  Yup- LA traffic and I bought a manual! - 2011 Nissan Juke
  By reviewer09 - September 2 - 11:37 pm

  I spent months researching cars- some of the reviews on the Juke were plain scary- poor gas mileage, hate the interior, not comfortable, etc. Ive had 2 Pathfinders (with all the bells and whistles) and cant do the gas anymore. Have only the Juke for 2 weeks, but have put 1K miles already- too fun! Love the 6 speed, love the handling, love this car!! For all of the complainers, did you not see the styling? The (sparkly!) plastic on the inside (easier to clean- I have a boy!!)? Oh, and I also average 29.7 mpg. My "complaint"- wish the gas tank was a bit bigger! I put a 3 for reliability because, well, I havent had it for 5+ years, so I dont know but I hope its like my Pathfinders. Love it

  Great car with big appetite - 2011 Nissan Juke
  By markuslycus - September 21 - 2:18 pm

  Like everything about the car but the fuel economy. I do almost all 95% HWY driving on 90% flat roads, and have driven 1500 mi. I average 26.80 mpg. My driving is done on all 4 lane roads, while driving 55-65 MPH. I always drive with fuel conservation top priority. I was expecting to get at least 35 mpg, not 26.80mpg.

  Okay, but Ill never own another one - 2011 Nissan Juke
  By cobraboy1 - June 28 - 9:08 am

  I bought this car to get me something with good gas mileage that was different with all wheel drive and standard bluetooth. And a sub compact size with a good fun-to-drive ratio. And it had to have a sticker of under 22k Overall its an okay vehicle, but Ive been talking to people (nissan techs - to remain nameless) whove all said to trade it in after the warranty is up. That is enough for me to say I wont own another one again, but overall its not terrible. The major complaints are three: 1. MPG is not what was promised 2. Gas tank is only about 11 gallons 3. Although you dont have to run 93 octane your really should to get the best mpgs

  Jukin - 2011 Nissan Juke
  By tejaskinder - April 9 - 10:01 pm

  Purchased in October 2010. To date no issues with any mechanical systems. Rear window stopped working but self-healed. Average 25 mpgs almost all the time. Easy to park. Enough room for really only two adults in front and small ones in the back........Im 62" and have plenty of leg and head room, but would crush another adult behind me.....Not bad pricing for an AWD vechile with decent gas milage....

  Yes it really does get bad mileage - 2011 Nissan Juke
  By bert_home - September 1 - 4:04 am

  From reading the forums and having personal experience, some Jukes get really bad mileage. Im looking at about 18mpg around town in FWD mode. It does really well on the freeway (27+). Its NOT the driving habits, tires, AC or any of the other usual suspects that cause poor mileage. The Nissan dealers dont know how to address the problem. The recent fuel leak fix does NOT fix the problem and may have made it worse or my car. The car is a blast to drive though but 18 mpg is very hard to live with.

  Know what you are buying. - 2011 Nissan Juke
  By tomcat20 - August 7 - 1:41 pm

  I bought this car for my wife. She hates car buying and leaves that decision to me. Now, that doesnt get me off the hook; if I bought her a lemon, Id surely pay. After reading all the various comments regarding space, lighting, arm rest and storage I wonder if those people actual sat or drove the car before buying it. Fuel economy is good...yes good but only if you drive in 2wd on ECO mode. But with just under 180hp, youre likely to want to go fast. Remember fast = more gas. I wasnt impressed with the interior and the dash is rather basic. The ride is tight and the CVT struggles. But thats it. The car is a joy to drive. Once you get use to the CVT, it can be a lot of fun.

  Whipper Snapper of a car! - 2011 Nissan Juke
  By kpofsobos - October 6 - 9:37 pm

  I traded in my 2007 Rav4 Sport in early September for the Juke. I live in the city, and needed a smaller car to increase the likelihood of finding street parking. I chose this vehicle because it was a crossover, had AWD, and was small. Ive tried unleaded, mid, and now Im on premium gas. My consensus: the better the gas the better the MPG. Maybe its mental, but I feel like the car rides better/smoother with premium as well. Seats are comfortable, interior feels really spacious, and I dont feel as though the backseat is too tight or that head room is a problem. When I jump on the highway I just zoom along and when I look down a few seconds later- BOOM! Im going 80 mph. No armrest=bummer.

  So Far So Good - 2011 Nissan Juke
  By afellows - August 29 - 10:10 am

  I have loved every minute behind the wheel of my Juke unless the driver in front of me is driving ten under the speed limit. I have never had a problem with the car, though Im still under the 40k mile mark. Ive put in some long trips with it and have managed about 34mpg on those trips. I average 23-25 mpg in the city. The AWD has gotten me out of some slippery situations. I enjoy the stiffer suspention and the cornering. Overall, probably my favorite of the cars Ive owned.

  Good Bionic frog 2011 - 2011 Nissan Juke
  By noshoesinhouse - February 13 - 11:12 pm

  bought mine new in 4/2011 and truth is i thank god havent had any problems. Im sorry to hear about the people who are having problems with the chain. i just got called last week from the dealer to take it in to have the chain replace which after reading the reviews i will do ASAP. i do however hate that it goes thru gas like crazy im looking into buying a more gas efficient car but to be honest there is nothing out there that i like or that would make me trade my Bionic frog.

  2011 Juke - 2011 Nissan Juke
  By michelle65 - November 6 - 12:41 am

  I waited about 5 months to write this review based on the fact that the nostalgia of a new car can sometimes override the cold hard facts that come after that nostalgia wears off. I purchased my Juke after hurricane Irene totaled my Mazda 3 in flood waters. I was drawn to the unique styling and its AWD feature. I do truly still enjoy my Juke and I love the way it handles and its sporty little get up and go attitude.
