I popped into a Nissan dealer today to have a nose around.
The Qashqai is lovely but too big for my needs. The Juke looks lovely, seems well built inside and plenty of room upfront. I didn’t realise how high up it is in comparison to the Puma (or maybe the Puma is that much lower). Nicely laid out inside and even for the top of the range fully loaded, works out a lot cheaper. Obviously some gadgets aren’t available that come (at a premium) with the Puma
Didn’t take one for a drive or talk much the salesman other than to ask if it’s ok to sit in. He didn’t seem particularly keen to talk or to try and sell me one.
What would you trade yours in for?

It's not the engines with French cars as much as the electrics. When there is a problem everything is so hard to get to.
...And yes, Nissans are just glorified Renaults now, I used to be a Nissan fan when they were Japanese, but, wouldn't touch one now.

Renault and Nissan have been partners for a good few years now. Our car before the Puma was a 2nd Gen Qashqai with the 1.5 DCI K9K engine. Only issues we had with it was the drivers heated seat stopped working which was repaired under warranty, and I changed the battery at approx 5 years old.
With the new model, there is no diesel engine available. Instead it's a mild hybrid in the lower versions and in the top spec model the engine isn't even connected mechanically to the drive train.
