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

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?

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.

zefaulter

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……

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

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.
