I love the style of JUKE. How do like it ? How does it perform ?
I love it. I love the style and it's very comfortable to me. This is my first 4 door car and the only reason I considered it is because it looks like a 2 door. It's also my first automatic because the AWD did not come in a manual transmission. Took it from MD to NC for 9 hours each way and no complaints. Very comfortable, high seating position, and feels big in a little easy to drive and maneuver car. A couple people in the Juke forum have reported totalling their Jukes in serious accidents and they have walked away without a scratch.
It's pretty quick (although never fast enough!!). I've never had a car that really moves like this and I love the turbo. The torque vectoring AWD really works well too. This is my first AWD, all my other cars were FWD and I really feel like the car moves differently. It has a switch to put it in FWD, AWD-V, or AWD. I leave it in AWD-V (vectoring) which cuts down a little on MPG but it makes curves very stable at high speeds
My main complaint was the factory navigation but I had that replaced. My second complaint was I didn't like my bald head on the leather headrest and I took care of that with the suede wraps. With the rear seats up, there is very little cargo space but with them down it's pretty decent.
If you're critical on MPG, I've gotten between 23ish and 29ish. I usually get on the low end because I don't make a lot of long highway trips and I don't drive to conserve gas. And, this car makes you want to drive to have fun.
This is the first time I changed cars because I really liked a car and I have no regrets.
