Definitely agree on the fact it has aged well. The unusual styling - like it or loath it - still looks modern. They did something different with the Juke and though it gets a lot of hate from 'car people', Nissan were rewarded for their crazy design as they sold an absolute load of them. The ride could definitely be better but as you say it's a fairly refined car.

Absolutely, they took the polarising opinion route and it paid off. Thousands sold, perhaps not to enthusiasts as you state, but they judged the market right. It could be interesting the compare the original with the facelift, like the one you reviewed, in case they did in fact make some adjustments to the dynamics under the radar - as I hold to the fact this is the worst car I've driven dynamically, and that's against a Corolla, Volvo, CR-V and many more... MX-5 too of course, but that's superior to most in the dynamics department!

I’m test driving a 2014 1.5 diesel juke in white on Tuesday. I’ve heard a lot of stick about the diesel version though 😢 my options are the juke and a 2015 Vauxhall meriva. Any thoughts? I know to most people they’re such old cars now but I’m buying second hand within a budget.

The diesel has never had a shining reputation for reliability, although some people have a decent experience. Vauxhall doesn't either. I can't recommend the Nissan as my brakes also failed without warning. I've had no experience with the Meriva so can't comment, but would look at the Kia Sportage if within budget. The Nissan is also very impractical as the boot is very small and a weird shape. There's a lot of them on the road though and mine was 2011, but I personally can't recommend them.

Does this juke come with start stop, parking cameras and blind spot detectors? Mine a 1.2 tekna needs it with its limited visibility

All of those features are available on Nissan Jukes, but it depends on age, trim level and options.

You can adjust the internal lights on the speed dial etc so they are always bright

I think the Juke gets so much hate because of the CVT transmission. I love my 2014 but starting to get the CVT whine and it'll need to be replaced. About $5,000 USD for a new CVT...

Maybe. I'd say most people judge it on design alone. Trying to be fair, I put this aside to focus on the dynamics, of which I hated. From what I hear, people like the facelifted model onwards. I suspect they improved the dynamics. That's horrendous, that's how much my whole Juke cost! Nissan aren't the most reliable Japanese cars. I'd go for a Honda, Toyota or Mazda.

Ys that's right. Actually it's across all Nissan cars,. They use Jatco CVT transmissions that break down much faster then any other. They are so costly to replace too.
