2011 Nissan Juke SV FWD M/T - Four Seasons Update - August 2012 - Automobile Magazine
After 365 days, our Four Seasons Nissan Juke has left the Automobile Magazine fleet. We put 22,659 miles on the little car, not bad for an urban runabout.

After 365 days, our Four Seasons Nissan Juke has left the Automobile Magazine fleet. In its wake, a couple of staff members shed a tear or two while a couple others exchanged high-fives, but there was no denying that our year-long test was a success: We put 22,659 miles on the little car, not bad for an urban runabout. We didn't take the sprightly Nissan on very many long trips, which had a lot to do with its back seats -- which aren't the most spacious or comfortable for extended periods -- not to mention the car's lack of a center armrest and its short fuel range. (It also didn't help that we had road-trip kings such as a Honda Odyssey, an Infiniti QX56, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and a Volvo S60 in our Four Seasons fleet at the same time.)
