2011 Nissan Juke consumer reviews

When my lease was up with Ford- I needed a new Cross over SUV- and I went looking for another vehicle. I test drove the JUKE and loved it! I was surprised to find that the JUKE out-performed The Ford Escape I had been driving for 3 years. I get Z-plan pricing due to my dad retiring from Ford-(below dealer cost) but the JUKE outperformed the Escape and still came out $4,000 below my dealer discount! It was a win/win situation!

I bought my Nissan Juke SL about three months ago. All I have to say is that I love it!! Right before I bought mine, I was at the lexus dealership about to buy a new IS250. Well the economic side of my brain kicked in, and I walked away. I had been wanting a SUV again for a few years, but my condo has a smaller garage. Then I discoverd the JUKE. It is like a sedan met a SUV. Perfect!!!! I have owned a couple nissan's prior to this, but the JUKE by far is my favorite. Granted I did get the fully loaded one. Navigation, back up camera, heated leather seats, spoiler, illumination package, and chrome package. After adding all that, it was still much less then the IS250 I was going to buy and had more options. I was shocked at how well they are priced. The car is sporty, and Nissan did not fool around with the turbo engine. When you want to fly or need power, it is right there at a push of button. If you are looking for a smaller SUV and still want to turn some heads, the JUKE is the car for you. I have had more people stop me in parking lots, stoplights, and other places asking if they can see the inside. I did have to wait a few days to get mine, because one had to be located with all the options I wanted in the color I wanted, but WELL worth the wait!!

I love this Juke! It is unique, sporty, fast, affordable and has a nice solid feel. I love all of the higher end options while still maintaining a reasonable price. When I show it off to friends and all of the great creature comforts it has such as heated leather seats, nav system, bluetooth, XM radio complete with a turbo, they always guess it as having a much higher price tag, The size is just perfect for me. I have always owned sports cars but longed for a little more room for passengers and cargo, the Juke is a bullseye! Great gas mileage as well.

I recently traded my 2004 Jeep Liberty in for a silver SV AWD Juke. After 500 miles or so, initial impressions are that the Juke is fun to drive, very capable on icy roads and seems bigger on the inside than it actually is. The ride is smooth for a small car and road noise is minimal. I seem to be averaging 24 mpg right now while using AWD-V most of the time. Favorite Features: (1) Bluetooth - The voice recognition seems to work well. (2) Auto Climate - Set temperature and forget about it. (3) AWD - Have mainly used AWD-V - worked well on recent icy roads. Will probably test FWD mode to see if mpg increases. (4) I-CON interface - Fun to use and less buttons crowding up the dash. I did have to turn the button illumination all the way up so I could see them in sunny conditions. (5) Intelligent key - Still getting use to but nice to just walk up to car, press button on door handle and open door. Works with trunk door as well. Areas not as expected or could see improvement: (1) Arm rest - an arm rest would be nice for longer trips. (2) Front driver seat - One of the levers on left side of seat makes the seat go higher but it seems to be more of the back part than the whole seat which results in less thigh support than I am use to. (3) Brakes - seem fine but not as strong as previous vehicles I have had. (4) Misc. - I have noticed a small rattle on the front passenger side. Still trying to figure out what is causing it. Generally, wouldn't expect to hear any rattles in a car that is only a few weeks off the lot.

I really like this SUV and wanted to buy one but NO arm rest or console? You got to be kidding me Nisson !! Pros - Most everything Cons - No Arm rest

I LOVE MY JUKE!! I live in Louisiana and the Juke SL was very, very hard to find. It took me three weeks to finally get one. I drove 272 miles to purchase my 2011 Cayenne red SL Juke. The exterior is superbly designed and attracts ALOT of attention. The interior is awesome ,very comfortable and roomy. The cabin features navigation, xm radio, usb, rearview camera and much more. Driving it gives me so much pleasure, it is fast and handles itself expertly.The turbo engine gives this 46 year old a youthful glow. There is nothing else I can think of that needs to be added to the Juke. Nissan you have got a winner and a customer for life.

Awesome handling..Great pricing and financing.lots of options has a lot of pep for a little mini lol..

Pros: Performance and PRICE! SL AWD for $25k! Altitude has NO effect on the turbo motor with the CVT! The leather is better than most vehicles costing ten grand more. Easy to use controls. Cons: No center arm rest, windshield wipers suck, no roof rack, and needs a light in the rear storage areas. Overall: NOTHING can compete with the Juke for $25,000! MiniClubman is over $30k, the VW Tiguan is over $35k.

I've had my 2011 Juke SV for a week, and I love it. I've owned many different cars throughout the years, and this is definitely one of my favorites. The exterior styling in very unique and stands apart from other automobiles. It is tiny, yet surprisingly roomy inside. The gas mileage is good, and the car is ZIPPY! (Especially in sport mode!) The engine is quiet, it runs smooth, and it handles great! The suspension is comfortable, but still offers ample "feedback". My SV has a 6-speed and I'm very pleased with how easy/smooth it shifts. It is an overall GREAT vehicle and I'm very glad that I purchased it. I like sports cars, but they usually have a few drawbacks--persnickity shifting, high maintenance costs, loss of visibility due to styling/sitting low to the ground, very limited cargo capacity. This little SUV satisfies my sportscar craving with it's funky styling, 6-speed with sport mode, and it's superb handling while also offering me room to buy LOTS of groceries, and better visibility while sitting higher off the ground. In my opinion you can't go wrong with this vehicle. The ONLY thing I would change is to make the front cockpit a little more "snug". The very open design takes away from the "sportscar" feel but doesn't do anything to really dampen my opinion...I still love the Juke!

I test drove the Juke the first week in December, couldn't get it off my mind. Returned to the dealer on December 28th and bought it home with me. I love the way it handles, great gas mileage. It's also a head turner, the look is so different. The sound system is amazing. It took me three weeks to make a decision, and what a good one it was.
