Juke Owner Opinions?

DarkPath · 07-12-2013, 03:56 AM

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..

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Here's the link.

Nissan Juke Nismo Sports Pedals & Foot Rest LHD (MT) - KE4601K011

You might be able to find other pedals on ebay but these are actual Nissan parts, and are priced like Nissan parts
