they are great little cars, just dont expect to fit people and stuff in the car at the same time. its one or the other

As an aside, the Juke is one of my favorite Nissan designs. I just wish it had the interior volume of the last-gen Versa, which was cavernous inside (14 cu ft more cargo space with the rear seat folded than the Juke).

I'd really like to replace my daily driven '08 Mazda3 GT with a Juke, but our first kiddo is on the way and fitting a child seat inside seems like a chore. My Mazda is disappointingly tight inside as it is.

Of course, I'd also like to be complaining about my MPG dropping from 30 to 25 in the winter! Although it's plenty peppy, my 2.3L goes from an average of about 25 to 22 MPG and also seems to be sensitive to E10.

My Daughter is looking at Jukes, but a couple of people I have talked to that own them are not impressed. I under stand the lack of size that is not the issue. They complained about the way it drives and its power being poor. What can you all tell me about the Juke? Those of you who own them that is.

My juke is quicker then my wifes 2002 bmw 330ci LOl. its not a Z but power is plenty for a car of its size. I have the awd cvt with nav. honestly its a great car. it is very confident in all weather conditions. the torque vectoring ( 2 wheel drive with ability to transfer power to a non slipping wheel) works welll, and the awd is great for winter conditions. if you dont have winter condtions id go with the front wheel drive version. mine have 26k miles on it now and not 1 mechanical or non mechanical issue has been had. like i said my only complaint, i need more space

Im picking up a Juke on Friday for the wife. A 2011 Juke SV turbo with AWD. Any suggestions on forums, information etc? My wife is a car junkie as well, so I doubt it will stay stock for long.
