Phoenix's Juke - My new daily...

Post by phoenix s14 »

So had to get a new daily and it had to be a Nissan...

Juke Tekna MR16DDT

So I did some small mods.

1. meshed the front - (Dirty due to the recent stroms - Works to keep a lot of crap out the various cores)
2. Bonnet protector (too much debris on our roads these days)

3. DIG-T UK badge for the back

4. Hertz splits front and 2ways in the back (Massively better than the stock crap)

Had the matt black and GTR rims on my wish list already! This one needs to stay light on fuel so no GTR motor... :lol:

Some other mods are on the wishlist and in the pipeline already also but warranties and maitanence plans have to be kept in place...

Oh forgot to add that I fitted the sport pedals set and mudflaps already also...

Funny mine is also... Is quite funny when you drill some "high performance" cars etc with it also... and you laughing as you are pulling past him :lol:

1100Kg and 140Kw makes for quite a fun drive.

Mixed driving of highway and town - Trying to save fuel 7.8L/100km
Just driving normally - 8.5L/100km
Driving hard... :lol:

for a little 1.6 turbo it moves quite well and handles great too... a very sporty drive. You need to spend quite a bit more to find a car that matches the all round package.

Was honestly between this and a GT86 and the 86 was disappointing in terms of value for money - quite horrible value for money actually :lol:

Anyway - I really love this little thing. Everyone have their opinions but this is quite a brilliant little car - Well done Nissan - quite out of recent character for them.
