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
