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.

That looks great, congrats!

Damn. That's quite an increase in a tiny little gokart like the Juke.

on an unrelated note....i really hope that the engine in the juke is what they are planning to throw into the rumored mini-Z, factory turbo-charge FTW!

And hope it's 2600lbs.

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

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.

Honestly, the Fiesta ST does everything a bit better, is about the same size and costs less.

C&D specs for both to compare.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST Hatchback First Drive – Review – Car and Driver

2011 Nissan Juke SL – Instrumented Test – Car and Driver

Numbers

car - Fiesta Juke
Hp – 197 - 188
TQ - 214 – 177
Lbs – 2700 – 2909
0-60 – 6.7 – 7.5
¼ - 15.2 – 15.7
Skid - >.90G - .78G
Cargo V – 26 – 26.6
PassVol – 85.1 – 86.7
Eco – 27/35 – 24/31
MSRP – 22,195 – 23,300

Same interior volume, much better performance, better gas mileage, and cheaper. The only thing the Juke has is a higher road presence and a funky look.

DarkPath · 07-11-2013, 12:15 PM

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.

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..

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..

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.
