  • so cuTe!

    reminDss me of uh car from spAce)

  • I am getting one next year

  • The Cube's design will forever be a talking point, but what this car screams is functionality and/or technophile IMO. Sure, you may need a certain personality to buy one (of which I may be compatible with), but if it isn't the quirkiness you're after it is the price point for what you get: a reliable vehicle, low price, and SPACE in a compact design. Why waste money on a sub-compact economy car when you can spend the same money and get this much space and still achieve 30mpg? Cube offers it.

  • I hated them until I sat in the driver's seat. I now own one. Don't judge them from the outside.

  • Its pretty

  • The Cube is a piece of shit. Has absolutely no pick up, slowest car ever. The 6 speed sucks for driving in traffic. The design is awful. Rocks and chipped paint like crazy in a matter of minutes due to profile. It is comfortable to ride in, handles well in weather minus the excessive wind (pushed one hard in pouring rain with massive puddles). The back door never stays open. Gas mileage sucks. All in all, it's junk, but a sturdy built vehicle.

  • Bonjour, j'ai une jolie Cube de Nissan depuis déjà 17 mois et je l'adore, au début lorsque je l'ai vu en passant devant le concessionnaire je me suis dit, c'est donc bien laid cette voiture là, chaque fois que je passais devant je l'ai trouvé de plus en plus jolie. Vraiment différente des autres elle se démarque. Merci pour ce modèle assez différent.

  • What a car! Err, truck, suv, toaster oven...Oh I give up.

  • So where does the bread go?

  • better than the XB?

  • hip to be square!

  • Ugly piece of crap I say. Only a moron would drive this crap, and guess what moron, you look like an idiot in that thing. Why are more men driving these crappy cars? Sad, I see so many men in the friggin Smart, Versa, Fit, Yaris, crap clown cars. So distrubing, buy a truck guys, you look stupid. Flush this garbage down the toilet. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

  • @heybiglinus

    4X4 Trucks are only practible if you live in the country where the road are more bad because in the City they release a lot of air pollution as they guzzle a lot of gas.

  • @heybiglinus Suck my liberal dick!

  • @heybiglinus

    Maybe those who are buying smaller economy cars rather than extremely large trucks are attempting to save on fuel/operating costs, and put out less Co2 at the same time. Also, insulting the customer base of a vehicle only makes you look like an inconsiderate asshole. Have a nice day! ^_^

  • @heybiglinus something tells me you have a very small penis....

  • @heyBIGlinus haha who's a REDNECK?? Hilarious! Does your truck have BIG tires? BIG suspension?  Bet ya got a BIG dog too. Whats that spell? SMALL PENIS SYNDROME! now THATS a mental disorder. Dont worry buddy, its how ya use it!

  • @heybiglinus I am a conservative Republican by the way you white trash moron buy a truck seriously? I have no need for a truck I do not build houses or plow snow. I do not own a HVAC business, nor a roofing business. Why do I need a truck to be manly? I am a Ron Paul supporting Die hard Conservative And I own a CUBE!

  • outside of japan it may look stupid and be a weird car but in japan they make alot of sense

  • I don't care how practical this thing is! Ever since honda came out with the horrifying element, japanese designers have been having a contest of who can design the ugliest P-O-S on the market and who is blind enough to buy these major eye sores! Just look at this latest ridiculously design P-O-S....Proportions are way off, no style, plain ugly! Just look at it, even the rear axel sticks out fatter than the talegate! Even the AMC Pacer looked way better than this! Open your eyes people!

  • @gtsuperjet ... So, what do you drive?

  • @emantabrizi It doesn't mather what I drive, I was just expressing my view. Obviously, we don't share the same views on cars. I think cars are statements of who we are. What you drive says allot about your personality....You can't tell me that this thing has style! Also, some people will buy anything to be different, no manner how stupid they really look! It's just surprising to me, how some people will put styling and beauty aside, sometimes there own security for practicality!

  • @gtsuperjet ... And that's where you're wrong. Not everyone can afford the car that fits them. I think a Ferrari Italia would fit my personality perfectly, but unfortunately, I can't even afford the down payment on one. Most people buy what they can afford, and MOST people just look for something that is reliable, fuel-efficient, and practical...everything the Cube is. It's difficult to make a BOX look good. Nissan and Scion have done a pretty good job of doing just that.

  • @emantabrizi I know what you're saying, but I'm sure you can afford to buy a car that fits your personality and actually looks nice. This thing isn't good looking..at all! The front end looks like a fish with glasses, the rear looks like a lope-sided elephant and the side...Well the side is to ugly to be compared to anything! I'm not surprise it's a smash in japan, all the cars there are ugly and this fits in perfectly. In America, we find pride in what we drive! What ever happened to USA pride

  • @gtsuperjet ... The Cube's MSRP is $14,310. Which new automobile would YOU buy for that price?

