With an exterior style cribbed from off-road rally racing and interior features revved up to mimic sport bikes, the Juke is a quirky five-door, five-seater for individualists who don t want to sacrifice fun just because they re pinching pennies. Starting at $19,998, the JUKE debuts a number of new technologies the Japanese manufacturer is bringing to the compact car segment, such as advanced torque vectoring on the all-wheel-drive version I was testing. In addition to a computer that senses wheel slip and accordingly splits the torque front and rear, the Juke s AWD also splits torque to the left and right sides of the rear axle, thus my traffic circle spin-arounds. Powered with an all-new 1.6-liter turbocharged inline four that adds some go with the show of this sporty-looking ride -- while also delivering decent fuel economy -- the Juke cranks a respectable 188 horsepower. Off the line, torque varies, depending on the setting of the drive mode selector, which adjusts the car s throttle and steering responses, as well as the test car s continuously variable transmission. At the press of a button, drivers can choose between normal, sport and eco, which you might characterize as omnivore, carnivore and vegan, respectively. Although none of the modes is extreme, they are, at least, sufficiently different, unlike many cars that offer similar systems. For 2009 Nissan Canada s lineup of vehicles for the most part use our continuously variable transmission (CVT) and many satisfied customers will attest to its performance. The latest "Xtronic" CVT has amazed many skeptics of this type of gearless transmission. While other manufacturers CVTs feel slow-to-react, and rubbery once they do, they also seem to maintain an average high engine rpm. This is not the case with Nissan s CVT. With so many options available to consumers not only your standard 4-5spd automatics there are now even with 6-, 7 and 8-speed automatic transmissions available. So the question is, if back in the 50 s we had 2 speed, in the 60 s-70 s we typically started to see 4 speed auto s and with the above mentioned 6- 7- and 8- speeds in production now, one would expect that since the manufacturers are offering more gears in automatic transmissions to handle a wide array of driving conditions, would it not be safe to say that an infinite number of gears to handle all driving situations would be the best choice when it comes to selecting you transmission? Many have noticed that most current automatics are extra cautious and are always trying to get to top gear to conserve fuel. That can be annoying when passing as regular automatics always seem to search for the correct gear and I think we have all noticed transmission lag associated with a regular automatic. Many also dislike the gear surge typical of automatics when the engine revs up and you get that forward/backward whiplash feeling. Nissan s CVT reacts extremely quickly without that momentary forward g-load (shift shock), and with what feels like the correct engine rpm. The revs rise proportionate to the acceleration you select and you simply, take off.
