I’ve had mine for 3 months, and I love it! It’s a funky little car, parking and handling is a breeze, getting in and out is comfortable. It’s super teen friendly, my daughter was struggling learning to drive my husbands old truck, but with the juke she was a natural! Being able to see the indicator lights blink with the direction she is turning, helps to remind her to use her turn signal. The giant mirrors assist in easy parking, and merging.
My daughter is 6’ 2’, and I’m 5’ 5” (she gets her height from her father) both of us can comfortably drive this car. The horn is a little pathetic but I’d say it suits the style of the car!

The door handles are super ergonomic, I have bad wrist problems and the circle design on the inside handles don’t put any strain on my wrists.

Just bought one Tuesday for my very first car, honestly loving it

I've always liked the look of the Juke. I can't pinpoint exactly what I liked about it visually, maybe it's the lights and the combination of the body styling, but it just stands out. Is it a great car, absolutely. It's not the best, but from my experience it's better than what the detractors say about it. It's fun to drive, handles extremely well, great gas milage and it's just a pleasure banging through the gears on the highway.

I live in US, and I own a juke. Love it to death. Mine is 2011. Bought it new. I bought because it’s a bit quirky! No longer part of Nisan line-up here.

I have a 2020 Corolla, and I bought a 2012 Nissan Juke with a low-mileage, turbo engine. After driving the Juke, I parked the Corolla at home, and I used the Juke permanently. Its driving is very enjoyable, especially with the fast turbo engine. One of the best things that Nissan made

A neighbour of mine traded his Merc for a juke 🤪. I thought he’d lost his mind, but he loves it. Takes all sorts...

I just bought one used with 42, 000 miles, I have drove it as a work car for 2 months now and getting great gas mileage. Personally, I like the way its looks. It's just different. My previous ride was a Veloster, which also was a weird design. The Juke rides alot smoother the n my Veloster, so it was a upgrade for me. So far so good, I don't have too many complaints about this economical and practical crossover.

I have a 2014 Nissan Juke SL that I bought used in 2018. After almost 5 years, I still love it! Mine has the 4-cyl turbo engine and while the mileage isn't as high as newer models, it is still head and shoulders above the Ford Mustang that it replaced. Unfortunately, Nissan no longer offers the Juke here in the U.S., so when I have to replace it, it will have to be with something else.

Always like the look of the Juke don’t really understand why people are so against it to be honest

[lornaclarke]

Absolutely love my juke, great for my back issues that I have so I find it really comfortable. Great to drive. I had a 16 plate and traded for 18 plate automatic. Both outstanding cars 😊

I like the high driving position and the flat load area. It's a decent little runabout and most of the hi-tech features can safely be ignored or treated as set-and-forget.

I just bought a 2011 as a gas saver. I really like the car, it has a good firm ride, it's fast with the turbo, a little cramped inside, I expected that, handles fantastic.

I have had a 2014 Juke for 6 years. I love my car. It’s very peppy. The Juke’s “get up and go” is amazing!

A fair review at last! 😄Had one for 2 years, loved the car, never had any problems with it, was around 48, 000 miles. Part exchanged it for a Jaguar XF, and not really sure I like the Jag better. Even though the XF is a 2L diesel and Tax is only about £30, it's much heavier, and MPG round town is prob about 40mpg at best (despite MPG claims). I always liked the look of the Juke, thought it was very stylish, would have another one. My only complaint was the headlights, not really bright enough for 70MPH on a dual carriage way, always looked like I was driving into the dark.

I've had mine for 6 years, and I love my Juke!

Live in the u.s., 2015 turbo(cvt) fwd, awd, and awd vectoring 188 hp factory. Added an injen short ram, stillen catback, stillen performance rear antisway bar, and tanabe front tower brace. Pushing 210 hp now, and it sticks to the road, growls, and the intake sounds like dragon's breath. Turned a kitten into a panther for just about 1200 bucks u.s. Phenomenal car, understated and underrated. Just ordered a pedal pro (injen) black edition x throttle controller. Sad as hell 2019 was last year in u.s. would buy another in a heartbeat. Most fun car ever as a daily driver with balls.

You are spot on with your review. I have had mine for 2 weeks and the pot hole thing where the car jumps a bit and the seats not being the most comfortable (Although I spent about an hour finding the seat sweet spot, and that is now resolved) Everything else abut the car is great. Auto headlights, Auto Windscreen washer etc.
I drove a London Taxi for 30 years and there is a similarity to the Metrocab (No longer in existence) with the Juke that I really like, yes even how it handles potholes, although I still haven't tried the traction control yet!
One thing I will mention that is very important for anyone who has the keyless entry and engine start is to buy a good quality faraday wallet to house the entry key when not needed, as this prevents a potential relay attack!

I’m on my second Juke, current one a 2017 diesel tekna and I love it. I got it with 3k on the clock and its now just turned 80k. Only issue has been condenser stone damaging taking my air con out, a design fault in my opinion.

[sir_Epslon]

everyone started copying juke's style

[sophies.]

Thank you for the video! I agree with you that the design is somewhat weird, but after taking a look at the car a few times I actually started to like it :)
