Reasons I HATE the Nissan Juke

20 Feb 2016

Before I start, I’ll just say that the following post is just my personal point of view and opinion of the Nissan Juke. Some people think that this is a cool car and everyone is entitled to their own opinions, so here’s mine.

The Nissan Juke is a bit like Marmite - You either love it or you hate it. I fall into the second category of people and here are my reasons why:

1.) It’s ugly - It looks a bit like an insect with those lights.
2.) It started a new craze, the Compact SUV. Due to the Juke’s success and popularity, all of the other car manufacturers have jumped on the band wagon meaning that the Juke now has many rivals: Renault Captur, Kia Soul, Mazda CX-3, Ford EcoSport, Vauxhall Mokka to name a few.
3.) The Juke Nismo and Juke R are ridiculous. You could buy a decent sports car like the Toyota GT-86 for similar money to the Juke Nismo.

What do you think about the Juke? Let me know in the comments.

I 100% agree with you

Thank you :-)

100000000% Agree!!!

Thanks :-)

Im kind of in the middle. Yes its ugly, but its practical and gets good milage.

Completely agree. Its a hateful looking car. The stupid headlights are terrible and the rear looks like it wants to shoot itself!

Thank you :-)

Eh my dad’s girlfriend drive’s one I only like it because it has a turbo but the interior is cramped and theirs little trunk space

Personally I like the looks

I like the juke, but I just don’t understand why they made the nismo and nismo r

I hate everything about its looks. And I feel sorry for people how owns one.

To be honest, I’m not a fan of the juke, but I’m no hater, either. To me, it’s a bit of an odd car that stands out from everything else. On the Nismo and R versions, I think Nissan simply wanted to build something and say “Why Not?” To it. They could have built another crossover and left it there, but no, they made the juke, a funky looking compact with the personality of both a crazy cat lady and a shorter soccer mom. I’ve driven a juke before, and in my opinion, it corners really well for its proportions, and a super powered version may just be the wrench in the gears for everyone else at the track.
