Nissan Juke Nismo RS

Has anyone on here owned/lived with a Juke Nismo RS?

Giving some consideration to getting one. I know they are a bit marmite, but I like them.

Just wondered if there are any things to look out for specifically? If I get one it will be the 2WD manual as the CVT gearbox I test drove years ago was atrocious!

I had a non RS when they first came out but never got round to trying an RS which I hoped solved the issues. 100% avoid nissans cvt gearbox. The standard Nismo by name only had a good engine but it struggled to put the power down, the brakes were terrible especially at high speed and it handled no better then our Qashqai.
The RS has an lsd, little more power and bigger brakes so hopefully some of these issues have been resolved or improved upon.
We would never of kept it as baby number 1 came along and the other half at 5'8" couldn't sit in the front passenger seat with a car.seat behind it. They did a really good job of making the rear so small in the Juke.
