A great car with a smooth drive.

This car is awesome. It seems small from the outside however it is very roomy inside. It can fit 5 adults comfortably. It comes with a sunroof which is great on those beautiful days when you like to let a little sunshine come through. It is very reliable. I have had no major issues with it since I bought it 5 years ago. The only thing that is an issue is that it does not really have a trunk. This is not a big issue for me because I just lay the seats down to make more room but I am sure it may be an issue for others.

The one most important thing others should know about my car is that it is a good car and I recommend it.

I like that it is tall like an SUV but small like a car so I can parallel park in the city with no problems. I dislike that the side mirrors are real big and hard to see around.

The Nissan chatbox everything you need to know about the Nissan juke etc.

I own the Nissan juke it is very sporty and also very roomy and most of all it a gas saver, the Nissan juke is very dependable and reliable. I have own the juke for 3 years and haven't had any major problem as of yet it is fully loaded that make it even more enjoyable to drive. I love my juke and I think so will you and the Nissan juke have a lot of great features like the navigation system and the audio system is the best in its class and it also have more cargo space for storing things at it really a sporty little car.

It is great on gas mileage and fills up on about $20

I love that my car is a compact suv. Not too big not too small.

Cortnie D

Amazing gas mileage and hands free.

Only downfall is the small backseat. I love the gas mileage and that I can change into a manual. Amazing radio and has hands free. I seem to go through tires quickly though, not sure if it is my neighborhood or the car. I definitely recommend this car to others.

Em M

Backup camera, push-to-start, nismo, racing edition, Nissan juke.

The Nissan juke is overall a great vehicle. Nissan brand vehicles in general are reliable. The Nissan juke nismo edition is the racing edition and the seats I'd be more comfortable, but the vehicle is fun to drive. The back-up camera and push-to-start feature has been helpful.

Ed M

No corners cut, everything top notch, they didn't compromise on anything anywhere for a base model, stock everything

Great compromise just short of an SUV, in a smaller car. Great ground clearance for snow/off road, great all wheel systems, takes off like a rocket, even without switching to turbo, if needed. Great stock sound system, tech stuff it came with, handles, rides, turns great. No complaints, only praise

Thea C

It is the perfect size for me, not too big but not too small!

I love my Nissan juke! It is the most spacious car you have had yet. I am a college student and the gas mileage is perfect for my college student pockets. The inside media and AUX outlet is a plus as well! Overall this is the perfect car for traveling to work or traveling on road trips.

Don't buy a Nissan Juke, You're Welcome

I had to change the transmission after just 3 years. It is extremely small and cannot fit much if you are considering moving anything. The gas mileage is awful. There is no center console in this vehicle. This car just has no space for any large items, and with traveling it's an awful. The gas mileage can't even get you three and a half hours.

Shantel P

A money pit with low gas mileage.

Too small, no arm rest, sunroof leaks, front brakes squeak even after changes pads and rotors, not enough leg room in the back, low head clearance in the back seat, not enough trunk space, break sensor failed pretty quickly, number of miles left on the tank of gas is not accurate and cannot be trusted.

Maya T

Overall, a fun spunky car but not as good as it looks.

Having gotten the car use, I cannot ensure that all of the issues I have with the car are not due to previous owners care of the vehicles. The juke handles poorly, especially regarding how it takes turns at any higher speed. The rearview mirror falls off while I drive, not going over bumps or potholes. The car looks much bigger than it is, the back seat and trunk space are very small.

Thomas E

Unique shape rear door handles are hard to see for people getting in the back

Reliable, great head room, rear seats fold down for extra trunk space. MPG not as good as one would think. Fun little car to drive and affordable. If you do your own maintenance the engine bay is small. Also have to remove more items than you want to just to replace spark plugs.

Kelly L

Do not purchase this vehicle.

My turbo blew, ac fan went bad, accelerates poorly. Only 75,000 miles currently on it. Only positive is the price for top of the line. Leather seats, sunroof and seat warmers. Because of this car, I will never purchase a Nissan again. Should not have this many problems under 80,000 miles.

Jorge D

Fun car for single people. Not for really hot weather.

Fun car to drive. It turns like it's on rails. Fast pickup too when the turbo kicks in. Best for single people imo. Have issues with cooling though. Have replaced the radiator fan motor, the radiator, the evaporator and I think I may need to replace the compressor as I still do not have ac after the evaporator replacement. Overall 3/5. Maybe I just had bad luck with the cooling.

Tristan S

Junie the juke -what I like and do not like.

I do not like how small it is. The Bluetooth is not easy to access. Has a great engine, though. Drives smoothly and operates like a gem. I would prefer the front seats to be able to go back a little further and the trunk to be a little bigger. Overall, great car.

Dani L

It's pricey and I'm not sure why. It's not an impressive automobile.

I do not like that the gas tank is small and I have to fill up twice a week. I like that it has all wheel drive. It is not peppy even with a turbo engine. I don't like that it does not have a lot of cargo room.

Juke is a fun car to drive!

Love the car, handling, size. Do not like the interior cheap materials that were used - floor carpeting is more like fuzz; pleather that is used on the sides & backs of the leather seats is cheap and cracks for no reason. A fun car to drive, nice stereo system, responsive engine with the turbo.

Carla N on June 21, 2021

Very roomy front seats area.

Back seat is very small and hard to get in and out, hard to put a car seat in, slope of hatch reduces what you can haul, I love the room in the front seat, love the heated seats, love that it is a small car but sits up higher like an SUV, I like the lights on the front.

Pros from Owners

Lana K.

It is a compact SUV, I like it is size and maneuverability. It is easy to handle and does not feel like an AWD when I am driving it. I also love it's funky design. I wish they still continued making it so that I could swap it for the latest model. With my Juke, I do not need another car.

Cons from Owners

Lana K.

Compact, easy to navigate and handle, but at the same time a full-blown SUV in a sedan size. It is very reliable, never let me down (I didn't have major repairs on it yet), and is fun to drive. Design is the best.
