Default OT Nissan Juke

Hello guys:

This past weekend, I saw a SUV on the street which I think it was nice. After I got back home, I decieded to do more research on the car.

The car is Nissan Juke. Anyone know anything about this car? Seems like nice little 4X4. WHat do you guy think of this car. It looks like frog but pretty nice to me.

Direct injection turbo with a *yawn* CVT transmission. It's pretty cool, with a lot of neat "techie" features. It's quite a bargain really. I'm strangely fond of it as well.

It's a rebodied Versa/Cube. Casually looked at them going into winter as a runaround car; just decided to get the snow tires for the C4S. Or find another beater AWD 911, which would have been less money and zero depreciation. Ultimately, the CVT only in the AWD + reports of sub-20 MPG in anything but easy driving killed any closer look.

My in-laws in Germany just ordered one last week..I'm still trying to figure out what's up with the front end and the turn signals mounted on top of the hood!

May be a nice car but it looks like an Asian carp to me.

lol Asian Carp.... I thought it looks like the Keropee (spelling??) stuff animal that my sons used to have =)

If I am getting this car, I plan to get the auto mode with will have the AWD system. I will most likely replace my W126 with the Juke.

Not that W126 is a bad car, but due to a high gas price, the darn thing is a gass guzzler!!

friend at work just got one, after he totaled his Corolla, he likes it. I haven't ridden in it, but my friend is 6'4" so at least the front seats are roomy.

My friend bought one in Europe- the 169hp version; in the rear-view mirror looks like three cars -on top of each other coming at you but it is a very fun ride, although the outside colour spilling to the dashboard and trans tunnel is a bit much.

The CVT trans has a mind of its own, I hate it! Also there are no long term reports on this tranny. Take one for a test drive , chances are you wont like it.. my 2 cents
