I got my first new car!

[miller]

Hello,

Well I finally received my first new car, a 2011 Juke AWD SL. I must say, it is one of the most fun vehicles I have ever owned. The light weight and short wheelbase make it very darty, and it just sticks where ever you want it (for an eco-box that is). It has ample grunt from the 1.6 Liter Turbo 4 (188 horse) and in sport mode the cvt keeps the engine in boost at all times, while weighting the steering wheel. If anyone is looking for a fun little run about, that has looks like non other and can run through Michigan winters no sweat, look at the Juke.

Congrats! nice car.

There are one of those out in the parking lot here at work.  Might not be enough room in the back for 3 kids though...

[mrsskip68]

Stuart, play nice or we will put you in the corner!!!                     Cute car, Congrats. Love that new car smell! 

[bobs66440]

Very distinctive design, especially the front. I like the color.  Congrats! 

[1969chargerrtse]

Funky.  I can't afford a new car.  My car is over 40 years old.

[greenpigs]

Never seen one of them yet & congrats on a new car.

JUKE...JUNK, sorry I had to be the first to say it. Kidding

I have had a car payment for nearly 15 years.

Not long after I pay a car off I get a new one, my dad says I am car poor or a nice way of saying stupid.

Can you legally tint your windshield too in your state?

Wouldn't that be factory tinted? 

[69 OUR/TEA]

[TK73]

Feels GOOD doesn't it?

[Fred]

Bloody oath it does! 

[69bronzeT5]

Congrats on the new car! Those Juke's remind me of a fat kid smiling though

[Fred]

The Juke is no Duke!! 

[Daytona R/T SE]

Interesting...

...They discontinued the Pontiac Aztec

[Fred]

Compared to the Aztec, I think I like the Juke better.

[Daytona R/T SE]

Compared to the Aztec, I think I like the Juke better.

Yes, but it does remind me of the Aztec, and according to the link I posted, others have made the same comparison...

[SG1022]

I think that thing has to be just about the ugliest car. . . yet I can't stop looking at it. . . 

[Fred]

Compared to the Aztec, I think I like the Juke better.

Yes, but it does remind me of the Aztec, and according to the link I posted, others have made the same comparison...

Yes they do look similar, I agree but compared to the Aztec, I think I like the Juke better.

Chris, no matter how much I stare at the pictures I can't help but think it looks like a little cartoon version of your Infiniti. 
Neat looking.
Take the ribbing with a grain of salt. Buying your first new car is a great feeling for sure. Best of luck with it! 

[Troy]

Did you get to use your brand new employee discount?

I bought my first "new" car right after getting my first "real" job out of college also. It was actually slightly used since I got a lease trade-in but it was the first car I had to get a loan for.

[twodko]

Congrats! That's a nice car and since it's a "Juke" you must buy Elvin Bishop's track "Juke Joint Jump" and play it LOUD! Good on ya!

[nvrbdn]

so many of these things resemble each other. but they seem to be the way things are going replacing the mini van era for the family etc. my buddy just got one. hes 58 and said it is the ultimate hunting vehicle.

[Brock Samson]

 congrats - 

jus kidding man..

Everything resembles each other now...................I can't tell anything apart anymore. If I can't read what it is..........I have no idea!
No one has an original idea anymore, they all just copy one another. Go figure. 

[triple_green]

ever compared a 70-71 ford torino fastback and a 68-70 charger?

[Tilar]

I've had 2 new cars in my lifetime, First one a 1976 F-150 pickup at 19 years old, the other a 1995 S-10 (that I still have) ... If I live to be 100 I'll never own another new one. I'd rather make 2 house payments than one car payment.

Oh, Grats on your new car...    I'm glad it's yours and not mine.

[ACUDANUT]

 I would have bought a new Challenger, Camaro or Mustang. They all offer V6's with 300 HP for the price of that Jukey.

[skip68]

Man, you guys a killing his first new car feeling.   

[greenpigs]

It is just some ribbing, he has been on the site long enough to know it.

For a new car it is unique...notice I did not say nice looking.

Just like doing your project car whatever it may be, your money & choice.

[mauve66]

it does look funny, like they said, a nissan/infinity in a cartoon drawing

having said that i know how you feel, when i was finally able to buy my first new car it wasn't what all my friends thought it should be but i had LOTS of fun with it, enjoy

[greenpigs]

I think I would have kept that one to myself.

