Correct. We have to wait. Too bad the AWD is not available with a stick. The Mrs. refuses to go automatic trans.

As cool as the Juke-R is, it will never see production beyond the 2 that are in existence right now. :mad:

I did an overnight test drive last week. It was the top of the line SL AWD leather , NAV , heated seats.. Its a fun little car.. smaller then the honda fit we have now. MPG were not good.. I couldnt get better the 23MPG even in eco mode. The CVT tranny is strange at first. In manual mode it shifts pretty fast. I was surprised it felt almost manual feeling.
Basic run down of what I found.
Bad.
No rear dome light.
MPG / uses 91-93 =$$$
VERY cramped back seat.
CVT tranny is weak and I wont be able to do a turbo upgrade with an AWD model
NO ARMREST!!

GOOD.
kinda fast/ fun to drive
NAV is easy to use
heated leather seats were nice
easy to get in and out of , and to park

With gas on the rise I didn't go back to close the deal. I accually am going back on thursday to test drive a LEAF. its onlly 2.8k more and gets 100mpg compared to 23 and has all the heated seats, nav ect ect.

Car and Driver just did a comparo between the Juke, Cooper countryman and jeep compass.
Cooper won but they had good things to say about the Juke.

CVT trans are all weak from what i have read, nissan was pushing me to get the altima with it I told them no I wanted a manual.

If she is looking for a good DD why drop a lot of cash why not buy a versa for 11K brand new.

....exit stage LEFT :koolaidwall:

offtopic: well I have always thought the subaru outback was the perfect daily driver.

/offtopic.

I too have heard that no matter what a person does, they can't get the juke's mpg to come anywhere close to the epa estimates on the highway.

I can vouch for that - mine gets about 26 on the highway. No where near the 30 promised. (I don't feed that sucker premium though.) Of course, if I am LEAKING fuel all bets are off. I haven't heard a word from Nissan.

Wow....those 2 recalls are gonna hurt the bottom line quite a bit I bet... :shakes head:

On the MPG side of things, I believe all the ratings are using Premium fuel and driving on the eco setting. Most people I know who own the Juke, some do use Premium fuel, but none drive in eco ever.
