The Juke S is the most affordable spec in the trim lines that also include SL, SV, Nismo and the new-for-2014 Nismo RS model.

While loving the 2013 Nissan Juke NISMO recently, and giving it the Best Turbo Sports Car, Under $25,000 Best Of Award here on CarRevsDaily, we realized something else.

What was that discovery? In the latest new-for2014 paint colors like this triple black: this is a car that looks and feels like it is worth at least $10,000 more than its $24,000 total price.

The NISMO is $24,000, but honestly represents such good value for this style and performance … that other road users will never know it is not $35,000.

Another relatively unknown item about the Juke from Nissan? All of the models have really good base power via the same turbocharged 1.6-liter engine. So what if $24,000 for the NISMO is still out of reach? Is the Juke only cool as a Nismo item?

Nope, not at all. Not only are the base Juke models available with front-drive and a six–speed manual (or AWD and an automatic), they are thisclose to the NISMO cars in terms of road presence.

How? The base S trim offers both the Sport package with body-color accents to the extra rear wing, and a delightful Midnight Edition for this $19,000 car as well. The Midnight is the car pictured here in gold, which really makes its black accents pop like fireworks.

THe rear spoiler, rims and mirrors all add a rich coat of metallic black, and it totally transforms the street cred of this pocket rocket.

The full stats, pricing and specs are below from Nissan. But the proof is really in the drive quality for the Juke. Go check it out. If this isnt the best seating position, steering feel and handling verve for under $20,000 — I will eat my hat!

No tall-crossover tippiness, and enough versatility to get things done. As the Midnight Edition, this $20,000 Juke carries much of the cache of its NISMO brothers. Just at a far more friendly price.

188HP Turbo Standard — 2014 Nissan JUKE Midnight Edition — 6-Sp Manual FWD From $19,000 — AWD Auto from $21,000

The Juke S is the most affordable spec in the trim lines that also include SL, SV, Nismo and the new-for-2014 Nismo RS model.

While loving the 2013 Nissan Juke NISMO recently, and giving it the Best Turbo Sports Car, Under $25,000 Best Of Award here on CarRevsDaily, we realized something else.

What was that discovery? In the latest new-for2014 paint colors like this triple black: this is a car that looks and feels like it is worth at least $10,000 more than its $24,000 total price.

The NISMO is $24,000, but honestly represents such good value for this style and performance … that other road users will never know it is not $35,000.

Another relatively unknown item about the Juke from Nissan? All of the models have really good base power via the same turbocharged 1.6-liter engine. So what if $24,000 for the NISMO is still out of reach? Is the Juke only cool as a Nismo item?

Nope, not at all. Not only are the base Juke models available with front-drive and a six–speed manual (or AWD and an automatic), they are thisclose to the NISMO cars in terms of road presence.

How? The base S trim offers both the Sport package with body-color accents to the extra rear wing, and a delightful Midnight Edition for this $19,000 car as well. The Midnight is the car pictured here in gold, which really makes its black accents pop like fireworks.

THe rear spoiler, rims and mirrors all add a rich coat of metallic black, and it totally transforms the street cred of this pocket rocket.

The full stats, pricing and specs are below from Nissan. But the proof is really in the drive quality for the Juke. Go check it out. If this isnt the best seating position, steering feel and handling verve for under $20,000 — I will eat my hat!

No tall-crossover tippiness, and enough versatility to get things done. As the Midnight Edition, this $20,000 Juke carries much of the cache of its NISMO brothers. Just at a far more friendly price.
