Nissan Juke

Posted: 18 Oct 2012 10:46 AM PDT

Straddling the interesting divide between a tall subcompact hatchback and a very compact crossover, the Nissan Juke is a standout, in looks, performance, and value for its price. Overall, we gave the 2013 Nissan Juke a rating of 7. The small interior space and relatively weak gas mileage are less of a concern for those drivers more interested in...

Have you reshuffled your priorities in a family vehicle over the past few years? Most busy parents have, and those who might have opted for a full-fledged SUV a few years ago probably aren't quite as smitten over the idea of a musclebound off-road truck.
