When it comes to buying a Used Honda Accord EX in Jacksonville or even a Used Nissan Titan in Atlanta, I’ll take the Nissan Cube. Three generations after the Cube’s delivery, and it has at last reached our shores, Honda’s Element, Scion’s xB, and Kia’s Soul were here with first dibs on the market. The Cube rides atop a shortened Versa framework a Versa cubed and all four variety of the Cube produced by Nissan are frontdrive only, and powered by a 122-hp, 1.8-liter four cylinder.The 2010 Scion xB compact SUV is a front-wheel drive wagon with a one piece rear lift gate. A 158-horsepower 4 cylinder 2.4 liter motor connected to one of two transmission a five speed manual or four speed automatic. Reviewers tend to compare the 2010 Nissan Cube to the Scion xB or Kia Soul, but the actuality is that nothing really compares to the funky, excellent rounded-box features of the new Nissan Cube.
For Nissan, 2010 marks the second year that the Nissan Cube will be offered in the United States, although the first three generations were selling on foreign ground since the early 80s. Most noticeable in the cabin of the Cube is a wave effect that dominates the headliner, visors and appears once again in the bottoms of the cup holders. This little add on can seem a bit too much, although professionals have all reacted positively after seeing the awesome looks of the nightclub lounge theme.
The Nissan Cube comes loaded with a perfect selection of standard safety features, including antilock brakes with brake assist and traction-control and antiskid systems. Typical seat mounted front and side airbags, and full-length head-protecting curtain airbags keeping all passengers safe. Talks have been made about Nissan coming out with an All Wheel Drive, electric propelled rear wheels to help the front wheels for better traction in the rain, that’s awesome for new buyers. Nissan has also talked about a fully electric car based on the Cube, though it won’t be on hand for consumer purchase in the U.S. until 2012.
