Juke Owner Opinions?

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

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

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.

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

If you're used to a Mini, then the Juke is an improvement. It's not small by any means, it just has less space than a Versa. I'm cool with that.

I also looked at the Rogue before I went with the Juke. I liked it, but the Juke was more affordable, had more options, and it wasn't bland and generic like your typical crossover. I only had the Juke for less than 2 months before I traded it for another Z. Had I owned it longer, I probably would've appreciated it more and kept it. I still would've gotten a Z, but I wouldn't have bought a Sentra for the wife. The Sentra, in all fairness, gets WAY better gas mileage and has more interior room. Every time I step on the gas in the Sentra from a dead stop, I miss the Juke.

The Juke is definitely more of a crossover than my Fit. The gas mileage in the Fit is really what attracted me to it and the sporty nature of the car is a nice bonus.

If you can afford the NISMO I would definitely go for it!

I like what you've done with yours. It looks really good.

I wish I could have. The base model was the best I could do. I needed my payments under $200/month and I didn't want to put more than $2k down or trade anything in.

I'm pretty happy with what I got. Sticker was $21k. I got it for just over $18k.

Yeah, looking at the spy pics for the new rogue, it's going to be a noticeable improvement over our '11. The new pathfinder is basically just a really big rogue now since they dropped the body on frame real suv with last gen. BUT, it gets 20/26 mpg in fwd and that's equal to what our awd rogue gets which is impressive and makes me exicted for what the next rogue brings to the table.

The fuel mileage was the main reason we wanted to wait for the Rogue. When the new Pathfinders gas mileage is the same as the current Rogue we only assumed the next Rouge will have better gas mileage.
