Juke?! FML, get the 208 quick.


Juke is one of the most pointless fugly vehicles out there right now, what's wrong with a bloody Almera? same size inside, cheaper, less fugly, so much lighter, better on fuel etc etc!


actually, it'll be called the Pulsar soon, a much nicer looking thing.

well, because a friend has one and she likes it! the interior looks alright, nice suede and what not, load of parking gadgets and it's a halfarsed 4x4 system i believe too. funny thing is she wants a 4x4 for going up to her farm and s**t but has a 4x4 polaris jeep thing so doesn't actually need a 4x4 at all LOL

i keep telling her they're ugly and look like a Fast & Furious car

I know what you mean with the 205, I did think straight away, stick a turbo on the 205 and it would be wiping the floor with the 208.

we had a Juke DiG-T - the slightly less powerful version - it was utter crap and couldnt put the power down at all...it also sounded like a hair dryer, didnt handle very well and the interior may look nice but has no sound deadening (fabric parcel shelf) so incredibly noisy on the road too

on the contrary the Nismo one our friend has sounded like a fighter plane when it pulled up! i thought it was a motorbike at first then peered out of the window like WTF

the 208 gti 30th edition one is about £22k. not going to part with that sort of money for that! she can have an E90 M3

not quite a fair comparison, 208 will cost far less to run....

    There's only 100 available anyway so I doubt there's any left for sale now. E92 M3 is a good shout Thumbs up

    It is pretty premature to show an advert of it outperforming/being equally as good as something so iconic.


    The 205 is THE hot hatch. When people say hot hatch, people imagine a 205.
    To claim a new car has that same iconic status by editing it into the original advert is a pretty bold claim that won't stack up IMO.

    That doesn't mean it is a bad car, it just means it won't be the legend that the 205 is.

    100% agree on that, but for the majority of the narrow minded idiots out there its very good advertising lol
