I've not driven one, but I've liked the design of the Juke. I was neutral until I realized I always checked them out when I saw one on the road. The only complaint being at some angles that blister of the "nostril" headlights kinda jumps out at me. But any other angle I really like it. (Other vehicles have this issue with me as well.)

I'm kind of bummed. I didn't get to pick it up today. I have to wait until tomorrow for it to be delivered to my dealer. :crying:

They respond very well to modifications.. the STILLEN Cat-Back exhaust netted 20 wheel horsepower, just the rear section was 13 wheel horsepower.

Our cat-back plus UpRev tuning with boost.. monster torque increases:

I thought about one but ended up getting a Honda Fit instead

I am happy with my choice and it is pretty damn fun to drive, just throwing it out there as an option I believe you should consider

Damn. That's quite an increase in a tiny little gokart like the Juke.

on an unrelated note....i really hope that the engine in the juke is what they are planning to throw into the rumored mini-Z, factory turbo-charge FTW! :tup:

Honestly, the Fiesta ST does everything a bit better, is about the same size and costs less.

C&D specs for both to compare.

Same interior volume, much better performance, better gas mileage, and cheaper. The only thing the Juke has is a higher road presence and a funky look.

I had an AWD Juke before the 370Z. It was great on gas, quick off the line, had all the bells and whistles, etc. However, they're deceptively small if you plan on loading it up. The new Sentra actually has more interior and trunk space. Overall, the best DD I ever had. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to own one again down the road.

not a juke owner, but wife and I have test driven them a few times including an awd/cvt nismo juke just recently. I think with this car, the only way to go is the with the awd, you can really feel the torque vectoring at work and it's a blast, the nismo was awesome, the seats are better than our Z seats and it's peppy.

Only reason it's not our dd is that it is just too small and impractical compared to our rogue. :(

:iagree: And hope it's 2600lbs. :excited:

well if the versa is any indicator seeing as it's the same chassis as the juke i would say more like around 2500lb. maybe 2600lb. max seeing as they will most likely have to reinforce the chassis a little bit for sport car duty :), last i heard is that they were going to use the juke chassis on the new mini-Z, but we'll see i guess

Holy crap!

Great. I haven't even picked it up and I'm already thinking about mods. lol

I actually looked at the Fit and the Mazda 3 too. The thing that really lead me to the Juke was that it has a little more of an SUV feel due to the ride height. It's a really nice departure for the feel of the Z. It just makes me appreciate the Z even more when I get back in it. :driving:

I don't have any kids or anything. I just needed something with SOME storage space. Obviously I have the Z with a Zenclosure in the back. My girlfriend drives a Mini Cooper. We can barely buy groceries. lol

Heard the same. the juke is an incredible 2866lbs. Which is amazing for its overall size. I think they can chop 150/200lbs on a small coupe. :excited::excited:
