Default WTF where they thinking?

Very nice davey! Bet that's a hoot. They are really nice cars IMHO, looks are polarising but I like them (incidentally not a fan of the curvy so there is a lack of continuity for me)

Best colour for a juke too! Surprised they don't do a nice blue option for them but it might not look right I guess. White is rather unflattering for it.

Was sorely tempted to trade for the glass roof option they finally have and the nice daytime lights, like the look of those. but hey ho, when they do a Plug in hybrid version then I'd be pre-ordering!

You may be waiting for a long time.
Ps
No spoiler with the roof

I've not got the spoiler on the DIGT at the moment :-/ kinda wanted it but decided to wait on it then never got round to it.

Shame about the plug in hybrid. I like the idea at the moment, sidestep range anxiety but give me a very cheap way to do my commute and the other short journeys that countless cars get used for.

The running lights look good and are nice and bright not only in the day but arguable could be used as headlights. Mine has bluetooth, ipod connection, start/stop the lot. No sat nav tho as we just use our phones and I feel built in systems are poor these days.

The connect 2 system is very good.
You can use your mobile to link in your map desistions. Search for places lots of stuff. it's brilliant.
I'm a fan of DAB radio now too.
You can change the trims on a juke too

Ntec, is it an "easy" swap from connect to connect2? Would love it but got ours too early.

No one has ever asked to up grade.
Tbh never even taken out a connect 2. Even though they have been in use for a fairly long time.
If you want I'll look up the harness.
