Nissan Juke - Waiting lists for cars - bakertech

I have just placed an order for a Nissan Juke Tekna 4x4. At the present time Nissan in Japan can not give a delivery date for this model, but it may be June/July. Currently there are about 190 cars on back order for the UK.

This great looking car seems to be a hit. I was surprised to find, that the cabin is as big as my current Mazda 3 Sport. Yes the boot is smaller but as it is just for the wife and I, it's a winner.

Our other cars on the purchasing short list; Qashqai and ix35 are also in short supply.

Must be shortage of specific components as the Juke like the Note is nailed together in Sunderland by Goerdies.

I don't think they trust the Geordies with the top model:

"..The top 1.6DiG Tekna CVT 4WD is actually built in Oppama, Japan, not in the UK,..."

see HJ road test

Wifey traded in her quasqai 2 months ago for a dig-t turbo juke. Juke is quite a bit smaller, but looks much more dramatic. Ride is a bit hard with the sports pack, but the gear box feels 10x better. I've got a ix35, which is bigger than the quasqai, and drives much better than the Nissan IMHO.

Nissan confirmed to the Nissan Juke Owners Club - http://www.jukeownersclub.co.uk that the delays are mainly due to the overwhelming success of JUKE worldwide, Nissan are, and have been experiencing parts constraints as a result of suppliers being unable to meet launch growth.

Additional tooling has already been commissioned to increase production capacity. Nissan's supply was further impacted by the heavy snow which fell in the north throughout December, which created a back log into the new year.

When you do get one, make sure you pop over to the owners club and say hi!
