Did you know they made the juke for the people who like 240.. did you drive the turbo juke?
All Jukes are boosted. I drove a FWD base model, but the base has everything I need, to include blue tooth and external inputs for MP3 players etc. I don't need NAV and crap like that.

I would prefer the the AWD version myself, but the lot didn't have one. Nor did they have a 6 spd version of the FWD... :frown:

The Juke is fun in traffic, but lacks balls once you hit 50mph. However, I'm pretty sure you can free up an easy 50-60 whp by opening up the intake and freeing up the exhaust. 2800lbs and 250whp will make a great commuter.

^I'm sure mods/boost controllers are soon to following. 250hp in that thing should be tons of fun. If was looking at a 4 door these days I would look for one.

Oh, I thought I read somewhere that only the 4wd ones were boosted, oh well. I like the juke I think it looks cool/different, lol but no one seems to agree with me. Id daily the hell out of it.

small displacement, boosted engines are the future since mileage standards are going up.

Now if they'd had the 6MT in the AWD, then sales would jump.

Thanks FEB. I actually have an exam next Tuesday :( I'm going to be looking for a new job (already started actually). Waited all year at Sears for this season and am ready to move on after Christmas. I made very little money until this coming paycheck (due to shopping season picking up) and don't want to go back to that after Christmas.

So apparently even though I'm only running 6 psi of boost, I can't get traction until 3rd gear. 225/50 tires on s14 SE wheels. I just made some guy in a Mustang GT think he has the fastest car in the world haha.

What's up with the rest of everyone? Still recovering from Thanksgiving dinner-induced coma?
