Geneva 2014: Nissan Juke

The big news for the Nissan Juke is what you can’t see: according to them, Nissan claims that the cargo area is 40 percent larger on front-wheel drive models, now up to 12.5 feet. World markets also get a new 1.2L turbo 4-cylinder engine. I’m just hoping they’ll finally give us an all-wheel drive 6MT version. I’m glad it’s still weird.

    I honestly think this is just one of those vehicles that can, at times, look really good or really bad. I used to work with a guy that had one of these in black and it had black wheels...looked pretty good when it was cleaned up. It's like the new Jeep Cherokee, in most colors and in the Trailhawk trim, it looks pretty decent, but make it a cashmere or silver sport without roof rails and terrible wheels and I don't think it could look worse!

    6MT is a torque vectoring awd no go with the Juke. The fwd larger boot is just a lower drawer thanks to the lack of awd mechanism. Controversial, cramped, winter weather beater with the all and seasonal tire switch.

  • CanadaCraig You can just imagine how quickly the tires are going to wear out on a 5,800 lbs AWD 2024 Dodge Charger.
  • Luke42 I tried FSD for a month in December 2022 on my Model Y and wasnā€™t impressed.The building-blocks were amazing but sum of the all of those amazing parts was about as useful as Honda Sensing in terms of reducing the driverā€™s workload.I have a list of fixes I need to see in Autopilot before I blow another $200 renting FSD. But I will try it for free for a month.I would love it if FSD v12 lived up to the hype and my mind were changed. But I have no reason to believe I might be wrong at this point, based on the reviews Iā€™ve read so far. [shrug]. Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll have more to say about it once I get to test it.
  • FormerFF We bought three new and one used car last year, so we won't be visiting any showrooms this year unless a meteor hits one of them. Sorry to hear that Mini has terminated the manual transmission, a Mini could be a fun car to drive with a stick.It appears that 2025 is going to see a significant decrease in the number of models that can be had with a stick. The used car we bought is a Mk 7 GTI with a six speed manual, and my younger daughter and I are enjoying it quite a lot. We'll be hanging on to it for many years.
  • Oberkanone Where is the value here? Magna is assembling the vehicles. The IP is not novel. Just buy the IP at bankruptcy stage for next to nothing.
