MN hive mind looking for some wisdom as my current car is throwing up more and more issues so think it’s time to seriously consider my next wheels. Tend to keep cars for 6ish years unless they throw up issues that then mean keeping isn’t the best solution.
I’m going between
mk2 Juke (current car is a mk1 Juke)
and
Peugeot 2008
Eventually it will become the default family car too when DH finance finishes in 2yrs time
WANTS
Automatic - this is a need for me due to disability
Petrol
23 plate onwards
Not ridiculous high mileage
Keyless entry
Reversing camera
Cruise control
budget £15k will be taking finance HP to cover difference between trade in (£9k) and new car. Will not consider PCP as would be paranoid keeping car proper immaculate and would have nothing to ‘show’ for it when the term is up.
My current juke is a 1.6 and it looks like the mk2 is only a 1l which seems gutless to me as the juke is a ‘heavy’ car
Test drove a 2008 and found it went like the wind, haven’t had the opportunity to test drive a mk2 juke yet but have been reading that they seem to be plagued with electronic issues.
Appreciate any wisdom you can share!
