    *petixs we also test drove the ecosport. Exact same reason (aside from the blindspots) we pulled out. The shifting between 1st and 2nd is far from smooth. You can actually 'feel' the gears change.

    This is the nature of dual-clutch trannies, the gear-hunting between first and second gears in slow crawling traffic. However, DCT is quite fast to shift up when driven on open roads. Most sports cars use a variation of dual-clutch trannies (DSG, PDK, etc.). It is key though that the engine matches the DCT well to achieve a good amount of performance. A low-output small NA engine may not maximize the capabilities of DCT but pair it with a turbo engine and you will have fun-driving cars (Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost, VW Golf GTi, Mitsubishi Evolution X, Audi RS models, BMW M cars, Mercedes AMG cars).

    Chevy Trax came in and they are going displaying units in different malls this October. Anyone know when the Juke is coming out? Or if it is already in a showroom of a nissan dealer somewhere?

    Actually that's what I thought too, but in such a way it doesn't look bad, I kind of like it also.
