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.

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...   :icon_smile_blackeye:

Funky.  I can't afford a new car.  My car is over 40 years old.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

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. :slap:

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

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.  :icon_smile_big:
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!  :cheers:

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.
