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..

:icon08:

It looks right at home in Bikini Bottom.

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?

Cube's are nice. Face reminds me of the 300zx!

It was the Krom edition, with the spoiler

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


MazdaUSA - Wireless Tour

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.

We make some parts for Cube's too! :D

lol, Josh, they're just so cute. It's like one day they're gonna grow up and be mounted on a "weal wace caw". :bowrofl:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

On topic, tho, I've heard that Cubes are pretty nice for cartin' around in. Good mileage, relatively spacious.

little parts for a little car!

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

i kind of like the Juke better in a weird way

:iagree:

Or a Honda Fit, maybe a Scion XA or XB... That gave me a Cube for a rental, OMG!!!

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

I had cube as a replacement car.

I love it, it was so cute :roflpuke2:. I liked the ride and feel of the thing, I don't know what engine was in it but it wasnt super slow.

also it has carbon accents on its interior not even the Z an GT-R have that :roflpuke2:

I advise it.

well for whats its worth.. here's an update..

took one out for a test drive on Friday.. went back the next day and bought it.. its a decent car.. very roomy inside for a little box.. great on gas and comfortable ride.. it gets a little squirrelly on the highway.. could definitely benefit from some wider tires and maybe some sway bars.. Its the 1.8S CVT with the interior designer package, slow as molasses, 122HP at the crank baby!!! but overall we like it.. Probably going to do a few mods to it (drop, wheels, audio) and call it a day.. Its going to be a DD so need to keep it more driveable than the Z is :)
