Nothing at all yet. If I really had to nit pick - paint seems quite thin, scratches easily.

General Comments:

Having 70ish bhp and relatively tall gearing (presumably to aid fuel economy), acceleration is at best just about adequate to keep up with traffic etc. Once up to speed the car cruises well. Even on the motorway it's relatively refined and quiet. The car's nemesis is hills. Any sort of incline and it struggles noticeably. On the steep stuff you'll quickly find yourself crawling in first gear if you lose momentum or get stuck behind someone going unnecessary slow. For what it is it's a pleasant enough car to drive, and being small it's easy and fun to throw around and to park - the reversing camera makes this easier still.

Fuel economy is excellent. I mostly do a mixture of b roads and town driving and 60+ mpg is achievable with a gentle right foot. If you do a lot of motorway driving you should still get 50+ mpg.

Comfy to drive for extended periods. Not sure I'd want to spend much time as a rear passenger though. Boot's not very big as you'd probably guess. "Infotainment" is good, easy to connect your phone via Bluetooth etc. Speakers are good.

If you're considering one, it's worth bearing in mind that on slightly older cars, certainly up to 2016 or so, the road tax is free. On my car which is a 19 plate it's £165 a year.

Needed new clutch, and a new exhaust... but these are just consumables...

Astonishing Japanese built engine, and the design (this car is basically Japanese). Okay it's not the best on motorways... and is a bit tinny... BUT it is seriously economical, both tax and petrol, cost of running is low (it has a camchain you know). Easy to work on AND because of the great rear 'hatch' design - you can carry 3m length of pipe, wood etc etc. This car has worked out as a fantastic 'van'. Most hatches will not allow you to legally/safely carry 3m stuff, but this will.

My ONLY complaints are I think it needs a bit more comfortable seat for 5 hours sits and needs a bit more sound proofing... but is it getting old though.

Nothing - it's a loan car.

My Juke is in for service again and I got the latest 66 reg for a couple of days. I really don't recognise the car from the professional journalists views that seem to be coloured by too many trips in Jags or Lambos.

One litre, aircon, DAB radio, cruise, reversing camera, 50 MPG, electric windows up front, privacy glass to the rear, Bluetooth, and it goes well enough; I mean what do you want for the money???

I have found them comfortable and responsive - only issue I came across is it's difficult to get an Android phone to pair with the Bluetooth. A rather first world problem I am sure you'll agree.

Had the car 3 hours and the brake pedal seized on a steep hill and collided with another vehicle coming into the junction. The vehicle took over 50 metres to eventually stop. I don't know/think it is a problem with the model, but it was a problem with this particular vehicle we purchased.

General Comments:

Very pleasing to look at and comfortable (for all the time it was driven). Nippy and spacious.

Insurance is relatively cheap, and I think the car is OK on running costs, but cannot elaborate on that as only had it for a few hours.

General Comments:

Jut had one of these on loan - a new model, circa 5k miles. A lot of people on here use this sort of exposure to slag cars off - me, it's the opposite, I loved this car.

Small, gruff, willing engine, which gets smooth and quiet as you approach the legal limit - whizzes along at 80mph - "or so I was told by someone officer" LOL!! All at an indicated 50 MPG.

Equipment - very good - leccy windows - aircon - DAB radio + connectivity for iPods, memory sticks and the like. Clear dashboard, which was very easy to understand and use, and I.C.E. controls on the steering wheel.

Bit roly poly on the twisties, but hangs on gamely - seat backs lack support when giving it rice thru the bends, but hey ho, it's nicely trimmed. Boot's a bit small and the rear door windows only hinge open, not roll down, so could get a bit sweaty in the back, but there is enough room for a couple of adults.

To sum up it's a car that does exactly what you would think with aplomb. Frugal - seemed very well put together - well equipped - and I understand keenly priced and more keenly discounted by dealers. Lots of good reasons to put it on the shopping list if you are popping out to buy something like this - even the bright orange colour grew on me!!
