Title: Golf GTI on Jacked up suspension with front and rear collision damage?
Post by: monkeyhanger on 15 August 2013, 19:13

Just saw a Nissan Juke Nismo on the way home from a Pub meal - trying very hard to look like a GTI with all the red piping accents on the exterior. Was quite nimble, but looked like it was going to topple over when the owner went to undertake me on a roundabout to go straight over (he was in a compulsory "left only" lane). He looked very disappointed in the rear view mirror that he couldn't get past me (or shocked that he almost crashed into the person he cut up who was behind me and seemed very pissed off with him) Looked it up when I got home - what is the point of 200PS on an ungainly lump like a Juke?

Nowt wrong with the Juke IMO, Nissan actually had the balls to release something 'different' looking. Yes it's a marmite car, but that's a good thing.

If you want ugly with the theft of GTI accents  :sick::

I actually quite like the new Kia, wouldn't buy one but it's still nice imo.


Red accents are being used by wuite a few mk's these days:

I quite like the Kia in the same way I quite like the orange Focus ST - OK for others to own and for me to look at, but wouldn't own one mysef!
