I love my Nissan Juke but I am a little worried about the cvt transmission. I bought fluid to flush and change it recently but I haven’t done it yet. I’m somewhere just over 130k miles. She’s been good to me for the past 2 years. I got her at 116k miles. 2012 sv awd. Share your juke experiences, stories, and opinions.
I remember renting a Nissan Rogue (last gen) in the late 2010s and going up a steep hill and it just had NO power it was scary, worse than a damn Dodge Journey. I assume Juke only has an even tinier worse engine and would just be dangerously underpowered. I saw a new Kicks the other day. Looks fine. Bigger than pic related for sure.
>>29018790The rogue is a lot more pigfat than the juke, the difference is like 600lbs lol>>29018787I always wanted a juke but the platform is basically compromised in every form, manual version is fwd only, the automatic has a true awd torque vectoring powertrain... But that's only available with a cvt. If the juke had the torque vectoring awd with a manual, it would be an instant classic but Nissan always gimps their shit in some way, always.
>>29018790>I saw a new Kicks the other day. Looks fineIt's actually worse in every way, it has the size footprint of the rogue but is actually smaller and it lacks the 1.6l turbo the juke has, it's basically a versa engine strapped to a rogue body, the worst combo Nissan could come up with
>>29018790I test drove a rogue before I got the juke. The rogue felt like a pig poverty car. The juke can handle its own weight. It’s not a race car by any means but it will accelerate pretty good. >>29018795I can’t disagree with you at all. I looked for a juke awd manual but only a few existed if any. Nissan fumbled hard. A couple boomers told me that the juke is a fine car as long as I take care of it. Can’t disagree with them either.
>>29018787Op replying to myself. I am aware of the downsides of this car, but I do say that I think it gets a worse rep than it should because of 1) retards who can’t maintain anything. 2) people who just assume that it handles the same as a rogue
>>29018795>The rogue is a lot more pigfat than the juke, the difference is like 600lbs lolyeah but it also has a much smaller less powerful engine too...>>29018797there's no way its smaller>The rogue felt like a pig poverty car. the last gen? the current gen looks not so bad, at least the interiorI would like a used 2006 fx45
>>29018814>much smaller less powerful engine too...The juke is smaller displacement yes it's also turdbocharged, chip tune it to nismo rs spec and it becomes decent, tune it even spicier and it's actually kind of cool, the real limit on power is the deadass cvt in the awd version. Old rogue actually had less horsepower than base juke, nismo rs has more horsepower than even the modern rogue
