2009 nissan cube review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. New vehicle blends design, practicality, frugality. introductionthe nissan cube is a new entry to the u. S., a small crossover suv sporting a boxy, whimsical body design housing a practical cabin. Small on the outside, it's easy to maneuver, easy to park, and it's epa-rated at 30 miles per gallon highway. Yet it's big on the inside. Its back seat reclines for comfort or can be deleted for van-like cargo space. Nissan markets its cube in fashionable lower case, like iphone and smart fortwo. the cube is a newcomer to the u. Market, but it has been on sale for 10 years in japan, and this version is actually the third generation of this product. The cube predates the chrysler pt cruiser, scion xb, kia soul, toyota yaris, and honda fit, all of which nissan counts as the cube's direct competitors. Easy to park, it can make a u-turn in the tiniest of spaces. Cube and cube s come with a six-speed manual or optional cvt 1000). the cube s upgrades from the base model with premium grade fabric, body-colored outside mirrors, cruise control, and a cargo area cover, among other features. the cube sl comes standard with the cvt, 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, auto on/off headlights, automatic temperature control a/c, the interface system for the apple ipod, and six speakers. the cube krom includes an exclusive integrated body design, 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, a sporty interior treatment, rockford fosgate subwoofer, and the xtronic cvt. options include xm satellite radio, bluetooth connectivity, an ipod interface system, and an intelligent key system with starter button. A six-way manual adjuster provides for all types of driver physiques. the reclining rear seat slides fore and aft more than six inches, enabling moms to deal with backseat kids or babies easily at arm's length or large adults to sit comfortably behind large adults in the front seat. An optional cargo package deletes the rear seats to provide enough space for a rock band's gear. Multi-functional hooks can be detached and moved around the car as needed, and there six cupholders. although the cube's design is quirky on the outside, it's all business and quite normal on the inside, with a conventional gauge package, a slightly stylized center area with the radio and environmental controls, and a large glovebox, with storage cubbies all over the doors and interior. interior design licks include a ripple-effect headliner with concentric circles around the dome light, a theme repeated on the speaker cones (and on the rockford fosgate subwoofer when ordered). The waveform dashboard and instrument panel are delightful to look at and very easy to use. the krom comes with that rockford fosgate six-speaker stereo system with the subwoofer mounted in the center of the cargo door. driving impressionweighing just 2800 pounds in its basic form, the cube doesn't tax the 122-horsepower engine at all, and it feels reasonably quick getting away from stoplights and stop signs in urban and suburban settings. the cube sl test car we drove had the cvt transmission as standard equipment, and it worked very well with the engine's 127 foot-pounds of torque without a lot of waiting around for the revs to catch up to the ratios, a common problem with other cvts that tend to make driving noisy and clunky. Not in the cube cvt. It's not a rocket ship, but it more than keeps up with the traffic, and it isn't buzzy or whiny at freeway speeds. epa-rated at 22/30 mpg city/highway, cube runs on regular gas. the suspension under the cube is entirely conventional, with macpherson struts, coil springs and a stabilizer bar up front, and a torsion beam setup with coil springs and a stabilizer bar at the rear, simple, cheap and effective, and a system that has tuned out almost all of the usual body roll in corners, so the cube feels stable and planted on its relatively skinny, tall tires. the steering is light and easy, but not ropey, and the driver's seating position is nice and high, with really excellent outward vision in all directions. The brakes are discs front and drums rear, but with abs, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist, traction and yaw control built into the system. summarythe nissan cube is cute, practical, and fuel-efficient, whether used as a primary car or as a runabout or weekender. It holds a lot of people and cargo, it's zippy, and it can be easily customized. jim mccraw filed this newcartestdrive.
