Topic: Test Drive: 2011 Nissan Juke SL FWD

[dirtyjeffer]

The Juke is arguably a love it or hate it type of vehicle.  I totally understand why some despise it's looks and I also understand why people love it.  Personally, I love it.  To me, it's a sweet little package that is fun to drive.  If I was younger and without a family, I wouldn't have any issues having this as my DD.   

Great summary.  The AutoBlog guys opined about how much fun this thing is to drive.  They are tiny though.

i agree...the vehicle was nice inside, drove great (i drove the fully loaded AWD model) and was quite quick (at least, it felt quick)...unfortunately, it just isn't very big, so as long as you don't need much in the way of space/utility, you will be fine...if you do need space/utility, forget it.

For some reason, only Subaru has the technology to mate AWD and a manual trans.

And Audi, BMW, Suzuki...

Not really true. From what I can see, only the base Forester and the Forester with Touring Package can be had in manual form. Any other trim, you're stuck with automatic too. What if I want the more desirable Convenience Package with a manual transmission? Can't. Apparently, even Subaru doesn't have the technology to offer a manual transmission to their full line-up...

Oh, alright. You're not usually the type to be kidding about how Subaru is superior to anything else out there, unless it's about cheap economical transportation, in which case your Corolla is king. So, pardon me if I misunderstood!
