2011 4dr SUV turbocharged 188hp 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
If there are leggy people in the front the room in the back goes to almost non-existant. The head room is limited for taller people as well. see full Nissan JUKE review
2011 4dr SUV turbocharged 188hp 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
The back seat is useless for adults. At 6' tall I couldn't sit in the back because my head would hit the roof. see full Nissan JUKE review
2011 4dr SUV turbocharged 188hp 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
The front seats are great for short trips, but found them rather hard and uncomfortable for longer trips. Not usually a problem as you have to stop every two hundred miles to fill it up again. see full Nissan JUKE review

The headrests are leaned too far forward, pushing my head forward. Could not get a comfortable seating position. I had a headache and my neck hurt after about 10 minutes. It was even worse in the passenger seat. see full Subaru Legacy review

Many passengers have complained about the lack of leg room in the front passenger well. see full Subaru Legacy review
