Cube
Ya the Nissan Cube.. We currently have a POS Jeep Cherokee with no AC and wierd electrical issues.. getting tired of daily driving that thing in/out of downtown Chicago everyday..
We saw one on the road the other day.. since then the wife and I have been thinking of getting rid of the Jeep and getting the Cube as our daily.. Anyone here have one? If so I'd love to hear some opinions on it..

I test drove the cube and all I can say is that you shouldn't get it, try getting a Rogue or Murano because those two have better ride quality and it is better for a daily driver.

lol ya it is kinda square.. but i've always like the look of the XB's for some reason.. but would prefer to stay in the Nissan family..
I had a Murano the first year it came out.. I don't really need anything that big.

Also I remember reading a review that someone wrote about there is a big difference between the 1.8S and 1.8SL as far as ride quality.. do you remember which one you test drove?

This is i think your best bet for what you are looking for and it is pretty fun to drive and has a lot of room

actually the honda Fit has more usable room inside. i know cause ive been in the new pikachu character looking Mazspeed3 and the rear seating area was considerably smaller than my Fit or the new xB's actually. id be a pita if you have child seats/boosters in the back.
i think for dd the Fit does well, but definitely get the MT version. i have both MT and AT and the AT is frikken boring to drive. |

Sorry, couldn't resist. On topic, tho, I've heard that Cubes are pretty nice for cartin' around in. Good mileage, relatively spacious. |

Actually, you should hear the intake.. it really makes the Cube sound mean. And goes.. well.. a little bit faster.. it's no rocketship.. |

I couldn't resist, but in all honesty this would be the only way I'd get something relatively economical. |
