Brought the girlfriend over to the Nissan family
 

After spending about 8 hours wheelin and dealin, my girlfriend drove home in her brand new White 2012 Juke SL.
I can say, I test drove it and was incredibly impressed with its performance and handling (considering it was a crossover). I love the bold aesthetics that it has and really like the way it makes the car stand out. Too many crossovers have such a boring design and I think Nissan did a great job making it sporty and fun.
The ICON control system is pretty awesome too. (check it out here:


This is the first real car she has ever owned and she is incredibly excited about it, as am I! (I actually tried to drive it home from the dealer, but that didn't happen :ugh2:). Do any of you guys (or loved ones) have a Juke??

Congrats to her :tup:

Congrats!!!! I almost went Juke over the Z just for the better practicality and "offroad" potential. I absolutely LOVE that little car. Can't wait to see the final specs on the NISMO Juke. Hopefully we get it here in the US. :tup:

Would be nice but highly unlikely..

It's nice that your girlfriend likes it. Personally the Juke is just ugly.

did you get 4wd version? I am considering a 4wd juke as my DD up here in canada after I finish paying down my Z

Yes it is 4wd, which is pretty awesome! Give it another look over in person TongMan..it will grow on you. ESPECIALLY if you drive it.

The interior is pretty nice on a loaded Juke.

You know something tongman... all you do is put down other peoples ideas and tastes. Give it a break for a bit.

ANYWWWAAAAAAAYYYYY.... yeah, we almost bought a juke last summer but there weren't any 11's out there I wanted and they were trying to upmarket them. So I got another altima. Honestly the juke was as much fun to drive as a Z but not too much power. Lots of torque though which made it a load of fun in AWD mode. I love the features on the car and I'm sure when its due for a refresh, the interior will see higher quality on its already decent quality interior for the price. Its on my list.

Great car. We picked up one last week after getting a increditable deal, I like DD much better then the Z and its alot of fun too.. much more then the Honda fit we had before. I'm already getting ready to order a intercooler hardpipe kit and MBC. Once a downpipe is available I'll be picking up one of those and am waiting for GTM to respond to my email about a uprev tune and upgraded turbo.:happydance:

Hey Brazil, I agree, it is so much fun to drive! I noticed your avatar...do you have different headlights installed on yours?

Congrats!

:pics:

Sorry if I came off like that. It wasn't my intention. Just stating my opinion of the styling, but that's subjective. All that matters is that the owner likes it.

i thought the youtube vid was going to feature your gf's juke delivery...

Nope , just the factory stuff. :tup:
