I'd definitely consider one as a DD, especially with AWD. I've seen one up close (and liked it) but haven't driven one. Interested in responses from those who have.

One put down 180WHP stock at Performance here in NY, it was 6MT FWD. Those things are quick stock, and have a ton of aftermarket potential. Great little cars, for sure.

Finally got to drive one! Had to go 70miles but oh well it was worth it. Test drove 6 speed manual front wheel drive. AWESOME! for what it is. Looks way cooler in person than in photos. Gear box was a little sloppy but that is comparing it to my Z. Clutch engagement smooth as butter upshift downshift this car doesn't need syncro rev matching. It's smooth, I didn't feel any jolts even when just letting go of the clutch it was smooth. Quick! The 3 different settings work. You can tell a difference between eco, normal and sport. Nifty. Seating is good, back seats fold flat, good handling good seating position. They are limited, don't know if nissan is trying to drive up demand but if they keep the cost down and not try to mark these up they have a huge seller on their hands. It drives well, I was impressed. The only thing it needs is a center arm rest. The rest is pretty impressive. Good job Nissan just don't raise the price up. Dealerships...... they are going to mark this up big time. Oh well they can play that game for the short run but it won't last in the long run. The outlander sport is not as quick but it sure does have a lot of features for the money.

i drove a handful of jukes when i worked at nissan. i briefly tested the motor's capability and saw that it had a nice punch as i went through the rpms towards redline. you hear the turbo spool and it being a fairly light little suv, it feels like it goes. i'm tall but skinny and i honestly felt a little too snug in the juke. there was one time i had to transport a juke with 2 other guys in it and it just seemed too cramped with 3 big guys in the tiny juke. i was trying not to elbow the other guy next to me.
other than that it be great for shorter thin people who have short thin friends lol. but at the same time, i noticed it looked incredibly gaudy parked alongside other cars in a public parking lot, mainly cause of the front end design and the unique headlight location

I got to drive one for a bit, a lot of fun and peppy for what you get.
Also, aftermarket is already growing with plenty to happen by years end to make anyone happy with the car.
