I love "almost" everything about the cube, and 98% there of buying the fully loaded Krom edition, except, there are a few deal breakers.

1) all models need to have an option for manual transmission.  This vehicle is suppose to be fun to drive.  The CVT is not fun.  :(
2) In needs more Horse power nothing like 300 HP, but more than 122 HP.  A turbo would help.  175 HP would be a good balance between fuel efficiency and power.  If fuel efficiency is the primary concern for me, then I'd take the bus or ride my bicycle.
3) needs a sun roof.   I just like it.

Crash tests show that the gas tank explodes on impact (as per the ford pinto)....hey on the bright side it is shaped like a box....so they can bury you it it.  GOOD WORK NISSAN!

I'm fine with the look. At the very least it's distinctive.

I haven't driven one, but the reviews seem underwhelming.

 :iagree:

The Cube is an IIHS "Top Safety Pick".

The spillage occurred during rear-end crash tests at 80 kilometres per hour where the vehicle also spun onto its side.

That's a pretty specific set of circumstances.
