I like the Juke just fine. I don;t know anything about its handling and performance, but it that were up to speed for city driving I would not have the slightest issue having one of these over the hundreds of utterly derivative, cookie-cutter "sports" sedans and entry level vehicles in the same price range. Not a lot of affordable all wheel drive options out there, I might add. Yes, the styling is polarizing but man it sure does get a lot of bashing on this forum that sounds remarkably similar to the bashing the VX often gets from critics.
