Nissan Juke 2011 Review The Rare Combination Of Cheap Fast And Reliable

Nissan Juke 2011 Review - What Car and parsimonious conformers, Juke very successful. Although it is not its aesthetic defects, will generate enough experience of driving pleasure. When the starting price of $ 18,960, Juke may also be a rare combination of affordable, fast and reliable.

The 2011 Nissan Juke is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine has 188hp. 6-speed manual transmission, available in front-drive models only, is not as good as the gearbox MINI, but it is nice to use, with strong throws and a clutch that is easy to modulate around the city and offers good feedback. A CVT is also available in models with front-or all-wheel drive. The manual is aimed at some of those concerns, with six "gears" to choose from, and a reasonable facsimile of a gas in a short time, but this is nothing next to the manual.

The interior is another mixed bag with some very innovative touches mixed with some equally bad, hard plastic at low prices.
