well if the versa is any indicator seeing as it's the same chassis as the juke i would say more like around 2500lb. maybe 2600lb. max seeing as they will most likely have to reinforce the chassis a little bit for sport car duty :), last i heard is that they were going to use the juke chassis on the new mini-Z, but we'll see i guess

Holy crap!

Great. I haven't even picked it up and I'm already thinking about mods. lol

I actually looked at the Fit and the Mazda 3 too. The thing that really lead me to the Juke was that it has a little more of an SUV feel due to the ride height. It's a really nice departure for the feel of the Z. It just makes me appreciate the Z even more when I get back in it. :driving:

I don't have any kids or anything. I just needed something with SOME storage space. Obviously I have the Z with a Zenclosure in the back. My girlfriend drives a Mini Cooper. We can barely buy groceries. lol

Heard the same. the juke is an incredible 2866lbs. Which is amazing for its overall size. I think they can chop 150/200lbs on a small coupe. :excited::excited:

If you're used to a Mini, then the Juke is an improvement. It's not small by any means, it just has less space than a Versa. I'm cool with that.

We actually looked at the Rogue but decided to wait for the new model (coming October). We will be replacing our other car in a year or two and will compare the new Rogue to the Pathfinder.

:iagree:

I also looked at the Rogue before I went with the Juke. I liked it, but the Juke was more affordable, had more options, and it wasn't bland and generic like your typical crossover. I only had the Juke for less than 2 months before I traded it for another Z. Had I owned it longer, I probably would've appreciated it more and kept it. I still would've gotten a Z, but I wouldn't have bought a Sentra for the wife. The Sentra, in all fairness, gets WAY better gas mileage and has more interior room. Every time I step on the gas in the Sentra from a dead stop, I miss the Juke.

No way I'd get rid of the Z for the Juke but I'm pretty stoked about the Juke. I can hardly wait to do a little road trip action. :driving:

The Juke is definitely more of a crossover than my Fit. The gas mileage in the Fit is really what attracted me to it and the sporty nature of the car is a nice bonus.

If you can afford the NISMO I would definitely go for it!

I like what you've done with yours. It looks really good.

I wish I could have. The base model was the best I could do. I needed my payments under $200/month and I didn't want to put more than $2k down or trade anything in.

I'm pretty happy with what I got. Sticker was $21k. I got it for just over $18k.

Looks sharp. :tup:

Got the front windows tinted on mine today.

Thanks Juke brother lol

:icon18: :tup:

I saw those on Facebook... looks awesome man!

I was kind of disappointed, my rear windows didn't come tinted so I'm going to have to get them all done. :(

:tiphat:

Yeah I noticed that. I didn't realize tint was an option for the rear windows.

Yeah, me either. I think it only comes on the SV.

That looks great, congrats! :tup:

Yeah, looking at the spy pics for the new rogue, it's going to be a noticeable improvement over our '11. The new pathfinder is basically just a really big rogue now since they dropped the body on frame real suv with last gen. BUT, it gets 20/26 mpg in fwd and that's equal to what our awd rogue gets which is impressive and makes me exicted for what the next rogue brings to the table. :tup:

Yeah but Rogues aren't fun. :yawn:

no, not at all. but they do fit the bill for us in practicality which for the dd, is the primary driver.

EVERY time the wife and I are in the rogue we both agree it's the car we hate to love b/c it does exactly what we need our dd to do so well but also so uneventfully that it is frustrating. :icon17:

awd-check
good mpg for suv-check
can fit up to 8ft long cargo-check
comfy for drives-check
enough power to get out of it's own way-check
fun-no check :(
stylish-no check, not bad looking but not setting the world on fire either.

pluses outweigh the minuses. If only they made a nismo rogue...

:iagree: Sadly, practicality isn't always fun.

The way Nissan is acting with the Nismo badge, expect a Nismo Rogue and a Nismo NV3500 van. :icon17:

The fuel mileage was the main reason we wanted to wait for the Rogue. When the new Pathfinders gas mileage is the same as the current Rogue we only assumed the next Rouge will have better gas mileage.

It should be running on that new altima engine so i wouldn't be surprised if mileage turns out to be 25/33 on the rogue.

True dat... I'm waiting on the Nismo Leaf. lol

I really like the Rouge a lot. I can't wait to see what they do with the next version.

Update: This comparison is not of the Juke Nismo - the turbo'd Juke with NISMO tweaks puts horsepower at 197 and the TQ at 184.

Juke Nismo-ized... just enough cool to be a man machine..
 

Saw both the Juke R and the Juke NISMO at ZDAYZ - Thanks to Bryan Settle attendees often get to SEE IT FIRST... Though none of us can afford the R, and the Juke NISMO hardly compares to the family Juke, the looks of the NISMO is what one imagines if the Juke Hulked Out and turned green.

For reasons too numerous to list I wanted the AWD version.. and as one poster commented - its too bad the AWD doesn't come in 6MT. Even so - and even with an automatic (selectable FWD/AWD or VAWD) tranny this little beastie is a lot of fun. The factory limo-tint sweetens it up, the 10% stiffer suspension keeps the higher CoG in check and gives you a more stable feeling, and curb side the ground effects and special Nismo only wheels give it a BA look. It is clear that there are after market parts out there and now with the release of this latest version There Will Be More...

Interior: Total Alcantara... Nissan's psuedo-suede in a smokey charcoal color - with NISMO badging everywhere. I give it a thumbs up - so much so - I picked up a Sapphire Black model myself... Its plants a grin every time I push start..

The engine is good, but it's only part of the recipe for success with the Altima's fuel mileage. The other part is the revised CVT with the insane final drive. The new Rogue in FWD configuration should do fantastic, but the thing I'm most curious about is if Nissan translates the final drive and overall CVT design to the AWD platform. Pretty sure they did it with the Pathfinder but it wasn't as dramatic due to the towing capability they wanted it to have. The Rogue should be a different story.

That looks BADD!! congrats!

I had a loaded Juke SL 4wd loaner for a week and really liked it. It got almost as good gas mileage in the city (28mpg) as it did on the highway (30mpg) and was fun to drive.

That's sexy :yum:

Nice... I hope I get that kind of MPG on mine.

+3

That looks awesome!

:iagree:
Yeah. And the Juke Nismo accelerates 0-60 in 6.9seconds. With a foot of roll out 6.6... It gets .85g on the skidpad, which is incredible for its high roofline and short wheelbase. The quality of this vehicle is more akin to the focus ST rather than the fiesta.

No comparison when it comes to size, comfort and overall purchase appeal, for this type of vehicle..

I didn't realize you don't get an independent rear suspension on the fwd models. I'm not a huge fan of twist-beam rears. Still, it looks like it does pretty well with what it's got.

Thank you, sir! :tiphat:

Wife and I have had this exact convo lol.
