The juke jukes all other vehicles!
I absolutely love my juke! Quick and speedy little car that is great on gas and great for parking anywhere in the city! It is roomy enough to fold down the seats and head to the beach with my two big dogs! I would definitely recommend a juke to any and everyone!

Fun car for a small family.
I haven't had too many issues with my car. The window motor has gone out in the driver door but nothing major has happened since I have had the car, going on 6 years. Drives great with great gas mileage. Fun to drive and it is not too big or small. Wouldn't recommend for a big family. It is fits my toddler and husband just fine and could fit another baby if needed.

Wonderful gas mileage. Roomy. Good starter car. Rides smoothly.
The Nissan juke has been an incredible starter car. It gets wonderful gas mileage and performs very well. The only problem that I have with the Nissan juke is that the tire pressure comes on almost every month, I guess it just does not register the tire pressure in the tires. However, that is my only complaint because it has been such an easy car in many different aspects.

She’s a tiny torpedo; adventure awaits.
Some very minor electrical issues (windshield wipers do not always work correctly on “timed” settings, and had some issues with the aux not wanting to connect; pros - it is tiny, cons - it is tiny. It is like my tiny torpedo. I love it! Great for small roads. Wonderful turn radius!

Great funky car, fun to drive and very reliable.
I love this car, it is the best car I ever owned and I am very sad that it is not produced in the us anymore. I would love to get a newer version of the car. It is compact, not bulky as other SUVs, and with AWD it is very safe to drive in the winter and mountains. I use it for trips all over the country and it never failed me. It is very reliable, maneuverable and fun to drive. I also like it's funky design.

Love the car, it is so ugly it is cute!
Pros- the turbocharged engine is great when merging on the highway. The look of the car goes perfect with my personality. I jam out to music while driving, it is an added bonus having the subwoofer and Bose speakers throughout the car! Cons- the electrical issues. The car is a push start, sometimes the engine will not start, not even a wine of it trying either. (side note- yes, there’s a new battery and everything electrical turns on yet the engine is just silent).

Awesome, unique, & practical.
I love this car's "get up & go" I do not like slow cars so this is great. It also has and eco function though so that I can drive better for mpg when I want to. It is also practical for winter, the AWD works great! Comfort wise, I love the leather & heated seats. Part of what I like about the exterior is the way the front looks, the lights are set higher up, making for a very unique silhouette. I haven't had problems really, just general maintenance issues after 76, 000 miles on the car.

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.

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.
accountCircle 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
accountCircle 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.
accountCircle 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

likeFilled 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

dislikeFilled 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.
