Nissan Juke bridges generation gap

Nissan Juke has been named as the car with the most universal appeal across all ages.

This is according to new analysis of more than 10,000 used car sales over the past two years, carried out by the online motor retail specialist BuyaCar.co.uk.

The 10 most popular purchases by younger, middle-aged and older drivers were identified and the Nissan Juke uniquely appears in the top 10 cars for every age band of motorists – even more reliably than eternal favourites like the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Volkswagen Golf.

The Juke ranked fifth or sixth favourite choice for people up to the age of 34, from 35 to 44 year olds, those aged 45 to 54, 55 to 64 year olds and for the over 65s.

Other models also demonstrate evergreen appeal, but none make it into the top 10 for every age group of BuyaCar.co.uk customers.

Austin Collins, managing director of BuyaCar.co.uk, said, ‘When you talk to people about the Nissan Juke it’s quirky appearance seems to attract as much scepticism as enthusiasm, but the sales figures don’t lie. Although we were surprised to find the car that most appeals to the very broad range of online car buyers is the Juke, rather than more conventional cars like the Ford Focus or Fiesta, to rank fifth or sixth in every segment of customer ages is a real testament to its appeal.’
