"I recently bought my 2013 AWD Juke SV. I will begin with my issues with it and then why, regardless of these things I LOVE IT! - I have a very long commute (100 miles a day), although the car is great on gas the gas tank is VERY small. I have to get gas every other day which is a big pain in the butt. From empty I fit about 11 gallons. Though if I drive in town I barely use half a tank in a week. - Interior lighting is very minimal, especially in the trunk. The light is in the lower region - behind the break light, so if you have anything in the trunk it blocks the light. There seems to be room for an additional light on the top of the trunk but no light. - My newest and most serious concern which I now read is common with many different model cars is the stupid head restraint! It is so far forward that I have some pretty serious pain in the back of my neck. I understand this is put in place to stop whiplash but if I am getting chronic pain in the neck due to its angle anyway then what is the point? (This is even worse if you have a ponytail as it adds an additional inch or two to the forward head position.) Currently I have laid the seat back so I now have less back support which sucks because the seats are super comfortable otherwise. - Again another issue common in many cars is the tire pressure light. Again, if it is so unreliable that we never pay attention to it then how is it a safety feature? Now for why I love my car: - It looks super sharp, both inside and out. - the turbo charge makes it extremely peppy, and definitely fun to drive - It handles very well and feels like it has a broad base , making you feel very safe. - The stereo rocks - Though it is small, it still fits a fair amount of things, and the back seat is a lot bigger than anticipated. A good deal of leg room which is surprising for something so small. - The AWD is great in it and I love that I can go from FWD to partial AWD to AWD with a click of a button. Overall it is a great car, and my two biggest complaints are items that are in place to fit regulations that really do not make sense, and are common with many newer model cars."

"I have never owned a Nissan, so I was open to giving them a try. And you know what? I was pleasantly surprised. The 2013 Juke was just what I was looking for: a Crossover with great gas mileage, a different look, fun to drive and dependable. These are the pros, and if I had to come up with any cons I would really be nit-picking at best. The cons I could think of are: the ignition button is rather hidden behind the steering wheel, the center armrest could be made to slide backward to allow a tall beverage to sit in the 2nd cupholder, the MPH graduations could include the 5MPH increments. So that's it! I just love my 2013 Juke and I love showing it off."

"Ride is a little rough, more noticable as a passenger & less noticable when driving. Other than that, it's really fun to drive & a great car so far! As it's a new car for Nissan, I think they'll keep adding features you won't have to pay extra for - currently the armrest you have to add (pay for as an upgrade), this should be included in all. Reviews stated the view out the back (rearview mirror) is very limited due to the sloping roof, it's not really that bad so don't let that be a deciding factor. I wish the Nissan handbook had more info on the different drive systems (FWD, AWD-V, & AWD). They don't really go into detail on the difference between the 2 AWD choices so not sure which is better for snow/ice."

"Coming from the Nissan Xterra 4X4, its a bit of a downgrade for me in a sense. But it is a balance, I wasn't using all of the features of a full sized SUV and I was just burning gas. I found the Juke to be a perfect blend of 'feeling' like an SUV, small size of a car, sporty power, and way better fuel efficiency than my 4X4. I wouldn't recommend it to every one, but for a single person like me, does a lot of city travel, and wants to be set apart from the rest, its perfect. I would recommend getting the SV or SL package. AWD if you really must have it, from what I heard it does not make much difference in its intended purpose."

"I am madly in love w/this car!!! It is so sporty and so me!!! The moment I saw someone drive it in Malibu, I knew that was the car for me. I got lucky, and purchased it from a Producer who needed it for a movie shoot, and it only had 500 miles!!"

"I bought this Juke brand new and like it so much. It is such a good looking car and nice sporty design. Nissan always have good taste of design their cars. A dream come true after I found this Juke. My wife also got one in different color. We both enjoy driving around and it really stand out on the road. Who ever in process of buy a new car should go and check the Juke. It give a good gas MPG and powerful for its class. Nissan has quality."

"2013 Nissan juke knocked my expectations out of the park. Its small car handling and agility on the road makes it a pleasant daily driver. The Nissan juke has 3 modes the vehicle can be driven in Eco,Sport and Normal. Each of these modes make adjustments to the vehicle that affect the way the juke drives and really lets you feel a sort of "personality" the juke has depending on what mode you have it set in. I would Highly recommend this vehicle for someone looking for a small SUV with great gas milage."

"Some say that the car looks like a frog due to the front light assembilies. A more common name for those lights are alligator eyes. . Having owned the car for roughly a month, I am very pleased with the vehicle. I have roughly 1500 miles currently. . I was moving from an Audi TT looking at fuel efficient four door vehicles, actually concentrating on the hybrids when I saw the Juke. . Knowing that the style is unique, it attracted me. It has a quiet comfortable ride, and I am averaging 28 MPG with a city/highway blend driving in Dallas traffic during the rush hour commutes. Others have stated that their mileage was less, but I attribute that to a heavier foot. When you kick it, it will take off and run, but at a cost. . I can comfortably sit four adults, and still have adequate storarage, and have had two full size dogs laying down in the back with no issues. . I love the sound system, climate control and navigation system. It has nice creature comforts such as back up camera, sub woofer, keyless ignition, etc and none have presented any problems. . Overall, I am very happy with the vehicle, and would buy it again. For the price, size, features and an appearance that I really liked, it was perfect for me. I would encourage any potential buyers to read one of the juke forums on line for additional insight,"
