Winter car
 

I need a new winter beater and was looking at the Juke Nismo.

Has anyone driven it? Thoughts? I don't need a big car but want an AWD.

Let me knoooooooooooooows

Gale Force has one as a DD

Awesome option, nismo juke looms great and performs well. Since its a crossover obviously perfect for winter.

That being said ur prob not gonna ONLY drive it in winter, esp if its a new car. I opted for a DD / good winter car thats sporty trackable and went with an 8th gen civic si. Only problem is, mod bug kicked in =P

Damnnnn a Nismo Juke as a winter beater. Can't go wrong :D

I'm driving my 2000 Honda accord for the cold season lol :(

Well I have an 06 Outlander as my true winter beater, but I have been using that as my DD. I car pool with the broad so she takes over that car more often. Come winter, in the event I can't car pool, the Z is stored away so I need a back up plan.... hence the Juke. Will use it as my daily in the summer months and the Z as the weekend car.

In! I am sold on the Juke Nismo. Just need to find one at a good price.

My winter beater .... TTC, subway, and parents Honda Pilot.

Can't go wrong with putting 370z insurance to $18/month, and Gas = 0 and riding public transportation like a #boss.

Nismo Juke, would be a sweet as a winter beater.

That car has grown on me a lot. Brother in law just got a regular Juke in black but also nice black wheels, looks pretty mean, feels spacios inside, if its AWD, do it!

I was driving a 2000 Subaru Forester AWD for winter with headers, exhaust, was fun....but she died :(

all that winter questions and you're storing the Z now? :rofl2:

Im a curious person. I like to know all my options before making a decision.

Decided not to drive it because:

1. Getting new rims and tires (even used) will cost a bit

2. Clear bra will cost another chunk

3. Driving in winter in Toronto sucks

4. All the money I'd save from points 1 and 2 can be used to help pay for the house I'm looking to buy in the near future.

:happydance:

that works. but Clear bra is not just for winter as I'm sure you will realize.

I drive my 2012 Civic Si during the winter time, got stuck in snow many time :-( had to get people on the street to push my car out of snow.....

This is true! our paint sucks! I didn't clear bra mine I did opticoat but it still has some expected minor road rash……:shakes head:

I will respray mine down the road and I am happy to know the paint my buddy uses is harder then Nissan's OEM paint, theirs is :thumbsdown:

O ya winter cars!

Currently inherited my wife's 05 Lancer (low mileage and she is original owner) we got her a new equinox just before our little guy was born :tup:

for the past 5 winters before that I was driving a 99 Pathfinder that thing was a tank!….. up until it died :roflpuke2: fell apart on me all at once, I had little over 311K kms!

This car did bad in the latest crash test !

370Z makes a great winter ride. I've had good luck with mine.
With the Nismo Juke you'll still need winter tires, and you should have a clear bra on what ever new car you get.
