Don’t ask me why but I drove a new Nissan Juke today

Christ it was shit.

A few things:

  • Mad acceleration.
  • Regen braking = free power.
  • All the latest tech on board (new petrol cars should have this too but either they don’t or they do but will soon be defunct). 
  • Quiet. 
  • New design language (made possible because no engine etc.). 
  • More internal space (see above).
  • Instant torque (makes driving more fun).
  • Maybe they save the planet, maybe they don’t. They can’t be worse. 

115bhp from a 1.0 litre 3-cylinder engine. Not bad for a car with half an engine. If you can put up with that wheezing noise. It's like running with one lung.
