Both CVT and 6 speed models driven. If you've driven one, or you've already purchased one, what do you think of it?

Good looking car. The last body style was a bit, um, fugly and boxy. I really like what they did with the new body. Inside looks fantastic! Thanks for the write up. :D

I like the article, I own an SR with the driver and tech package, love the car but I'm really disappointed in the transmission. As far as desing and interior space this car is great and great gas mileage too.

I pretty much fell in love with how padded the door's arm rests are.

I'm really glad Nissan decided to give the B17 a 6-speed option! I'll be graduating next year and purchasing another car and it's pretty much come down to the Juke or the Sentra S now.

I liked the Sentra much better than the Juke. Have you driven the Juke yet?

The powerplant in the juke was head and shoulders above the Sentra, but the interior is pretty crappy. The door panels in the juke are sort of a joke.

I drove pretty much all the Juke models (AT, 6-spd, and nismo) and my favorite by far was the Nismo edition. I agree though Smurf, the door panels upset me a bit since they were so low and I couldn't really get comfortable. I feel like when the time comes I'll probably pick the Juke for the extra power and aesthetics, but the Sentra is a cheaper option. Depends on the job outlook, i guess.

I'd buy the Sentra and mod it.
