Small but delightfully sporty.
I love my juke, however the ride is rougher than I had initially expected, especially on country routes, but I enjoy the feel of the turbocharged engine and athletic handling on the highway. The interior quality is low, though that is not my main interest in a vehicle. The fuel costs are also higher than my previous vehicles, due to it requiring premium fuel. Overall, the juke fits my needs and I have very few issues with performance or reliability.

It a very good small size of SUV with all needed to travel.
Its fast, small, high off the ground, it's a small sus. Love it has media music with cell hook up so I can talk on my cell phone without cell in hand. It good on gas with right size gas tank that fit with my budget. It's easy to clean without too much work.

Love the height and handling.
I love that the seat height is higher than that of a sedan but the car itself if relatively small. I like the amount of power and handling on the gas and brake pedals. The speaker system that comes installed in the vehicle is pretty decent - not the best, but not the worst.

Lightning fast turbo 4 wheel drive juke.
I bought this car brand new and it has not had one issue at all. I love my sunroof and also the heated seats because I have back issues. It also helps to have the heated seats because I drive for Lyft and uber and it keeps me comfortable. The back up camera is amazing just as this car should is. I love that I get a choice of 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive. The turbo engine packs a real punch and I have to be careful as before I know it I am on the highway doing 80 to 85 however the ride is so smooth I do not realize until I look down that I am going that fast. This car is great on gas mileage which is a huge plus right now.

Sleek and edgy I love having a eco mode and a turbo boost with sunroof
My car is very reliable. I have not had any issues with it and gas is so economical. I love that it has an eco mode and a turbo boost with a sunroof and I can get anywhere without hesitation. Besides it having a sleek exterior the car is a smooth drive wherever I go. Definitely love to take this on long road trips.

It is very reliable and is easy to take care off and rarely breaks down.
It runs great. The turbo engine is great for the highest. So us the eco drive. The size is perfect. Not too big, not too small.

My second Nissan is the best one
I haven't had any problems. The vehicle is very reliable it starts right up in very cold weather. The seats are cloth but they are very comfortable. The backup camera is very helpful. The car has Bluetooth capability. I can play the music on my phone through the car stereo. The car has all wheel drive. The car has push button starts and I can use 2 wheel drive or all wheel drive as needed.

2016 Nissan juke sv review.
Lots of cheap materials for the interior. Had issues with trim falling off and electrical not working (windows, stereo, etc.) The adjustable 4 wheel drive is nice and there is a lot of room in the back if you put the seats down. Have not had any mechanical problems yet. Overall not a bad car but I would not purchase one again.

I like the camera to help when you back up.
I have a 2016 Nissan Juke. It was used when I got it with 31700 miles on it by 60,000 it had to have a new transmission. It's a very small car. I can barely get more Grandkids car seats in the back seat. When going shopping you can't do a lot because there's no room. Manufactures put the passenger side seat belt in wrong it's twisted and you can't get it out it has no cubby holes to set sunglasses ect. The one thing that I do like about it is it gets very good gas mileage.

Nissan juke is not meant for a family or just anyone that has kids.
It is too small for someone with kids because the backseat has absolutely no room. I have 3 kids and my fiance' and we have to cram into the car and it is very uncomfortable. On multiple occasions while at stop lights my car has just shut off and I will be stuck there until I put it in park press the button and it takes two or three times before the car to turn back on.

Cheap recalled parts and fast turbo delay.
I love the gas and mileage however the recall issues I've had to take it in 3 times now for repairs from recalls. The parts to replace are plastic and cheap causing the recalls. The turbo is fast but there's a delay 3 sec delay before it takes off anytime you hit the gas.

Early trouble with 2016
Like great car til now's review.. My 2016 Nissan Juke requires a new transmission. Thankfully it will be covered by warranty as it has less than 72,000km on it. I have taken very good care of this car- regular oil changes and tune ups. Immensely disappointed with transmission issue. This is my first Nissan and I am grateful the dealership will replace the transmission. However, I will think twice before I ever purchase another Nissan. Sad to say it.. As I loved the Juke completely until this very large issue. I bought this car December 2016 and have enjoyed this vehicle.. So much too soon to have a transmission replacement .No one wants this.

Get many compliments on the way it looks.
For me personally it is just a little too small. I love the way the car looks though and I get a lot of compliments on it. I call it my roller skate. But I went from a Nissan murano down to a hike and I didn't realize how spoiled I was with the amount of space I had. But I still like my car. And I will keep it. It is even good in the winter!

Good but not made for my lifestyle.
The vehicle is wonderful, but it is not meant for a car seat! I need space, it is struggle getting my child into his car seat every time! Maybe it is for people shorter than 5’7! If you have passengers your more like going to have scoot your seat up to give them some room.
accountCircle Emily R
A good thing to know would be Its compacted size.
The juke is a nice vehicle, there is nothing outright wrong about it. A few aspects that could be improved are Its shocks and size. It is a nicely compact, but it does not have much storage room or headspace. The other improvement could be Its shocks; it is a bumpy ride.

Transmission and manifold intake problems.
The transmission had to be replaced but was covered under warranty. The manifold intake also had to be fixed, but was covered under warranty. Besides those problems, I do like the car. It does not accelerate fast and I feel like the gas mileage is not the best.

Custom paint with a turbo engine, a real head turner.
My juke has custom paint, it is black with yellow trim, called stinger. It has a turbo engine that leaves car in the dust at a stop light. The interior is also black and yellow. When I drive down the road, people are always looking and pointing. It is a great little car.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Richard B.

Its variable all wheel drive system is really helpful. It is a smaller vehicle that Ford in tight spaces easily but still has an incredible amount of interior space. And the backup camera is a nice addition.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Richard B.

I did not enjoy the body style at first, however it has since grown on me. I do not like how I can see the tops of the headlights on the hood though. And I feel as if the blind spots are large, however manageable if you pay attention.