  • @gtsuperjet If what you drive says something about you, then driving one of these would state that you DONT GIVE A FUCK what people think. Too bad people like you actually think youre impressing strangers with a 'pretty' car. Thats pathetic! Like the roid monkey driving a Hummer - LOSER! The 55 year old exec who dumps his wife and buys a Corvette - LOSER! The small penis redneck with the huge jacked up F250 - LOSER! I drive a Tacoma 4x4, btw, and I think whoever drives a 'Cube' is cool.

  • @liennto driving a dirty 85 oldsmobile says i dont give a fuck, driving a cube says im a 16 year old retarded cheerleader

  • @fuelinjectedmaniac The cube doesn't say female or 16 year old... It screams technophile IMO. Most Cube owners I have known are male, FWIW.

  • @bj615 well every cube and similar car I've seen on the road has had a pair of boobs directly behind the steering wheel so hmmmmmm maybe they are cross dressers :P

  • @bj615 and how would a technology lover get there kicks outta this thing? its not like it has ground breaking technology in it like the mclaren or veyron or that new porchse hybrid racer, there was no attempt in the video of any navigation or anything remotely considered technologically cool, unless you talking about technophiles like ppl who think the second symphony of sine wave is a classic of musical achievements then yes it screams hipster idea of cool very different from the reality ofcool

  • @fuelinjectedmaniac The vast majority of people can't afford a Porsche... And people want space.. And the quirky vehicle has a lot of perks. Try not to over-analyze "cool"... Some people like this car, me included. It is not a racer, but it is functional and urban friendly. Space and small... Its a paradox in a box.

  • @bj615 quirky is about all it has going for it maybe good for hauling the occasional pals to a get-together but there isnt much that is really that cool the weird design doesn't help it and you take it out of a 30-40 mph zone that flat windsheld is gonna bitch, it just doesnt scream road trip, a small suv or cross over will age better then that thing

  • @fuelinjectedmaniac I think we've established you despise the Cube with a passion of hatred... Message heard loud and clear. Other people, like me, love the style. It seems like the ultimately practical urban vehicle. The reason why it is popular in Japan is because the cities there are very dense, there simply isn't room for big vehicles. But the Cube makes the most of a small space. Footprint of the Cube is smaller than many subcompact cars. It simply works and is very roomy inside.

  • first impression fucking stupid, then i test drove it... im now the proud owner of a cube lol great car

  • @humbleleon991 lol that is what I thought too. We went to go look at the versa and ended up teswt driving the Cube and went home with the Cube. Didn't even make it to the Versa. It grows on you. I didn't like it at when I saw it. Test drove it and got out and it looked different to me then. Happy Cubing

  • @humbleleon991 lol that is what I thought too. We went to go look at the versa and ended up teswt driving the Cube and went home with the Cube. Didn't even make it to the Versa. It grows on you.

  • 9.1 seconds is faster than a corolla. i doubt it

  • @toyota420xp

    My Corolla is 10.1.

    I'm not a Toyota hater, I'm just saying.

  • i kinda like it but it probably handles like crap because of the box shape. i mean come on we know its boxy dont have to calll it the cube. it realy makes me laugh

  • I'm really digging this car and want to get one..

  • It's beautiful. Japanese Aesthetics

  • Great car cute,funky and a beautiful ride ,great seats

  • this is the ugliest thing ever i rather drive a smart car

  • Dam ugly. 

  • Damn Cube , you ugly !

  • Disneyland golf cart used by Goofy!!!

  • I actually love everything about this car, and I really want to get one!

  • Did they change much between this review and the actual cars sold here?? I don't think mine has "electric power steering" - the road feel is fine. I drive the hell outta mine through commuter traffic. Had it for a year....I do think its funny how I've never been passed by another Cube, I'm allways the faster "fridge". I guess most poeple who have them are generally too timid. Fine with me - the law doesn't pay me any attention in this box.

  • Comment removed

  • I would rather have my third testicle removed, than drive that car.

    Remy,

  • @darkseed1010 you mean your brain?

  • it looks like an ice cream truck for elves

  • Pathetic excuse for a... I don't even know what it is. Honestly, are fisheads that desperate for space?

  • you want a nissan? get a maxima!!

  • I hate that the styling has gotten "watered down." I miss the sharp edges of the previous generations.

  • the Twilight of cars. Lots of dumbasses think it's so great, but educated people know very well that it's a piece of shit.

  • i saw someone drive by me on the highway i was like is that a real car

  • EPIC FAIL

  • cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooool

  • I WANT ONE!! I LOVE THEM!! :)

  • yeah too boxy for American taste....thank god XB rounded off their edges

  • i had the privilege of driving over 50 miles on the highway near one of these.

    he / she got cut off by every car changing lanes cause no one wanted to look at its ugliness.

    JUNK!

  • god I want one!!!!!!!!

