That looks awesome!

:iagree:
Yeah. And the Juke Nismo accelerates 0-60 in 6.9seconds. With a foot of roll out 6.6... It gets .85g on the skidpad, which is incredible for its high roofline and short wheelbase. The quality of this vehicle is more akin to the focus ST rather than the fiesta.

No comparison when it comes to size, comfort and overall purchase appeal, for this type of vehicle..

I didn't realize you don't get an independent rear suspension on the fwd models. I'm not a huge fan of twist-beam rears. Still, it looks like it does pretty well with what it's got.

Thank you, sir! :tiphat:

Wife and I have had this exact convo lol.

Hey thanks for all the comments fellas.. Thing is I needed to downsize from the Z cost wise. I didn't want a box, didn't want a tank, didn't want a gas-guzzler, didn't want a Hyundai. I wanted something befitting of a previous Z owner. I think this lil Nismo version of the Juke was a coming out party for someone at Nissan. They got someone's permission to Hulkify something to grab the attention of the public - to put some zip in an otherwise humdrum 2013 vehicle line-up. Strange thing is - it only comes in 3 colors. Sapphire Black for the guys, White for the girls, and Gray for those who can't make up their mind. Am I having a little bit of Z withdrawal? Yeah.. but its healing up... and the Nismo is the medicine.

P.S. First mod was a stubby antenna, a combination carbon fiber and anodized red - to match the mirrors..

I drove the Nismo Juke at the Nismo Performance Academy thing at COTA and I must say that I wasn't all that impressed. Most of the other participants seemed to really enjoy it though so I can't be sure if something was wrong with my car or with me :icon14:

It felt pretty sluggish and laggy. Even though it had a good amount of grip, there just wasn't any emotion in the way it went around corners. I've driven much more fun cars for less $. Just one guy's honest opinion :tiphat:

Ugh...but I like the pearl white :icon14:

Same here. I could have bought a Silver one, my last four vehicle were/are varying shades of silver and a local dealer has one in stock but I was sol on the pearl white once I saw it in person. BTW, there is no chance that I would ever be mistaken as a woman. Ever. :roflpuke2:

Hey no offense with the vehicle color comment.. 24 yr old daughter came over for avisit the other day... Looked it over and said she liked everything about it - but would rather have it in white... I have always felt, for every vehicle, that there were some colors that presented better for one reason or another. I guess you would have to see all three side by side to make an actual preference comparison.

Fixed

You need to post up some pics.

:iagree:

The white was actually my second choice... I almost bought one of the blue ones but they ended up finding a black one I liked. :tup:

Guilty... that's me. I actually enjoy cleaning my cars daily. It relaxes me. :)

I didn't take offence. It's like my thoughts on convertibles. Convertibles are for women. :rofl2:

Honestly I never imagined owning a PW car. Seeing it in person sold me on it.
