2011 Nissan JUKE Reviews

I do love the visual design of the Nissan juke, and it is comfortable to drive and is compact so it is easy to park. However, the 2011 model has become notorious for its various problems, and this is a high maintenance car overall anyway. There was a recall on the timing chain, which was fixed for free the first time, but when it malfunctioned a second time, Nissan took no responsibility. Personally my car is currently being diagnosed for the air conditioning randomly quitting. I have also had to install a battery disconnect switch due to a parasitic drain I haven’t be able to find the source of. The car also prefers premium gas. And, the cargo space is lacking. The seats fold down, but the design at the top of the hatchback makes fitting furniture in a hassle.

My 2011 nissan juke was bought through a used car agency. Originally I had no problems with the car, but over time I have developed issues with the key sensor. At times the car will not pick up if the key is close to the door to open and sometimes even the engine wont start because the car wont recognize the key. Other than that, I have no issues with the car. It runs well, I love the turbo. The seats are pretty comfortable to sit in, but the car comes with no middle console for an arm rest. Luckily, third parties make console inserts if you would like one. My juke is cute, comfy, and very reliable.

I really do love my Juke.. This vehicle definitely has its perks as well as drawbacks. The front seats boast spacious leg room, although the back seats seem a bit cramped. The optional AWD is a definite plus and you can adjust the torque and such via a button on the climate control dash. The push button start is a wonderful attribute to this Juke SV. The engine is wonderful and the 10 gallon gas tank can be a blessing sometimes as well as an irritant. It seems I'm having to fill the tank up quite often. I suppose that would be obvious. I like the automatic/partial manual transmission despite its tendency to get too hot on interstate trips lasting longer than an hour. All in all, I do love my Juke.

Although the jukes are small in size, the price to repair them is enormous. I love little cars but we have had nothing but problems with the juke due to 2011 was the first year for them. Parts are nearly impossible to find, and if you are lucky enough to find them, they charge outrageous for it. My advice? Buy a different car. It will save you money in the long run. I have been with my wife, now wife, almost three years, her car needs about 4 grand to pay it off. I have put over 8 in it so far, and that is just the wear and tear.

After almost a year of purchasing my juke, I had to replace the engine because the timing belt was going out and when I took it to Nissan to fix they said nothing was wrong with it. The engine and the timing belt did not fall under warranty. The electrical in the car is bad and goes out all the time and is also not under warranty. It is good for a first time car if you do not have a family. The extras are nice and it has good pick up and go. I love the all wheel drive, but unfortunately the mechanical and electrical issues weight out more than everything else.

Feels like driving a large SUV but drives like a car. Large enough to carry 4 people but not a luxury SUV. Great in bad weather. Lacks power but I rarely need excess power. Has enough space to fit whatever I need to carry providing there's no one sitting in the back seats. I purchased it to replace my Honda Civic after a car accident when I went off the road in a snowstorm. It makes me feel safe being able to switch it from 2 wheel to 4 wheel to all wheel drive. I also love the look of it as it is different than all the other vehicles on the road that look like boxes with 4 wheels.

I love the look of my juke and love having heated seats along with the sunroof. The Nissan juke has very good performance with the turbos. They can be kind of costly to fix. I love having all wheel drive too. Having and using the back up camera takes a little to get used to. They have two catalytic converters which is an added expense when having exhaust work. The downfall for me and the reason why I will be getting rid of it came after my husband was able to track me like a dog in it.

I love the juke! It accelerates very fast on the highway and gets great mileage even with city driving. I do get a lot of complaints about not having enough room in the backseat, but I didn't buy the car with the intention of sitting in the back. I am the driver! My juke has black and red leather interior and it is plush! I have a connector that hooks up to my iPhone so that I can charge my phone and play music at the same time! It does also have Bluetooth so I can access hands free calling while I am driving. I absolutely love my car!

Our car is as basic as it comes - we added no real extras. The trunk space is nice given the size of the car & the seats fold down easily should you need more room. The legroom is great in the front seats, but the back can only get so much - definitely not for tall passengers. Only disappointing factor is closed storage! There is none, other than the glove box. Nowhere to put a box of kleenex or a child's toy, and only 2 cup holders for the entire vehicle.

The performance of my juke is great! It has a turbo engine and very comfortable seats. Some things that are not so great include how small the car is, how loud the car is when driving, and the suspension. I was told because it is a faster car it has a tighter suspension that causes me to feel every little bump while driving. The sound system in the car is not too great either. I do feel as though it is a very reliable car and is pretty decent on gas. This car has a great heater and ac as well.

The performance of this small, four door vehicle is great. It's comfortable for a small person but not so much for a tall or heavy set person. The dash is easy to read but some of the controls are a bit confusing at times; for example, the controls to the A/C can be confused as turn controls only instead of a push and turn control. A label on the D-mode portion could be transferred over to help fix this problem. As for reliability, it is an extremely dependable car. It doesn't have any issues taking ice or snow. Long trips are that daunting when you have satellite radio and an Eco Mode to help you stretch your tank out longer. There is a drawback to the car though, and it possible is biggest flaw, the tire pressure sensors. These little guys roll around with your tire and they are supposed to be best buddies, but there days when it's too hot and the sensors will go off. If it gets too cold, they will go off. Now there is an easy fix to it, which is switching to nitrogen instead of using air. Other than that, is a really good car.

Amazing in the snow, I have never gotten stuck in it. The backseat is a bit small for passengers but if you are driving alone usually it is the perfect size for a car. I absolutely love it and will be driving it until I cannot anymore. The side mirrors are huge, which is nice when using them but they do give you a bit of a blind spot in combination with the frame between the door and the front windshield, which caused an issue for me before. Now that I have noticed it is easy to work around.

I purchased this car used from a private seller that took particularly good care of it. While it is not a souped up Speedwagon, it is small and nimble with an acceptable level of speed for my needs. Easy to parallel park, the goofy eye bubbles actually really help with knowing where the front of the car ends. I have a manual transmission which is still very smooth for its age. I am a tall person and with the seat down and back there is enough headroom for me, there is even more headroom without the sunroof. Leather seats are comfortable, heated seat feature has two settings and provides enough heat to keep you warm in the winter. Little in terms of blind spots, even more so when you take the headrests off the back seat. When you put the back seats down there is actually a good amount of space, I have fit a whole dresser in there and another time fit a whole dining room furnishing trip from ikea. I love my car, and with the tinted windows and body accessories it is approachable with just the right amount of aggressiveness for a casual car buyer.

I purchased my juke five years ago as a teen and it's still taking care of me very well. I have had a few wear and tear issues than can be expected with most cars, the exhaust pipe once snapped after going over a bump because it was rusted, but nothing outrageous for a car that's now ten years old. Comfort has never been an issue. Heated leather seats, floor lights, reverse camera, fantastic air conditioning, and a good stereo system. I hope to keep driving my juke until it finally gives out on me. I have been driving it since I was sixteen. The four wheel drive is great in most driving conditions as well. The only issue I have ever had was when visiting Canada in the winter, the snow fall there is a lot more than where I live. However, it still got me safely through a roughly nine hour trip across the border and then all the way back home, even with the challenge of snow.
