Great car for our grand-daughter!

This car looks and runs great. It seems like it will be a very dependable vehicle for our grand-daughter. It should be very economical for her to drive.

2012 Juke

I currently own this car, but need to sell it. Only because it is too small for my wife. She needs more trunk space.

2012 Juke SV 6 Speed M/T @74,000 Miles

I wouldn't say I regret buying my Juke but given the chance I would have chosen something else. What sold me was all the included features such as turbo-engine, push to start, keyless entry/operation (arguably my favorite), moonroof, fuel economy (I get 24-26 mpg city and 31+ highway on average). I really do enjoy driving the manual version of this car and it's easy to park anywhere. It handles well in most conditions, fwd isn't the best for wet roads, and it really hits it's stride around 3500 rpms. The factory tires are terrible but after replacing them with quality tires the car feels much better. That being said I've had some major issues with my juke over the years. The fuel injectors are sensitive and even with premium gas can become damaged. I had to have mine replaced around 30,000 miles, I was told it was due to gas contamination *allegedly*. The gas tank is TINY, be ready to fill up frequently. There was a timing belt recall, which was fixed before it failed. Recently the transmission had to be replaced due to factory defect/failure (thankfully under warranty). This also caused my clutch to burn out which was not covered under warranty. The juke has many parts that are specific to the car, in my case the clutch which was no less than $450+ in just parts. Problems aside, the cost of general maintenance is very reasonable since there aren't as many routine items thanks, to tech upgrades like electric power steering which doesn't require fluid changes.

My Dream Car

I loved the look and wanted one since they came out. I love the car and would buy another one, only complaint is I would like to see power seats and more interior lights.
