I just recently purchased my Juke, and I must say it is quite a unique vehicle. The interior is very modern and 21st century, providing you with a space age feel. Seating is moderatly comfortable, however rear seating is a litte cramped as is head room. Some say the outside is hideous replicating a praying mantis or some sort of bug. This look is not for everyone, and it's either a take it or leave it for most buyers. Driving it is a blast especially in sport mode. It has some pick up and go to it when you need, and the ECO mode when you want to be green. MPG is not what it should be, however you do have to remember this is an SUV.

I've owned my 2012 Juke SL for a little over a year. I can say, honestly, it was a great purchase. Not once have I need to take it in for repairs other than oil changes. it's smaller gas tank size is made up by great MPG. One thing that is noticeable is the handling, grips the road very well with easy, quick and tight turns. My only warning is limited storage throughout the whole vehicle. It has two cup holders and a very tiny cubby to put stuff and that is it, literally. This is sadly, the only reason I'm looking at a new vehicle. The storage space just isn't there. Hope this helps!

So far, so good. Wanted something SMALL

Have had this car for about two months now. I purchased this auto because it is very easy to steer and also has the AWD feature. It is very easy to maneuver & park. The turbo really provides bursts of energy, especially when using the "Sport" mode. I am getting around 29 to 31 MPG in town. Haven't yet taken it on a long drive, but figure I will get more MPG using the "economy" mode. I love the looks, the handling, & the weight of it. I was looking to replace a 2000 VW Beetle. Interior could be nicer, but it does have heated seats. They need to add an "auto down" button for passenger seat and add electric adjustable driver's seat. I wanted something quick and nimble & easy to drive.

Have 91k on the car now. The interior is showing a bit of age. The engine isn’t quite as peppy as it was (at our age, who IS as peppy as they were?). Haven’t had any major problems. The heater is kinda weird though…60 degrees is too cool, 61 degrees is full on heater. But that’s been a problem the whole time.

I love this car so much! I don't have anything negative to say about my Juke. It is fun to drive, looks amazing, and catches everyone's eye. I've had several people stop me in parking lots and ask to look at my car. The Juke is definitely a hit with me!
