We came away impressed with the Nissan Juke’s spunky nature, excellent turbocharged engine and unique packaging. Honestly, after a drive, the exterior begins to look endearing rather than some of the other adjectives we’ve heard used.

As ugly as it is, the Nissan Juke is no joke. It’s one of the fastest, best-handling, best-equipped small cars available in the U.S. market.

I found much to recommend when it came to our Juke SV Sport Cross. It was fun to drive and had a comfortable ride and unique styling.

The 2011 Nissan Juke blends the ride height and looks of a crossover with the soul and sensibility of a hot little hatchback, making for a truly fun-to-drive machine.

The Juke is a small pseudo-crossover with extroverted styling, satisfying power, and competent handling at a relatively low price is territory that hasn’t been explored yet. We see a compelling combination.

It might not be love at first sight, but a drive in the 2012 Nissan Juke will have you seeing the inner beauty of this feisty hatchback.

The 2012 Juke is a bit of an aberration in Nissan’s lineup, offering some really cool features not seen in other models. As much as I like the handling and performance, the cabin electronics are a real letdown.

The 2011 Nissan Juke’s styling is defiantly head-wraparound-proof. It’s funky. It’s ugly. It’s funkly. Those flamboyant visuals aren’t all bluster — the Juke delivers a fun-to-drive exponent beyond its plebeian roots.

The all-new 2011 Nissan Juke is as fun to drive as any other small, sporty car in the market. I wasn’t prepared to like this five-passenger crossover as much as I did.

The Juke is fun, it’s clever, it’s roomy for a small car, it’s not nearly as slow as we expected, and it feels more expensive than it is.

My lists of likes for the Nissan Juke— good size, excellent visibility, innovative interior, plucky engine, high fun-to-drive factor —I even like the styling. Aren’t you tired of cars that look so much alike?
