Certainly not production type fabricating, lots of custom work to make it fit. I love it though, right up my alley...

It looks like a clown car... just awful! Sure one could argue mechanical potential but I just couldn't sleep at night knowing that foul looking putrescence was in my garage. I think I'm just stuck with the nice boxy square lines of the 80's.

It's looks are certainly polarizing. It's not too great on gas either, despite its 25/30 EPA rating. I barely got 20 MPG during my week with the Juke.

I am guessing it is a similar situation to when I had my '02 WRX new that was supposed to get @ 24 mpg. I couldn't keep my foot out of the turbo thus the real mileage was @15.Originally Posted by Warn Industries

I like it when a manufacturer does something different. So it's no surprise I love the Juke. It is a little small for my needs a too expensive. I test drove one and must say it is a lovely spirited drive. The interior is as funky as the exterior and some thecnical elements are radical also ... It is a hate it or love it !

Edmunds Inside Line blog editors had a Nissan Juke SL (the all wheel drive version) for a year. The Juke proved to be entertaining, particularly on dirt or gravel roads. The editors drove it like they stole it for 18,000 miles. Result: 22 mpg average, and 2 worn out tires. Their report is here

Bummer, I like the looks of it. I'd like to see one with a roof rack and 2 boats. Our 08 CRV get 25 mpg on average.

Really, I loved driving it, even thought it had the CVT. If you could get it with AWD and a manual transmission, I would consider selling body parts for one. Okay, maybe not, but it would be more desirable. Really fun, different ride.

Just so everyone is aware, the Juke platform is the same as what is used in the Versa. I got my wife a brand new Versa in 08 (thats what she wanted) and the car is a piece of junk. Drivetrain problems, fuel system problems, electrical problems, horrible rattles, and the suspension components are flimsy. I would highly recommend staying away from any vehicle based off of this platform.
