New Canadian juke owner....Almost

[Kent]

Its on the boat and will arrive in the week of november 28th. Cant wait. Onyx Blue, manual transmission, SV. I guess there are not a lot of manual juke here. Can't wait to start modding it. Dont be afraid to tell me if you dont understand what im saying sometimes... im a frenchie.

Well Kent, I know when it arrives you won't be disappointed. We looked around quite a bit to find our Sapphire Blue SL with the 6 speed. It appears most dealers are shy to stock the SL in a manual but I am glad I waited and didn't settle on a second choice.

I know what you are saying, I only test driven an CVT. Can't wait to try the manual. Im kinda lucky someone ordered a manual 2012 sapphire blue onyx and was not credit approved. I will get his. Mine will be an SV though.

Never got to test drive a 6mt either, all we did is test the auto crap. If you liked the auto you will love the 6mt.

Welcome and congrats! I've heard the dealers in my area aren't even stocking the manuals (or the S models) as they just don't sell very quickly. I'm only seeing the AWD SL models.

It all depends on where one lives as to what models dealersips seem to stock....I've noticed out here in our SoCal Desert dealerships you really don't see a whole lot of AWD Jukes on our lots ....Understandably AWDs seem to be much more popular in wetter / snow belted regions of the country...I felt very lucky and pleased to have snatched up an SL MT which, as my dealer told me, he was surprised as to how much in demand they were in here in SoCal and hard to keep on the lot....

I guess we have the worst winter ever here. Often 12 to 15 feet of snow during winter. As long as you have very good winter tires you are ok with FWD. I really didnot want to buy a new car with something else than a 6 speed manual.

Just got back from the Ottawa airport after picking up my daughter from her flight from Nova Scotia. Four hour round trip and I never missed the armrest. I was sure it would be a pain because of wearing out two previous centre arm rest covers on my former TDI Sport. What a combo the Juke is, awesome around town doing the stoplight race in Sport mode and as comfortable and smooth a highway cruiser as you could ever want.
