Matt. I only just watched this but it's timed perfectly as I had a 1 Litre Juke last week for a day as a hire car. I have to say I was quietly impressed. I thought it was quite nippy esp in sport - lol mode! It felt confutable and even plush inside. Got over 40 MPG in the 1 litre Petrol and I noticed that the data on the car was saying it has achieved 59 mpg - there is an eco mode too so that's pretty good. One thing that your vid mentioned was the EV button. I had a Hyundai EV last year and that just smoothly went from battery to engine and vice versa seamlessly without any buttons or switches. Anyway, thanks for the brilliant vids Matt, keep up the great work.
30 years ago you got 12 months warranty, and that was your lot, so 3 years now is very generous me thinks Matt. In my eyes it still looks a dreadfully car, and at £30k that explains why everyone nowadays does a PCP deal.
Surely that e-drive button would use MORE fuel. I always drive with my foot off the accellerator where possible getting more mpg. Not much of an idea having to keep your foot planted to make headway.
We had one of these from December 22 to February 23. Not a bad vehicle for the driver. But file economy was rubbish considering it replaced a 65 plate c4 Picasso and averaged 10mpg less a gallon. However the car turned out to be far too small and the worst bit was the tide which is brutal. Front seat and rear seat passenger car sick within 5 miles and the kids hated the back. Had to take it back and go for another contract cost a bloody fortune but I’d say imo not a great car for families or anyone with even the slightest motion sickness.
Thanks for explaining the parking sensors beeps, it would explain why every juke leaves about 4 meters to the car in front while in a queue of traffic..
A button on the key fob to open the boot can be a nightmare: In the old Xsara sometimes i would press by chance and then would need to stop and go out to lock it. Sometimes the person at the petrol station would also pop it open by chance. Them, on the focus MK3, I would sometimes open the boot, assume the car was unlocked, go to the driver's door and try to unlock it just to find out it was still locked. When it was raining, it was a mess. Since then, I avoid cars with those.
I drive the Juke Hybrid for over a year now. average 56-60mpg in Summer, 30-44 Winter with heating on. I don't think, the intended audience of Juke are "single mums or grandparents" as you stated.
@Not_BhiLZA if you mea. Mk1 juke it had the same grades as new gen jukes. For petrol juke, nconnecta is midrange but only 1 below max spec as tekna+ is purely cosmetic upgrade of tekna. On hybrid nconnecta is starting trim. You get a good car but with no extras such as heating pack, headrest speakers or aerial view camera system.
As someone who worked for Nissan when these were released and driven many, yes it’s a little better than the first generation but that wasn’t hard to beat. These are still not great to drive, or to look at in my opinion, I just think there are many other cars for the money, not sure why you would want a car to look like that but each to their own. Great video as always though.
Things must be on the up if Nissan are taking note (see what I did there?) of your thoughts on one of their cars and must be very confident about the work thats gone into the new model to let you loose in one, with their blessing. I just can't help but think, surely there are going to be one or two new EV buyers that will feel a little let down when they find out that the real world mpg is 42mpg. My 200bhp oil burner will best that around town and on a run, if I drive like Miss Daisy do the best part of 20mpg more. I must say, the new model is a vast improvement over the old pig ugly one looks wise but you just know it will still be driven by school run mums who barely passed their test at the fourth time of asking and have hardly improved since and think its everyone elses job to drive safely, and not theirs because they have children in the car.
@@andrewwaller5913 Not if you acquire one via personal leasing or a PCP agreement. There are no depreciation worries if you acquire cars this way. Few people actually slap notes on the salesman's desk anymore.......
I have shared your "What's the point of the Nissan Joke?" to all my friends and family. You have become a legend in all of their eyes P.S my uncle drives a new Juke in blue. It's actually a nice vehicle.
42 MPG thats nearly as good as my 1999 E38 ,44 to 46 on a run at 70mph .And ive never hurt my back putting shopping in a car .Oh dorris that lips a bit high on the boot for you love we will have to leave it and walk away its not the rite car for you Dorris .Then buy a go kart and a Helmet .
I work in the motor trade and have driven original and newer Jukes, manual and auto, and taking all into account (driving, space, looks etc) renamed them ‘Puke’. Guess that gives away all I think! It genuinely is the worst vehicle I’ve ever had to drive, and in my job I drive vehicles across the whole sector. The only thing that could be ‘coped’ with is that the new interior feels nicer. Otherwise, don’t know why anyone would ever buy one………then my sister bought one 🤦🏼♂️
Everything is fine with the Juke apart from the transmission..Drove it for a week as my car went in for a repair...The gearbox is the killer...always have to put it into sports mode...exhausting
My other half is a recently qualified podiatrist. Needed a new car for the job Mk 1Jukes are popular with her colleagues. I steered her in the direction of a Hyundai Ix20 instead 😂👍😊
Yes this seems quite good value as all new cars are expensive, but I wouldn’t have such a problem with it if wages had kept up with those insane prices … 😒
'Make sure you give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it...' and make sure you put your trousers on before you put your shoes on,,, in case you forget .Thanks for the important information Matt.
Quite brave of Nissan to loan Matt a Juke given his views on the previous model! The styling is an improvement and looks quite nice inside although very much like a lot of these SUV/Crossovers or whatever they are calling them these days. Not cheap and the mpg is hardly amazing. No surprise that Matt won't be buying one although there will be a couple on his forecourt in a few years time.
Interesting Nissan havent labeled this as epower. Maybe it's Renaults tech they're using here which means it ain't going to be good especially the CVT gearbox. I have a Note epower here in NZ and I'm getting 70 to 85 mpg (4l per 100km) for a 2017 model! It's just a pity the UK didn't get this car, it's brilliant and been super reliable. Google it and you will see why I'm scratching my head that it didn't enter the European market.
Not my choice but i drive a 2017 1.6l cvt for work 165000 miles, the only non service item was a water pump at 155000. Not even a bulb gone. An indicated 43 mpg so probably 38mpg No wear on the interior. If you dont believe me, ask Matt to do a video of it.
Watching this in an office in the North East of England, your Sunderland comment made me laugh, and many of the others.....made not so nice comments lolol
