Paint,

Sliver = $135
Pearl White = $300

We got the Pearl White at the Silver money due to a typing error. :tup:

Navigation, back up camera and Rockford Fosgate stereo is included, 18" wheels with summer rubber included, wicked awesome interior included, engine is the same as the other versions but receive a boost in power via Nismo specific ECU tune, Nismo specific exterior trim, LED DRL, etc.

Supposedly there was only 100 Nismo Jukes imported to Canada. I don't know how true that is.
:tup: awesome. Hands down. :tup:

GaleForce,

How do you like the AWD version?
I know, this is turning into a Juke thread but I'm dying to know how you like it.

My GF wanted to learn too. So, I talked her into going by Carmax to try out a Mini Cooper (she loves those). She loved it so we ended up going and buying a new one for her. Now she can learn on her own car. lol
my wife tried MT a little bit long time ago, but never got into it. the biggest thing was she likes shoes... and some of the shoes she wears makes it nearly impossible to drive comfortably. and having to carry 2 shoes all the time for her was just too big of a hassle since she's not a car person to begin with.



for me, out baking my Z's front end in the sun. (drying clearbra) :p

Is bizarre as it sounds, my GF actually isn't that into shoes. (I know... I think she missing a chromosome or something) I was kind of surprised but she's totally into the whole manual thing now. Thank God she hasn't asked to drive the Z yet. If she does, I'll just pull one of these... :bowrofl:

Her Mini is actually pretty fun to drive. It's a nice little car.

Dump her. Immediately.

4 stage polish, seal, glaze & wax. Results are pretty awesome. That Sonax Polyseal or whatever it's called is just fantastic.

This stuff is 100% awesome. Water doesn't just bead up, it's like the finish repels it.
Little sneak peek:

Received my Odyssey PC680 batter in the mail yesterday! Comparison of the 35lb factory battery for 15lb Odyssey battery.

Pretty sweet... forgive me if this is a dumb question but why the relocation?

Better weight distribution for tracking. Our cars are front heavy. Not only did I reduce 20lbs from the vehicle as a whole but removed 35lbs from the front and only added 15lb to the rear. To get a little closer to that 50/50 balance.

I didn't test the AWD, although I did manage to find a Silver Nismo AWD CVT an hour away from me. I had no interest in the CVT. Plus I really like the pearl white. This coming from a guy who's last four cars are/were silver.

Anyhow, when doing my research I couldn't find any positive reviews for the CVT that peaked my interest enough for me to want to try it. Other potential downsides to the AWD CVT version Juke (any trim level) when compared to the MT FWD Juke (any trim level) is,
  • smaller gas tank
  • less fuel economy
  • less storage space
  • more curb weight

My wife and I love the Mini but three things kept us away from it.
  1. reliabilty issues
  2. wait times for dealers to get parts (might be a Canadian thing)
  3. closest dealer is an hour away (not good for service)

But you added 10lbs of wire to relocate to the trunk. :p

J/K Looks good. :tup:

Ah, ok. Didn't know that. Thank you sir!

We had some of the same concerns. The new ones come with a 4 year/50k warranty. The chances we'll keep the car that long are pretty slim. We'll probably trade it in on a new one before the warranty runs out.

I think the parts are a little easier to come by here. My house is literally 6 minutes from a dealership so it's very convenient for us.
