1.5 dCi Acenta Premium 5dr SUV

Love this car!

Always wanted a Nissan Juke and finally decided to get one after getting a great loan from Tesco! Found a 13 plate diesel Acemta premium with 42k miles on from Evans Halshaw for just under £7000 which at the time and now is still a fantastic price!! The man at the garage said it was wrongly priced or something and the list price was over £8000!!

The car has so far been very reliable and I've got no complaints about that!! The car is nippy and drives fast as well as being comfortable, the drives modes are great although I've never used eco mode but sport mode is great!

I love driving the juke and feel very superior in it, it took me about 2-3 weeks to finally get used to the juke but I can now confidently drive and park the car with ease- although the reversing camera is a must!! So I'd avoid basic models

Cruise control, Bluetooth, satnav, reversing camera and climate control are all great!

The problems:
Very stiff clutch that feels like it's trying really hard to push back up after use meaning traffic driving is quite hard and it starts to hurt your leg after a while- but you get used to this and I suppose that's as it's a diesel?

After going from a car with a large fuel tank the jukes fuel tank seems surprisingly small costing only £30 to fill from 1/4 meaning the fuel gauge seems to go down rather quick but it doesn't cost much to replace meaning it's nothing to worry about! I got 55mpg on a long run but currently average about 44mpg which is respectable for my driving style and journeys! I just missed out on the £30 tax so my tax is about £60 for 6 months. My insurance went up £200 from a 2006 Clio but this is as I'm 20.

Boot and back seats could be bigger but this is something I knew before buying!

The handbreak is r****** but I've heard this is a common fault with Jukes and it's getting fixed on the warranty

I haven't had to service or repair anything on the Juke yet so I can't comment on anything as of yet!

Over all I'd say go for a juke!!
