On the Juke? I can't say I've ever looked at one. It's a scary looking thing in pictures.

Yeah, this car is absolutely disgusting looking, but it performs extremely well.

It weighs 2900lbs, does the slalom at 66mph, skidpad @ .83G's and runs the 1/4 in 15.5 (quicker than most vehicles in it's class).
If Nissan actually had good intentioned styling with this it would of been a hands down hit.

Their 2.5L engine appears to be rock solid, but it's no performer.

It's reported to have less failures due to variations on the quality of the gasoline used on it than the 2.0L 4cyl FSI and TFSI. But it can hold some nice boost if you were willing to void the warranty...

It is bizarre looking. I agree it would be a hit if a little more mainstream in style.

Hopefully our car hunt ends better this round than it did last time... when we decided to not buy anything!

I don't understand how you're searching a CAR for your wife while you can get a crew-cab Silverado for her

it depends on what u want out of the car...do u want a fantastic handling, fast car, that you can mod the hell out of, but one that u can still take it to grocery store and go on long trips with...or do u just want 425HP of pure Detroit awesomenes..personally, id go with the STI..

I don't know if the new 5.0 Mustangs ride worse or not, but the 4.6 era of the current style are nice on the highway, not cramped


I'd probably still take the STi... But Mustangs are far from a lumber wagon on the road
