  • Bionic Frog - 2011 Nissan Juke
    By -

    I purchased my Juke a few days ago and have been pleasantly suprised by this car. I have been wanting a Mini since they came out again but too many maintenance issues (Transmissions going out) and having to take it to a BMW dealership for service (1 1/2 hours away). The styling is love or hate but in my opinion very cool!! If you drive it right and keep premium fuel in the vehicle your will get good mileage (K&N air filter will help also). I am currently getting about 27 MPG just tooling around enjoying the car. Seating is good for my family and the interior is comfortable and fun.

  • 2011 Juke - 4 months later - 2011 Nissan Juke

    Now that I drove my Juke for almost 4 months, I wanted to share an updated review. I still like the car a lot - a lot of bang for the buck, no doubt about it (see favorite features). However, I dont know what Nissan was smoking when they averaged the car at 25-27 MPG - driving a mix of highway and city, and not pushing it, I get 20.4 MPG. Had a rattling noise from under the hood, which turned out to be a loose screw - dealer fixed it for free. I still belief the car is lacking some 30 or so horses. Hope aftermarket parts will be available sometime soon to address that (and maybe improve gas mileage in the process).

  • Update to Fun, Fun, Fun - 2011 Nissan Juke
    By -

    I have had my car for a few weeks now. First a correction, it only has 5 gears when you shift the CVT in NORMAL mode, not six. Second, I am getting better mileage than earlier. I am getting 23-25 mixed and I got 30+ with mostly highway. My guess is that you can get 30+ on a level highway easily. Still love it. Motor Trend ranked it as a finalist in SUV of the Year, but it lost out to a $70+k Porsche. The Porsche cant be this much fun.

    Got my Juke in January 2011. I must say, it got my where ever I needed to go, didnt break down, and it has ample space for what I need to transport (e.g. 8 cases of beer ;-)

  • Reliability So Far - 2011 Nissan Juke
    By -

    Had the Juke for a month so far. Traded in my Nissan Rogue. So far so good I am finded the seats to be a little firm and stiff. Has sufficient pickup and seems to do well on gas.

  • Does NOT give more than 27mpg - 2011 Nissan Juke
    By -

    This is a great compact car to drive but it is an expesive car to drive. Starting with : Takes Supreme GAS, although the dealers will tell you that it is optional. My driving is 90% hwy, always on the ECO setting, and i coast as much as i can to get the best milage that i can, which is 27mpg. I just took it in for the fuel recall now im getting 25mpg!!!!!!

  • Like the frog - 2011 Nissan Juke
    By -

    Although we wanted a SV model,we found none available without many add ons so we ended up with a Juke S FWD with a spoiler, which I think adds to the over-all look. We traded my wifes car, a Vibe, because she finds the frog look attractive. As most of our driving is in the city, we both like the quick ease this car offers as it zips into small parking spaces. The construction is solid, as is the ride, and we find the quiet interior enhances the sound system. The FWD gives us some extra space in the back, and while not a large as the Vibe, most of the time we do not need a larger storage space for our gym gear and groceries.

  • Best mix of hatchback and CUV - 2011 Nissan Juke
    By -

    Ive had my Juke for 7 months and just over 8000 miles now. I absolutely love how the car drives, Im averaging 27mpg, and I havent had any problems with it. It is small (like Honda Fit small), but I knew that the first time I got in, and a roof rack has solved all my space needs. Ive upgraded to 225/60R17 tires which gave it around 1" of lift, bringing the ground clearance to 8". It cant handle rocks like an Xterra, Jeep, or other body on frame SUV, but dirt and sand are no problem at all. I just wish the aftermarket would get behind the Juke, because Im betting a tune will do wonders for both power and efficiency... and it needs undercarriage protection.

  • Juke is no joke... - 2011 Nissan Juke
    By -

    This is a very well designed vehicle - peppy, solid, and fun! Does not feel as if you are driving a smallish vehicle - feels substantial. Steering is a bit numb - but I also have a Mini so that is probably not fair...and the premium stereo does not really sound premium, again compared to the Harmon Kardon in Mini. Well pleased overall - the goodies you can get on this ride for under $25, unreal!

  • Love It - 2011 Nissan Juke
    By -

    I have had my juke for 4 weeks now it is a blast to drive. The Turbo has very little lag and the car handles well. I am 66" tall and have no problem taking it on road trips. the gas mileage is closer to 20 MPG than 30 MPG. It is difficult to drive slow
