Sarah was a very happy wife on Friday. We had a new arrival -

It's a 1.6 petrol Acenta Premium (red interior).

We picked it up Friday afternoon then literally went straight off to Seb & Sarah's. We stayed there overnight and then went onto Longy's 'Run2 Saturday Night' treasure hunt - what a brilliant way to start the running-in process! We had a wonderful day driving around the Cotswolds then a beer or 2 that night.

Sarah drove it home from Stroud today so the Juke has done nearly 500 miles already.

We're really impressed with it. It's comfortable and quiet, the Connect system is great (and the reversing camera is really good).

Well chuffed :yahoo:

Thank you Sunderland!!! :lol:

Good choice of spec on that Juke. :yahoo:
Red really does look great on it as well.
This was the launch colour used at Westovers.

Does it fit in the garage? looks a bit tight!

Hoping to drive one of these soon.

Yes, we're really pleased with the spec. We held out for the red interior and the new final drive ratio too.

The Tekna (top of the range) also gets leather seats (which in my opinion don't hold you as well), the iKey like the 370Z (love it) and auto lights / wipers (I wouldn't pay extra for them). The Premium pack we go includes the reversing camera which I think is a must on the Juke.

It won't be going in the garage (we never even attempted that in the Fiesta). The garage is full of home brew, tools and detailing kit :yahoo:

Very, I like that :lol:

I have all the extras with my Tekna pack on my QQ and have to say, they really are wonderful. I wouldn't want to loose the reversing camera now, it is excellent.

It was an extra £1k for the Tekna so we decided it was just a bit too much for the parts of the pack we really wanted. If it'd been half leather like the 370 I think we'd have gone for it.

Yes, on the Juke forum :yahoo:

I might do a similar one for here but with the 370Z in the foreground.

If you want a Juke-R you'll have to steel it from Nissan as they are only making one :lol:

The Dig-T (1.6 Turbo) is the fastest you can get although I hear that Abbey are looking to map both the petrol and diesel turbo cars - that could be interesting!