[nvrbdn]

[chargerboy69]

I agree.

In fact I am going to try a forget I ever saw that picture. Please, don't ever post that again. 

[Vainglory, Esq.]

You misspelled it.  That "u" should be an "o."

[Fred]

 

[ACUDANUT]

I think I would have kept that one to myself.

[miller]

Laugh all you want guys, but this little thing rocks, and I stand by my dicision to pick this little guy up... at least until the car I ordered comes in... .

No worries guys, I will be surprising you all in a few months with something a tad more.... radical...

Oh, so since the loaner from the dealer is Nissan, did you buy a new Nissan product such as a GT-R?

Since his new employer is Nissan I bet you're close! Maybe a little less pricey than a GT-R though.

My Momma always taught me...iF you aint got nothin good to say then keep it to yourself...

Congratulations on the new car...I like it!.....too many people buying gas guzzling trucks/SUV's that don't need them!....300 hp cars such as Challenger , mustang gobble up gas!

I drive a 2008 Mazda 3 Sport GT 5 door 2.3 litre 5 speed ,,,AND LOVE IT.....while my friends call me up to drive as they dont want to waste gas in thier guzzlers I laugh at them....Not manly enough...who cares, the car doesnt make you a man, your words do

Yes, but maybe some of us actually want to drive those cars.   

[71green go]

Not saying you shouldnt...its the bashing of others who choose not to......

[Aero426]

With all due respect, for a variety of personal reasons, an asian import car would not be my first choice of vehicle.  If you choose to drive one,  that is fine with me.   

I have never owned a new car.  But I can guarantee you unless it was something really special, I probably wouldn't post about it either.    With regard to the Juke, this thread is something akin to the excitement I feel when I buy a new toaster.    Don't get me wrong.  I really like my new toaster.   I just don't know that I need to tell the world about it.   

[nvrbdn]

is the toaster the one that also does bagels? thats better than just a bread toaster. then you can also put hamburger buns in there also. now that would be something to get excited about.

[71green go]

Where was the toaster made?....

[cavemanno1]

to each his own but i would never drive it let alone buy that car !why do you need a brand new car anyway?
hey it's your car,you need to like it and live with it not others!MY wife says good luck with picking up ladies with it!But don't listen to her,just kidding!
Hell we only got an old car therefore we can't afford a newish car but at least nobody says it's ugly!

Getting your first BRAND new car is a big deal to most folks. Miller hinted he has something better coming, which shouldn't be hard to do.

[Fred]

My Momma always taught me...iF you aint got nothin good to say then keep it to yourself...

In that case no one would have very much to say at all....................it would be a very silent world.

[71green go]

Tuff Crowd Miller... ...looks like I need to be more negative to post here 

[472 R/T SE]

Can you legally tint your windshield too in your state?

Reason I ask is if that was my car, besides the limo tint on the side & back windows, I'd have to tint the windshield as well.

Anyone know why? 




We've paid off 2 new Rams.  Unfortunately the wife totaled out the last one but we got top dollar for low miles & condition.

It's a great feeling but that last payment is the best.

[nvrbdn]

 

[PocketThunder]

Ya miller, give us a date on when the car will arrive so we dont sit here thinking you found it in a locked storage container.

[miller]

Ya miller, give us a date on when the car will arrive so we dont sit here thinking you found it in a locked storage container.

I really don't have a date on when the automobile is coming, its all down to how fast the car can be processed and shipped to me, at some point they will call my phone and tell me the car is available for pick up. I wish I could give you guys a date but thats the breaks...

For all,

If I would have got a boring sedan or something of the like, I wouldn't have bothered posting about, but I thought the juke was funky enough and had enough character to warrant the post. Some people hate the looks of it, and thats great, it shows car companies are trying new things, and it wasn't designed to be bland and boring, cough Camry cough. I also wanted to show that this car is a really good car, it's so small outside that it can fit anywhere, there is tons of space in every direction for the driver and passenger (rear seat is a touched cramped), and with the awd turbo, it can get through anything, I took it up to sno-drift last weekend and it was hanging with the WRXs (not speed but capability). If you don't like the juke, thats fine, but if anyone was considering it, its a fun little piece of kit.

Miller, You already posted pic's of your car, and yet you don't own it yet ?  I would back out my man and buy a Challenger, Camaro or even a Mustang.
