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.

Only reason it's not our dd is that it is just too small and impractical compared to our rogue.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
