| (even though I really enjoyed ours, except for an inept dealership network back in MA). Nor am I trying to talk you into buying something you can't afford. However, looking at a used Murano for a comparison:
Autotrader ads for used 1st gen Muranos Compared to the Juke:
New Juke pricing IMHO, a used Mo could potentially be a better bargin vs. the deprciation hit you'll take with the Juke. As for fuel economy, I got decent performance with my Mo - about 24 to 25 mpg on average of about 50/50 city/highway driving. Styling of the Juke is quite subjective; I think the front end was designed by the former Pontiac Aztek stylist. It may be a look that will grow on me over time but my first reaction was feeling disappointment that they designed such an ugly front end. (I'm not enamored with the motorcycle inspired center console either - if I wanted a bike, I'd by one). The rear view of the car is probably the best view. I've got mixed feelings with the center controls (I-CON) that do double duty between HVAC and D-MODE. I think it's an incredibly great idea but then wonder how quickly it will get annoying having to switch modes back and forth to adjust one thing or the other. And for some reason, I think the nav head unit looks really cheap (I think it's the knobs and buttons). Having said all of that, it costs nothing to sit in one or take one for a test drive. Go check it out for yourself and see if it meets your needs. Good luck, Dave
