Should I buy the automatic Nissan Juke for motorway commuting?

I'm 24 and I'm looking to buy a new or secondhand car. A lot of my driving is on the motorway and do at least 10k miles a year. I'd like an automatic as it'll be easier in motorway traffic for me, and I was looking at getting a Nissan Juke. Do you know if it's a good car and will fit with what I need? Are there any other cars that are similar in size to the Juke? Thank you.

The old Nissan Juke is a funky looking car, but I wouldn't recommend buying one due to its ever-increasing list of automatic gearbox failures: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/nissan/juke-2010/good

The new Juke is highly rated, however, I'd struggle to choose it over the excellent Ford Puma: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/ford/puma-2020

Although I love my Nissan Qashqai my wife would prefer a slightly smaller SUV. The car must be an automatic and as comfortable as the Qashqai with similar performance. What do you recommend please?
Which five-year-old SUV has the most reliable automatic gearbox?
