The Mini Countryman has a more usable shape, offers better fuel economy and a more premium feel, but is much more expensive. The Jeep Patriot offers real off-road capability but has a cheap interior and less power. The Jeep Compass also has more off-road ability and equipment than a base Juke but is underpowered and cheap feeling. The Subaru XV Crosstrek comes standard with all-wheel drive and is more spacious but is less fun and more expensive.

The Juke occupies an interesting niche in the market for people who want something more distinctive than a compact sedan or hatchback, but don't want the size or expense of even a small crossover. What's more, it has a perky turbocharged engine, looks that won't get lost in a crowd and a generous list of equipment that includes some relatively high-tech features. It may not have much off-road prowess or loads of interior room, but if the Juke is flexible enough for you, it's worth a look.
