Nismo Juke, black, FWD, CVT w/ paddles. Seats and steering wheel are great! Interior is still meh but for < $30k you can't complain.

Torque steer is crazy for 210hp and there is nearly no steering feel. Its still a Juke and has hilarious "darty" driving characteristics. But I had a horrible experience maneuvering in snow - and it was using continental conti-pro contact tires that a lot of manufacturers use as OEM's and on other applications such as '15 Focus, '15 Jetta, '15 Escape, etc. I had no problem driving around. On the Juke they were like summer tires.


So the suspension and steering really need attention, as it currently is other than aesthetic enhancements - its an embarrassment to Nissan Motorsports.


The FWD bias AWD is far and between, and I don't think Nismo's even get it. Manual transmission is only available with the FWD drivetrain, I know that for certain.


Now, Nissan should give me one of these cars for letting them in on potential improvements they could make.
