July 10, 20223 yr Hi, new owner and 1st post. I recently got a 2015 1.2 Juke Acenta Premium. Its my first car. I've loved everything about it so far, but I'm really struggling with 1st gear. I'm finding it really hard to get the balance between the accelerator and the clutch when moving off and more often than not, find myself bouncing down the road. All likeliness its down to my inexperience, but my dad who has 30+ years driving experience in all sorts of cars has tried it also found it tough to avoid (albeit a lot less than I have). Is the 1st gear on these models just tough to master, or am I looking at a potential mechanical issue? Has anyone else experienced the same?

July 15, 20223 yr Author Hi Trevor, thanks for your response! That gives me a bit more confidence that its just going to be a bit of a learning curve
