I'd agree, but the last time it was rather quick. Once in a while a hiccup sharing but had seemed fine. My memory bad maybe it was injectors, but either way it was completely dead and fixed cheaply. I didn't pay that much attention either as it was my wife's spare car I avoided because it's a pretty gay looking car.
While I agree, the Juke is a pretty ugly vehicle, I think I would do almost anything not to be trapped in the current vehicle market. At least after reading all the posts in this thread about what people have experienced over the past few years.
Just sucks get antsy without a spare car as this leaves me with a truck that might go soon as well and 100 mile commutes at 10mpg.

If you can smell oil burning when the car is running, then it could be the valve gasket or a valve seal(s) that has a leak. The gasket repair is not necessarily a major repair, but still at least a couple hundred (probably). A seal repair, on the other hand, is a major, upwards of a $1000+ repair.

It's hideous, but at 180k miles it served well. Never really started to hit any problems until about 140k ish. But tangentally, certainly less than glowing Z video's after the initial hype vids. Throttle house just shit on it for not being all that terribly faster than a nismo 370. (Though I wasn't clear, maybe it was modded)
Absolutely skip anything Korean.
See more recent replies, but another car search challenge is local market, I swear I've seen next to no toyota's that arn't taco/4runner etc. No camry's that I noticed, must keep them all in OKC>Absolutely skip anything Korean.
Skip anything European.
Skip everything USA based.
Skip everything Japanese except maybe Honda.
Which leaves...Toyota. Early 2010+ Camry. Get one that hasn't been totalled/wrecked and with a full service history and you are Good To Go. $11k+. 100k miles no sweat if taken care of....which is mostly oil changes every 5k miles.
I looked for 6 months for a Tundra. I wanted 2014+ model. Looked at a lot of warts. Settled on a 2012 w/126k miles because full service history and kept as new. Interior...spotless clean. Underside the same way. Owner took it in for full service every year no matter what. Zero oil leaks anywhere. Zero leaks of anything at all.
Paint needs wax...that's it. I drove it across 3 states recently w/full load and U Haul trailer. For sure I was hauling ass in a lot of places. No squeaks or rattles. I had a fully loaded 2018 F250 from new which I hardly put miles on, but compared to the Tundra, it was trash.
I put Michelin tires on it and had it aligned. Owner gave it a full service before he sold it. Truck is smooth and quiet and not a vibration or shimmy to be found.
What does pride have to do with it.
I know a few wealthy people, and the top dog of them all drives one of these every day

Saw some headlines yesterday, starts at 35 or 36 iirc. Does seem pricey, curious how it stacks up against similarly spec’s cars but I’m not interested in one.
