This Year's Model Updates:

For 2010, the Nissan Cube S and SL trims gain standard Bluetooth and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. The S also adds two additional speakers and an iPod interface. The Krom edition gets keyless ignition/entry, a color audio display and a rearview camera. The latter two items are also options on the SL trim. Finally, last year's Ginormous package has been discontinued to the lament of those with juvenile senses of humor.

Pros:
  • Peppy performance, generous passenger space, easy to park, generous standard features list, unique customization opportunities.
Cons:
  • Soggy handling, less cargo capacity and versatility than rivals, disappointing interior materials, intrusive wind noise.

  • In the Middle - 2010 with Auto Transmiss - 2010 Nissan Cube
    By -

    Great gas mileage-drinks less gas than my former 1994 Honda Civic LX (I just put gas in at 250 miles-1/4 tank left). Driving in the wind is scary-it feels like the tires might give way and makes car swerve, badly. Great view of hood to map out lanes when driving. Bad thing that they dont have inside hooks to hang dry cleaning or other stuff. Less compartments (no compartments under seats).

  • Dynamic vehicle in a unique package - 2010 Nissan Cube
    By -

    Ive owned this car about 6 months now, and I feel I can now make an informed decision on it. When I was shopping for this vehicle, I considered the Xb, Soul, Fiesta/Mazda 2, Suzuki SX4 and the Matrix/Vibe. What sold me on this one was the overall value the cube represents. The vehicle is deceptively big inside. Im 61 and have about 8 inches of headroom. The interior can swallow a lot of stuff. The available features for the money are impressive. Traction control, wheel mounted stereo controls, bluetooth, iPod connectivity. The car gets fairly decent gas mileage. The biggest holdup is its shape. A brick isnt very aerodynamic. If I had to do it over, I would buy this car again.

  • A fridge or washing machine? - 2010 Nissan Cube

    Coming from a Sequoia AWD to a Cube was not a difficult decision - felt super roomy with the vertical design. With 1600 miles on Odometer (I do 9 miles local and 9 miles fwy), I am avg 31-33 mpg on the trip computer. Love the bluetooth, only need to press 1 button and the rest are voice recognized. Although its slightly underpowered but the pick up is great from 0 to 45 mph, actually hardly any other cars pick up as fast as the Cube (just my experience on the road) - yes, a bit noise after 45 mph and on fwy do have wind noise. Suspension is above average for economy car - handles uneven paved road very well - very impressed. So far the best compact car ever owned! Go buy one!

  • Stirred Not Shaken - 2010 Nissan Cube
    By -

    So far its been a love affair. I like being 64" and not knocking my hat off getting into the drivers seat. In fact, the car is very comfortable for four large adults. The ride is nice and supple. I like the cabin layout and the clear all around visibility. The first tank of gas netted me an averaged 33mpg. The Cube is well thought out and an exceptional value.

  • Buy It - 2010 Nissan Cube
    By -

    Purchased for reliability and gas mileage. thought I wouldnt like the design but now I love it. I can see from all angles, it drives, corners and parks very well! Im at 33.8 mpg avg. The sound system is great. Some reviews had 3 bad issues. 1. engine noise on acceleration is no worse than any other 4 cyl engine Ive had. 2. highway noise at 45 mpg is true and I have not driven in strong wind. ( turn up the radio and its gone) 3. reflection is true and very freaky, still trying to get used to it but it doesnt bother my husband so maybe its personal. It is very comfortable and the 64" husband has at least 8" of head room. Yes I get the "what the H?" looks but oh well!

  • This car drives terrible on the highway especially with any wind. - 2010 Nissan Cube
    By -

    This car is good for local driving and thats about it. I dont know where all the good reviews are coming from however my Nissan Cube is terrible driving on the highway if there is wind and I mean terrible. Also wind noise from highway driving is aweful sounds like window is partly open.

  • Cube is Good & Safe. I Dont Mind It. - 2010 Nissan Cube
    By -

    Got my car 5 months ago & have put 13+k miles on it. Great drive and reliable at braking (especially with crazy drivers). I drive from LA to OC everyday. You dont hear any wind noise if you blast on the music when driving on the fwy. Great acceleration but makes noise when going too fast. Get sunglasses (youll need them!). Youll get used to the window reflections after a while. Nice air conditioning-good thing it has one because youll need it if you dont like wind noise. Shakes a lot during very hard windy seasons. At first driving, small winds make the car move and shake (youll get used to that, too). Stay away from road cracks-tire traction grips them all! Back is roomy for lunch naps.

  • I love my krom edition Nissan cube - 2010 Nissan Cube
    By -

    Love cube at first sight! I love its unique design wrapped with many glasses! I chose between the sl model and krom. My favorite color is scarlet red but they dont have it in krom edition. Finally, I picked my steel Grey krom edition instead because its fully loaded. I would say that I made a good decision even though I paid more $ but it comes with push button ignition, rear view monitor, front fascia and grille, & rear roof spoiler, aluminum-trimmed pedals and usb connectivity (iPodĀ®- compatible)! It looks very unique & cute. The cube is so roomy and the performance was better than my old matrix xr esp. The tight turning radius. Its fun to drive with and I got many compliments.

  • the BEST car out there! - 2010 Nissan Cube
    By -

    I just got my new cube today! ABSOLUTELY in love. Its so fun, easy, comfortable, cutesy... all the good things you want in a car can be found in the CUBE. I admit at first, it looked a bit odd, but when I "discovered" all the different features that it comes with, my jaw dropped. It has a lot of features in such a small car. Im 6 feet tall and I can fit in the front and back seat, comfortably. I love all the storage in the back and in the glove compartment. Plus, all the extra lighting is awesome. You dont expect much from it, but it surprises me as each minute passes.

  • Sun Visors Dangerous - 2010 Nissan Cube
    By -

    Visors are too big, they come down to low, blocking most of drivers front windshield view. Have to push all the way back towards window and still its hard to safely see out. Also they are not wide enough to help block sun through side window except for about 2" of very front area. Coming over Pacheco Pass with grand kids and we had sun directly through front window. Even my teenage grandson had a hard time maneuvering his visor. Plus trying to quickly adjust from front window to side was so dangerous, I almost wrecked into the guard rail a couple of times. I am very uncomfortable with these visors Now we have to find visors to buy that fit and do the job the right way. Anyone else agree?
