Today I took one for a one hundred and eighty odd mile drive. Nice comfortable car but, I actually think my car would kick its back side. Which surprised me.

It's mostly a looks upgrade.

Considering its supposed to be 197bhp and a 7.5 second 0-60 car, it just doesn't feel it.

I took a Juke out for a test drive a couple of years ago and absolutely hated it -I could't find a single thing about it to like :(

It is the same 197 bhp 1.6T as in a few other cars, and its the heaviest lump of a car.

the others are quicker than their official performance figures,

the  RS Clio 200 Turbo is as much of a slouch as the Nismo Juke.

 

Even GT86/BRZ are porkers. At least ford built the Fiesta ST light.

Apart from the seats being comfortable and it being quirky and a bit different im sad to say that I agree.

 

Did it come with one or did you have to buy your own?

I'd happily have one of these if someone offered me one

 

I was wondering when someone would bring that up!

 

What a waste of a perfectly good GTR

I'll say one good thing about the Juke Nismo... it's got one of the nicest steering wheels I've seen in a production car.

Lovely to hold.

Looks OK, but probably available without buying one of the cars.

 

I went into a Nissan showroom to see a Juke for my uncle who was considering one. Very flimsy in parts and I really didn't like the interior. The exterior though I'm getting used to but isn't pretty.

Indeed, I bought something similar for my GT-R.  It was very nice to hold when driving.

Having a penchant for the old micra sr's which if you are in the know are fantastic little go carts, it is such a shame nissans are just renaults these days. Along came the French and down went the reliability. The only reason you would buy a nissan anyway. Oh and the gt86 is not that fast at all, however they do look lovely. My mate has a burnt orange one with all the whizz bangs.

Never a truer word said. The SR was 160bhp and very discreet. The worst thing about the whole Renault situation is that you can actually see, feel and hear the influence on the Nissans. (GTR being the exception)

A bloke local to me had 2 of these in his possession I believe
