Utilize the MPG technology
This is a great car! I have 34000 miles and it drives very good and quite comfortable. You must deduct about 2.2 mpg from the instant dash meter to get an accurate mpg est. that being said if I put my cruise control on 59-60 for a 55 mile stretch I get 41 mpg one way and 42 mpg back. That is after deducting the 2.2 mpg. I use syntheitic oil, I went to 9.9 pound wheels with a 35 oz spacer on all 4 wheels. In a week or so I will put on new oem size rubber but they weigh 2 pounds less than the oem tires. I use a light weight crank pulley as well. If you find a place that sells ethanol free gas it may help slightly. One pound of turning weight equals 4 pounds of static weight.
Melting Dollop of Ice Cream - 2011 cube sl
I have only owned this white 2011 Nissan cube sl for 3 weeks, and it is the summertime, but I also own a Miata and have preferred the ride in the cube. I love everything about it, and I have no complaints other than the somewhat questionable acceleration (a true CVT with some electronics seemingly making the decisions). That being said, it gets out of its way, and doesn't have any issue on the highway. The Miata is like being in a tightly laced sprinting shoe, the cube is more like a pair of flip-flops. Super comfy, easy to update, super affordable, super roomy. I actually smile when I am riding around in it. I really don't know why this was discontinued... If you don't want a cookie-cutter car, and need an affordable, comfortable, four seater that you can park and actually fit four full sized people in, then you really need to look at the few cubes left for sale.

A SENTRA TOO.NISSAN IS NO LONGER A GOOD CAR.LEMON
You would think after owning a car for 5.5 yrs., I should know if I like it or not. But just as I reached the 5 year mark, at 35, 000 mi., the CVT tranny was ground into pieces . But, I do have to say NISSAN CORP. treated me quite well. Before and after this, I have had no issues. I am now at 42,000 mi. and have made friends again, with my car. For the first 5 years, I had such a crush on the little car. The circular patterns in the cabin are great and it has as much visual personality as I do. Mine is base and one thing I love/hate about it is how close I can get to the windshield. I always have to make sure not to get so close, because my knees fight with the steering column. I am 4ft. 10 in., so the vision is one of the best, but, I just have to remember to not adjust it to maximum closeness... It rides scary on the hwy., driving 70-90 mph in the higher winds. Milage is ok, unless tranny is going out...I get 26 in town and 30 hwy. Me and my cube are now entering into the second stage of our relationship and the reason I say the jury is out is I have yet to see if it lives up to the expectation I had when I bought it, LOGEVITY! As long as it allows me to continue driving THIS CAR for the rest of my Texas Hill Country Driving Life, I will forgive that CVT triflin'. I am 62.5/f and Its so hard to tell because I only average about 3500 mi. per year. I see the car holding its resale pretty well, as the BOX CAR Cult is alive and growing! There must be something about that large, rather flat windshield, as I see others on the road with the same cracked windshield. I oughta follow my gut on this off-market Nissan and invest in the best warranty I can get, just to guarantee the longevity I crave, now that I have no payments and only liability on a fixed income. I have heard it called "a grocery hauler; a pretty ample description! I find it lags on the hills up there, but the car is used to Houston flatlands. So, with all the bitchin' I do about her, I have ask "What do I like about it that makes it the "longest I ever owned a car"? I bought it new, so any dents, or lack of maintenance are on me, I know where it has been..NO WATER DAMAGE AND AN AVAILABLE TITLE... AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, it starts when I wake up and gets me where I have to be every morning that I have to be somewhere. So, I do love it for its fidelity, but I got eyes on it and one more issue with it "slippin' around could ruin me and my cube...BUT, I am a hard taskmaster and require a lot for my money...Not planning on parting with it anytime soon!

very awesome car
Like many, when i first saw the cube i though it looked a little odd, like a shoebox. But once you step inside, the deisign is amazing and the interior is suprisingly spacious. I thought it would be a bad idea to get a brand new car as my first car, but with this car, its not. Its short so its easy to park, u-turns are a breeze, and it has excellent visibility, making this an excellent choice for a new driver like me. The safety features are also a great bonus. I HIGHLY recommend this car for any one who wants an eye-catching car thats fun to drive.
