What do you think of the Nissan Juke?

My wife and I, respectively 85 and 80, have been carried away by the Juke and have just put a deposit down for one without taking a test drive. In the clear light of day we wonder if we made the right decision - mainly made because my wife, being of smaller stature, wants to sit up high. We have being driving a Note for the last four years. As we understand, the Juke is a more sporty car with different type of driving. Have we made the right decision? We would appreciate a quick reply as we are going back to the dealer tomorrow.

Some Jukes are better than others. The 1.6DIG-Ts are all pretty good. The 1.5 diesel is okay. The ordinary 1.6 petrol manuals are a bit low geared for cruising distances on the motorway.
