I have driven BMWs, Toyotas, and all the rest and the 2011 JUKE has been the best car for me. I have 30k miles on it and literally have not had a single issue. This car handles great, has super pick up and power and is by far the most reliable car I have ever owned. Hats off to Nissan on this one! They did everything right. And by the way, I am 6'5"and my son is 6'6" and the front seats leave plenty of room. Buy what you want, but at least I told you my JUKE story.

I bought this 2015 Nissan Juke SL as a replacement for my 2012 JUKE SL that was totaled in an accident (not of my making) on 2/15/2017. It has taken this long to find the close replacement car, and even though it doesn't have awd, as my 2012 JUKE SL did, in NC it is not as necessary as it was in CO at 8600 ft elevation. I think Nissan has made a big mistake in discontinuing this model car and that they just did a poor job of marketing it plus having named it badly. This car is so much fun to drive and has good acceleration with the turbo along with fantastic fuel economy. I always considered it to be "my porche 911" wanna be (poor girl's porche) and it never disappointed. I drove it from mountains of CO to mountains (albeit smaller mountains) of NC (~ 1500 miles) with my adult son, my Newfi (110lbs) and my terrier mix rescue plus car full of literal baggage) very comfortably. I love, love, love this car and have owned many cars, including BMW, AUDI, GMC, FORD (trucks and Mustang), FIAT (spider and sedan a million years ago, when it was Fiat), but none are as much fun and as economical to drive as my turbo Juke SL. They really needed to have called it something else - works for me because my last name is FUCHS, so it was Fuchs' JUKE or the FUCHS JUKE. But really, for the population at large, it was the wrong name for a car model.

The Juke is a tiny crossover that looks like a cyborg frog. Yes. We've known that for years. Get over it. Appreciate it for what it is. A ridiculously fun to drive, easy to park, efficient, weather-versatile vehicle. It has a small interior that "seats" 5 but only if the backseat is occupied by kids, supermodels, or thin people. 6 footers won't have much legroom, but if you frequently drive around tall people, DON'T BUY A TINY VEHICLE. Get a Rogue, it has tons of legroom, and is much more boring to drive. The Juke has plenty of shortcomings, but for single people or childless married couples or small (in size) families it's fine. Being a tiny SUV makes it super easy to park, especially with Nissan's awesome around view camera system (on SL models). It's fairly fuel efficient, the Rockford Fosgate sound system has lots of bass, the touchscreen Nav is easy to use, and the I-CON system is fun to play with. The Turbo really kicks in around 2500 RPM and stays strong to around 5500 RPM. Now to explain the bad things. The door panels are cheap, like one step above the Versa. Which is pathetic for a $27k vehicle. The Sentra, for $6-10k less, has a higher quality interior overall. The dash and console trim are okay, but could be better. The optional armrest should be standard. The car is sometimes too tiny. Headroom in the backseats is suitable for a 6 footer, but not legroom. The Versa, again, at nearly half the price, offers an armrest for the rear seats. The Juke doesn't. While the Rockford Fosgate sound system has great bass, the mids are just average and the highs lacking. The AWD model's 11.5 gallon fuel tank is inconvenient, as it's hard to make it to 300 miles on one tank. The biggest issue to me is the lack of a telescoping steering wheel. It's like the seating position was designed by literal monkeys. You either long-arm the steering wheel to drive with your legs in comfort, or scoot up two or three clicks on the seat track and have your knees and ankles feel uncomfortable after half an hour. The shortcomings don't take much from the whole package though. The Juke is a nice vehicle.

I purchased a brand new Juke SV in 2015. It had lots of goodies that made it fun, however, 31 average miles to the gallon city, ability to be in 2WD, 4WD, and AWD, and really fun colors, made it even sweeter. I was recently in a rollover accident, and my poor baby gave her life for me. Safety is top notch.I walked away with only bumps and bruises! No problems with it ever at just under 40,000 miles. WHY did Nissan stop making it? It was quirky, fun, different, so fun to drive, easy handling, and really had pep when you needed without being in sport mode. Having a dickens of a time finding a replacement vehicle. I am updating this review one year after my accident. I still miss that vehicle. If Nissan ever brings it back, I will buy one. This is now my second update. I purchased a VW Beetle, and while fun, just can't compare. Now searching for a used Juke with low mileage. Realized that Juke is still made in Europe! Wish it was here.

I bought the first model year Juke in 2010 and kept it for several years before trading it in for a Mazda CX-5. I thought I needed more cargo space. The CX-5 was an excellent SUV but was boring to drive after the Juke. I recently bought another Juke (2015) and noticed a big improvement over the 2011 model. Gone are the interior creaking noises. The whole vehicle has a more solid feel. MPG is improved. The Juke is not sports car fast but is faster than peppy. Maybe zippy fast is a better description. It handles very well, especially with the AWD-V selection. AWD is a must in snowy Michigan. The interior is very comfortable for my 5'9 body. All controls are easily accessible. Sort of reminds me of driving a go-cart. Biggest drawback is cargo space but it is enough for my needs. The front headlights were a little weak but I probably became used to the CX-5's HID's. I fixed this with a bulb change.
