Saw both the Juke R and the Juke NISMO at ZDAYZ - Thanks to Bryan Settle attendees often get to SEE IT FIRST... Though none of us can afford the R, and the Juke NISMO hardly compares to the family Juke, the looks of the NISMO is what one imagines if the Juke Hulked Out and turned green.
For reasons too numerous to list I wanted the AWD version.. and as one poster commented - its too bad the AWD doesn't come in 6MT. Even so - and even with an automatic (selectable FWD/AWD or VAWD) tranny this little beastie is a lot of fun. The factory limo-tint sweetens it up, the 10% stiffer suspension keeps the higher CoG in check and gives you a more stable feeling, and curb side the ground effects and special Nismo only wheels give it a BA look. It is clear that there are after market parts out there and now with the release of this latest version There Will Be More...
Interior: Total Alcantara... Nissan's psuedo-suede in a smokey charcoal color - with NISMO badging everywhere. I give it a thumbs up - so much so - I picked up a Sapphire Black model myself... Its plants a grin every time I push start..
