2013 Nissan Juke consumer reviews

I am a new Nissan Juke owner but I've admired them from afar since they came out! Previously I owned a Buick Rendevous in Miami, fl. Then a 2009 hummer H3 in Oregon for a year. When I returned to Fl I knew the H3 was more than I needed here and once again looked into the Juke. I couldn't be happier! The performance rocks! A 2013 Juke SL with all the extras. I bought it used with 10,000 miles. Leather interior, navigation, XM radio, mp3 and mom and I went to the flea market and got almost everything in it except a dining room table and chairs! Perfect vehicle for Coastal Florida! Beach chairs fit nicely in the back! Hope you try one out for yourself!

We originally sought to buy a used Nissan Juke because we both liked the styling and my wife wanted to replace her 2008 Ford Explorer which was getting a whopping 16 mpg combined. What we discovered was the we could get a new Juke for only a bit more than a used and decided to get a new one with all the options she wanted a few extra. Required for her was dark red, Nav and backup camera (comes with the Nav) - bonus features - moonroof, spoiler and Upgraded sound system. The car is very fun to drive - there are several settings for drive style (which to my observations just seem to adjust the gear ratio up or down - Sporty/ Normal / Eco). The steering and ride are very nice and tight w/o letting you feel every single pebble on the ground. The turbo spins up pretty quick on the 2 settings and is delayed on Eco - which makes for a slight learning curve on the accelorator unless you want to be speeding quickly. She really enjoys it to and the reasons she got it - Fun look, not too small and good gas milage - are all worth it! We're still looking for the optimal gas settings - book says 91 octane, but most around here sell 89 or 93, but so far we are getting mixed use on eco 27-28 on 89 octane so we arent over paying for the most expensive gas. We're 6'4 & 6' respectively and we actually fit - but I still had to take a bit off on comfort as its pretty snug. And the back seat with us in the front - more for kids - adults can fit, but you wouldnt want to be back there for a long trip or anything - short trips have been just fine and its nice that the people in the back are close - its more intimate. If you like the sporty style, the drive of a Nissan and something fun and economical to drive - this is your new compact SUV. Reliability - we've owned this for less than a month - please ignore this rating.

This car was full of surprises. I chose the SV Nismo model because of its exterior package and automatic AWD.

I fell in love with the look and feel of this vehicle the moment I took it for my first test drive! It handles so well and easy. Plus I loved that it had the turbocharged engine while still having the great gas mileage! I just love driving it around.

I recently purchased the 2013 Juke S model AWD. I love it!!!! It handles very well, the turbo engine has quite a kick, it is very fun to drive, and definitely turns some heads. I was immediately attracted to this car the first time I saw it on the road back in 2011 and knew I had to have it when it was time for a new one. I traded in a 2008 Hyundai Accent which got about 33 MPG highway for the Juke which gets about 30 MPG highway. Not much a noticable change and a similar size gas tank. Although it takes premium gas, you can get away with using the mid-grade 89 octane and it won't affect performance. This car probably has the best gas mileage of any SUV/Crossover AWD vehicle on the market. I love the option to switch from FWD to AWD when needed to full time AWD. The gas tank is on the right which is nice, I don't have to wait for a pump since most are on the left. The seats are comfortable and the radio is nice. Love the Bluetooth integration and the automatic driver's side power window. My biggest complaint: No armrest. I would absolutely recommend this car to someone who wants something different and sporty, yet sensible and affordable. Love it!!!!!!

This is the first time I have had a experience purchasing a new car. The people where great and honest. I just wanted to test drive the Juke,but instead I went home with one. My payments are low enough that I will have no problem payingthe vvehicle off early. I love my car.

I love this crossover. I have the SV model trim in this year and I love the handling, acceleration and mpg this car gives me. I also love the chassis , it feels nimble and easy to drive. Turbo is awesome in this car. Only thing that you trade off with this car is the room, its not very roomy but its very snug and comfortable. The cabin is real easy to cool off or heat up inside due to the overall great build and design inside. It looks different on the outside but in a good way. Interior design is very sporty but comfortable. The looks of this car and the way it drives definitely go together. I love NISSAN designs in general plus the way they drive are excellent. Id recommend this to anyone wants something sporty but wants good mpg and looks that make people's heads turn. I already got 5 compliments on this car on how nice it looked and I barely bought it from Nissan 2 weeks ago. Over all good choice :)

It is possible to love a car because I adore this one! It in no way resembles anything else out on the roads, due to its unique & sporty design! The interior options are sweet too, with the integrated Bluetooth system & 6-way adjustable driver seat controls + iPod/Mp3 connections. I am told that even more loaded versions also have several driving modes, which affect performance & gas mileage in addition to heated leather seats. Though it requires PREMIUM fuel, the fuel economy is notable & this vehicle has a lot of pep/power, due to its Turbocharged Engine. The drivers dash also displays how many miles you have remaining until you run out of fuel which is very useful. Despite minimal rear seat leg & headroom, & limited trunk space, I am so happy I went with this car. My salesperson even said this was the car Nissan got right! He told me the mechanics in the service department "oh" & "ah" when they talk about the features on this model. I feel excited driving it & love that my driver's seat hoists me up higher, so that I feel above the road. The 17" alloy wheels give the car a solid handle on the road, which makes this car feel extremely stable. The rear trunk light is too small though, & the only other light is over the dash instead of in the middle of the roof, which makes for poor visibility in the night time. The interior design pops however, due to a fiberglass middle console, which is attractive & sleek looking. Even the interior door handles are modern & stylish. The integrated Bluetooth feature has been a lifesaver & much needed safety feature I use daily. This is my most favorite car that I have ever owned for the reasons I mentioned. Regardless of its deficits, the pros definitely overshadow the cons in the 2013 Nissan Juke!

Received this car as a rental for two months. I have driven everything from Sports Cars to Trabants to Army Tanks. This is the worst thing I have ever driven in 30 years. Not even worth the review. It should be taken off of the market completely or at least out of the Rental Car company's fleet.

I recently bought my 2013 AWD Juke SV. I will begin with my issues with it and then why, regardless of these things I LOVE IT! - I have a very long commute (100 miles a day), although the car is great on gas the gas tank is VERY small. I have to get gas every other day which is a big pain in the butt. From empty I fit about 11 gallons. Though if I drive in town I barely use half a tank in a week. - Interior lighting is very minimal, especially in the trunk. The light is in the lower region - behind the break light, so if you have anything in the trunk it blocks the light. There seems to be room for an additional light on the top of the trunk but no light. - My newest and most serious concern which I now read is common with many different model cars is the stupid head restraint! It is so far forward that I have some pretty serious pain in the back of my neck. I understand this is put in place to stop whiplash but if I am getting chronic pain in the neck due to its angle anyway then what is the point? (This is even worse if you have a ponytail as it adds an additional inch or two to the forward head position.) Currently I have laid the seat back so I now have less back support which sucks because the seats are super comfortable otherwise. - Again another issue common in many cars is the tire pressure light. Again, if it is so unreliable that we never pay attention to it then how is it a safety feature? Now for why I love my car: - It looks super sharp, both inside and out. - the turbo charge makes it extremely peppy, and definitely fun to drive - It handles very well and feels like it has a broad base , making you feel very safe. - The stereo rocks - Though it is small, it still fits a fair amount of things, and the back seat is a lot bigger than anticipated. A good deal of leg room which is surprising for something so small. - The AWD is great in it and I love that I can go from FWD to partial AWD to AWD with a click of a button. Overall it is a great car, and my two biggest complaints are items that are in place to fit regulations that really do not make sense, and are common with many newer model cars.
