What's the point of the Nissan Juke?

Today I'm in a Nissan Juke. This is a car I've always disliked and never understood. If you run the Nissan Juke fan club, probably best if you don't watch. Ignorance is bliss, after all.

I’ve never heard anyone roast a car this much in one sitting

[MrUPSman]

This is the funniest review you've made. Absolutely hilarious. You got me cracked up at Jayden, Hayden and Okayden

[markviggers]

For clarity... You're not a fan of the Juke right? 😂

[Therollingpanda]

“The little diamond of doom, the hallmark of quality” 😂😂😂

[Aruneh]

Jaden, Braden and Okayden. That’s the best thing I’ve heard this year. :D

[MatchboxGarage]

My wife loved her Juke 🥰
I am glad it got stolen 😂

[comments]

You say it as it is. This is what I like about you. No bullshit or twisting around facts. Respect!

[mattvjestica]

And despite all that I imagine this car will sell in no time 😂😂😂

I think the Juke is very much indicative of the times we are living in: Ugliness is lauded, being aggressive is a must, and elegance is an obsolete concept. This is why this car is so popular. My neighbor loves hers and is on a 3rd one by now. To me, it's simply an aberration. Not to be outdone, Toyota decided to come out with the CH-R, another beauty.

"watching daytime TV on their BRIGHT HOUSE plasma" loving the humour in your videos mate

[JIMMYHIBBS]

Even Honest John's not that honest 😂

[greymark]

There is no point driving a bug. : Oh mate you creased me up, with the young mother gag. :)))

[beeswax]

Jaden & Okayden’s mam has already given you a thumbs down! 💀😅

I have watched and enjoyed all your reviews and agreed so keep up thee good work, but I have to disagree with a lot of this review.
Having owned a Juke while living in Canada which was an AWD version with 186 HP I can say that it was absolutely brilliant in snow conditions, the three position select-able switch for Front wheel only, On Demand and all time AWD facility was excellent, also in dry weather the 186 HP engine was no slouch either.
I do think you are correct about the front styling but the side and rear views I think are not bad at all, there are a lot worse looking vehicles out there, it would appear that with over one million sales the styling seems to appeal to a lot of people, I think that maybe people are missing the point, the styling was meant to be something fresh and different?
We did find it to be a practical, totally reliable vehicle
Also perhaps we should give Nissan some credit for designing something a little different to the numerous bland vehicles out there ??

I got one as a courtesy car while my car was being serviced, and it was so boring. It was a bottom of the range model, so no toys to play with in the cabin. The engine was a 1.4 petrol, and you could pull away in 3rd, then it would take 5th gear from about 20mph - it was about as close to an automatic as a manual car could get. It took forever to reach 70mph and really didn't want to go any faster, except once when travelling downhill with a following wind.

It was surprisingly big on the outside without translating that to the cabin. If it was a Micra on stilts it would probably be an okay car, but it's a Micra in a fat suit on stilts, and someone in Nissan's design team should have 'lost' the blueprints before they got anywhere near engineering. Maybe they did, so the engineers had the platform ready and tried their hand at designing the coachwork to put on it...

You know what I personally like about your style of reviewing cars? It's the fact that you're not full of yourself like 99% of car vloggers. Don't ever change, Matt!

[chrisaherne]

The Juke has been the subject of seven recalls, with potential faults ranging from possible fuel leaks to oxygen sensor problems, so it's worth speaking to a Nissan dealer to check that any car you're interested in buying has had the necessary work carried out.

[coloroftheworld]

Each to his own.
I love my Juke, its funky, perfect for a single woman with no kids. I will never be seen driving a boring Honda CR-V.

[ollysimpson]

I was already laughing about previous comments like Steve merchants face and designed by Josef fritzel then Mycock lane popped up! Yes I’m very childish 👍

[lawrenceholden]

Think you might have this in stock for a while after this review ! Sometimes cars that have radical styling are popular because so many cars are boringly similar, suvs are generally big ugly things hard to distinguish one from another and after the original mk 1, I'm convinced the Golf design team just have a meeting to decide what enlargement setting to put on the photocopier when they want a new model. Another great honest review.
