The normal Juke CVT (S/SV/SL) if you value comfort, and hate driving.

The S/SV with a manual if you want to row your own gears in comfort.

The NISMO AWD CVT you want to unleash your wild side & be sensible.

The NISMO FWD 6spd mt if you are feeling wild.

The NISMO RS AWD CVT if you are kinda crazy, but can’t accept a manual.

The NISMO RS FWD 6spd mt if you kinda crazy, and give no fucks.

The Juke R/R 2.0 if you truly don’t give a single fuck.

Everyone should have a Juke in their life.

I remember wanting a Juke so badly when they came out in late 2010/early 2011. 7th grade me thought that a Cayenne Red 6 speed manual Juke SV was like the coolest car ever back then.

Is it not good enough that I could test drive one, with no intention of buying it, and not buy one afterwards?

There isn’t one with a V8, 4WD and a truck bed.

I want the Juke-R with a 6 speed manual and the awd. They do not make this. Or even a manual and awd combo. Unfortunately, there isn’t one for everyone.

Thats the combo I have: 2011, Cayenne Red, 6spd, SV. You pictured a SL, the SV’s don’t have fog lights standard.

RS with CVT is pathetic. Drives off the line like a grandma-mobile. But, I’d be interested in driving the RS with fwd and a manual.

Because a manual awd push the hood more high up, and be impossible to package.

That’s awesome. You certainly picked the right color and transmission. It looks great. Congratulations!

Also, I apologize for that. That’s the only picture of a Cayenne Red Juke I had saved on my computer.

The CVT is the RS is tuned differnt then the regular Juke. Nissan had some balls to make that combo.

But what if I want a Juke R with a manual?

Or maybe a Juke with an RB26. Like an angry, mini Stagea crammed into a hatch.

I bought it used this summer, so I had no choice in colour. I didn’t care about the colour, as long as it was not black or white. It just meet my specs on what I wanted: manual, hatchback-ish, >$14,000, >2L, & turbo. I never thought I end up with a Juke, I thought I end up getting a Mini Cooper S.

I mean it as in I drove it and it was pathetic. Well, my wife test drove, I was on the passenger seat. It had no guts at all.

A CVT driven fast will be faster then any manual, it can always be in the power band no matter the speed. Use the Williams FW15C as an example.

You are spewing “facts”, I’m giving you first hand experience. There are zero race inspired CVTs for sale in USA, they are all there strictly for one reason - EPA compliance. A good 6sp automatic is light years ahead of any CVT out there.

I have a Forester XT with heavy duty CVT and in S# mode it works all right, but not as good as a good automatic. For maybe 1mpg increase, CVT is just not worth it. In “i” mode, that CVT is unbearable.

I’ve driven my moms CVT impreza, it not as terrible if I used the paddles. It is not great either. She will be replacing it with a manual XV soon.

Your expectations are really low if an Impreza with CVT is not terrible.

They still look very modern, 7 years later. Could have been released last week, if you ignore Nissan’s hideous new design language on all their current cars.
