I love that car!

Kind of funky looking (in a good way) like the '99 Z3 Coupe I used to own.

 

Well the Juke is cool but if your Mom is looking for good mileage she wouldn't have gotten it with the Juke, its been said getting its mileage of 23 mpg is pretty hard to do, maybe because its a turbo and/or its weight, don't know but we know the Fit is a solid car so no worries, ofcoarse!

That Juke-R is awesome, they should "tweak" to base motor/trans/suspension and do a Nismo version for production, say about 250 hp and AWD standard. On a related note the upcoming Mazda CX-5 looks to be a stout little package too and is available with a manual....can you say MAZDASPEED!

 

The Juke R aside, which is cool and unattainable, the regular one has great specs: turbo, optional awd and some cool gadgets. The problem is it is ugly. I still would have considered one when I was comparing the Versa and the Fit, but the local dealers wanted full asking price because it was so new. Given that demand is pretty low for these things (Juke owners seem to think it's a supply issue) I would consider picking one up in a few years.
