It is interesting that you point out that the rear-passenger side looks different from the rest of the vehicle which I also noticed in a recent Toyota commercial. I don't know if that is a good thing or not

25.6 mpg? i've gotten better than that in a corvette…

i just dont see this thing selling very well. a lot of new cars have those features now days and i havent met a soul that likes the looks…

what segment are they hoping this will compete in?

Jim,

I would say the my 2 favorite things about the Nissan Cube are the drive and the features. The 122-hp 4-cylinder gives the Cube a very peppy and solid feel when coupled with the CVT. The car features bluetooth, keyless entry, keyless start, ipod connectivity and voice activated controls, which were all very convenient.

Two things I like least about the car are the design and the the fact I only averaged 25.6 mpg when I returned the car to Nissan today. I have to say it's either a love it or hate it design - people either love the car or think its absolutely hideous - there is no in between. As for the gas-mileage - Nissan says that the 2009 Cube averages 28/30 (city/highway). I drove it normally without speeding and averaged 25.6 mpg, which was a little disappointing.

I'll be posting a full review at the end of next week.
