Hey all! :wavey: Just joined the Nissan family officially today. Bought my pearl white 2013 Nismo Juke this morning and I'm in love! Traded in my iS300 for it. I couldn't stand driving an automatic anymore. So I got the FWD manual. My husband finally talked me into getting Nissan - he has an 05 350z. We are in Baltimore btw. Can't wait to meet more juke owners!

Welcome to NICO!!

Score 1 for manual transmissions :)
We love them here, and generally hate the CVT, so you made the right call.

Is your husband already a member on here? You should post some pictures of your fleet :)

So refreshing to see someone so excited about a manual, especially when leaving a car like the is300 behind even in auto trim. Welcome to NICO.

I am in love with this car! It's quite peppy and when in sport mode is really fun to drive. I haven't gotten to really get on it yet and play-I work 4 miles from home and haven't done much highway driving yet.

I will post pics when I get home to my computer. I think my husband was on here but hasn't been active in a while. You can see pics of both of our cars on my Instagram though in the mean time if you want : brittanyleighartistry.

I really look forward to driving this car more. Already looking into which performance parts to get. I've never been so excited for spring! Thanks for the welcome!

This is a car-buying motivation I can agree with! (I say as I hipocritically head out the door to drive my manumatic...)

Haha yup! I feel like it will drive a manual until I can no longer drive.
