WE SAID

“A CAR that remained so popular it stayed on sale for three years longer than is typical; owners love the original Juke’s looks and build quality. But practicali­ty gets the thumbs down, as does phone connectivi­ty.”

GOOD

“ONE of the most distinctiv­e cars on the road – it has its own unique character and really stands out. I love the looks.”

“Driver’s seat is very well padded and easily adjusted for a perfect, comfortabl­e fit.”

“Great customisat­ion options – granite paint contrasts with the wheels beautifull­y.”

“Overall interior finish is good and interior is well styled. I like the ambient lighting.”

“All-round visibility is great, and the reversing camera helps when parking.”

“The seats clean up well after my kids have made a mess.”

“The ride quality is good, even on 19-inch alloy wheels.”

NOT SO GOOD

“MY automatic Juke struggles to pull away at junctions, especially when running cold. The dealer said this is normal.”

“I don’t think there’s enough interior storage space. There are no useful cubbyholes.”

“Parking sensors are oversensit­ive – they bleep when they have dirt on them.”

“Unless the front seats are moved all the way forward, rear legroom is very poor.”

“Economy is poor and the fuel tank is small, so long journeys require frequent stops.”

“Difficult to connect phone to the Bluetooth system.”

“The boot is smaller than you would expect with an SUV.”
