A couple of observations:

-sluggish acceleration especially right after braking (not sure if it has to do with the CVT issue)

Nonetheless, great handling experience. A nice car for city driving.

Study how to use Sport Mode. I never felt it struggling at all when I went to Baguio or Baler with 4 passengers on board. Many PPVs pa nga kinakarera pa ako sa highway, maybe they can't accept that this small car can play with the bigboys. 😂

But the Juke is a lot heavier and has more drag with the body height and taller, wider tires. The CVT will always feel less responsive than a regular A/T. But you are always in the powerband, and fc will be better. It's a good car. The way it handles, you can make use of a lot more power in the corners.

Yes that's true, Juke has unquestionable stability when you turn into a corner.

I had a 1.6L right before i got my Juke. Less hp but had faster acceleration. The CVT does make it a bit slower to start and harder up hill. But you can try aar0nix suggestion po, try it with sports mode. If you dont want to use sports mode, after a while the car adapts naman to you (or you adapt to the car😊) so medyo parang mas lumalakas din arankada.

Juke is to be discontinued in the US.

not sure if it will be discontinued elsewhere. but its sales hasn't been great so i'm not sure if it will be discontinued in our region. but i think it will also be discontinued in our region

They say Juke will be replaced with Kicks.

This should not be a concern, just like any other earlier models, Nissan PH is committed to support their products for years to come.