  • i like cube cars they are cool

  • is this the next barbie car?

  • this is the worst looking car in the world, ill drive a goddamm yugo before i get into this crap

  • these cars are so freakin UGLY next!

  • Oh my god...I love these cars so much! We have a red cube, and it's so roomy on the inside even tho it's pretty small on the outside...IT'S CHIBI!!!! XD

  • so fucking ugly.......

  • ...the U.S. model has rollover from previous years; the 1.8L engine is lifted from the Versa and is loosely based on the 1.8L that powered the Sentra all those years. Which begs the question- The Sentra eventually got the 2.5L from the Altima, will it fit this? It could be called a Jack of many trades and master of none. Unlike Toyota, Nissan don't yet plan on making near as many outfitting options, which hinders it. It's more radical than beautiful, and that's really all it is, unfortunately.

  • This is another car that says, " don't care enough about my driving to buy a driver's car, and I also don't care enough about my driving to drive well. Please pass me with your Volvo." I get the reason they did the rear window arrangement, one strong pillar on the same side as the steering wheel, and the passenger side has no blind spot. Still a committee designed car, though...

  • @ThePatUltra wtf is everyone bitching on volvo for, most volvo's have a 0-60 time of 5 seconds, that can pass most of the cars on the road

  • @dergangedchipmunk Take a chance to re-read my post. I wasn't bitching Volvo, I was complimenting it. The post is describing how the Cube is an unusual car that doesn't really know what it is. Yes most current Volvo's can squeeze 0-60 out between 6 and 7 seconds, depending on which one you buy and what grade of fuel you fill it with, but to use this as a support rag for Volvo is beyond the point. I hope this helps clear up the confusion.

  • i wnt it

  • I totally disagree with this report.

    Cube has originality inside and out unlike the same old, same old Scion and Soul. I found it to be a peppy, fast cruiser and very comfortable that offered some high end items like automatic dual climate control and proximity decetor lock and push button start. The interior is sexy and the whole veh is new and innovative.

  • Ugliest cars ever!

    Nissan Cube

    Pontiac Aztek

    Corbin Sparrow

  • I hated the look of it too,until I DROVE it. Now I own one and you can mock it all ya want. I LOVE IT !!!!!!

  • It's really beautiful

    Geek-chic

  • I drive a cube :) it's great.

  • I bought this car. Its a pretty amazing vehicle. I have the 6 speed. It gets fantastic gas mileage and the interior space is above average. Super fun car to drive. I love this car!

  • That has to be the ugliest car ever! Whenever I see one, I expect to see Fred Flintstone sitting behind the wheel!

  • i actually like it.

  • go try one u will be fred

  • I wouldn't be caught dead in such an idiotic looking, sorry excuse for an SUV!!!

  • @bodyvegas

    its not an SUV, its just a nissan micra.

  • ugly and expensive, bravo !

  • awesome party car

  • sold!!!! ill take one in white

  • Somebody in 1970 tried making this car, but they fired him for being old-fashioned.

  • GREAT CAR!

  • To MrBullfrog9876: it's not a lawnmower, it's a microwave oven!!!

  • i like the inside of it but the outside is way to fucken ugly

  • just a nice-looking box, not very functioning

  • $14,000 to $20,000?  And these lawnmowers don't even come with blades. sorry, no sale here.

  • i think it needs to be more in the yaris price range, but i'm not sure what features the yaris doesn't include for $11k.

  • 14,600$ to above 20,000$!!! who the fuckis going to pay 20,000$ for a car that not eaven symmetrical!!!!

  • @stpe2005 people who dont like symetry...

  • of course the gooks like it its fucking ugly!!!

  • cube controversy.... in case anyone cares

    search for 'Hypercube+ encyclopedia dramatica' and continues with 'Hypercube+aftermath'

    I don't dont want to spend my hard earn money on a company that has poor ethics!

  • During the mid 90's there were many reports the of the Big-3 buying control percentages of their Japanese competitors. I really can't see Japan doing anything like this out of their own initiative considering the exotic designs they were so famous for in the 80's and early 90's.

  • One of the stupidest looking contraptions I have ever seen. I laugh out loud at these things on the road. A toaster oven on wheels. lol

  • why hate on the cube?....jeez, now im starting to hate it.. :(

  • I have one. It's adorable. But you didn't note it's oddest fun toy-like feature of mood lighting. Over twenty colors to choose from - hot pink to gold to blue.

  • Is that feature jus for the krom edition?

  • No, it starts in the edition below that. 16k.  (but I did the CARS program and paid 10k)

  • what is the CARS program?

  • It was the Cash for Clunkers thing. I had a GMC Safari before, 10 years old. That thing drank fuel like crazy - twice I filled up for over $100. Trading it in, it's unlikely I would have gotten more than 2-3k for it, so this was a GREAT deal for me, and left me with a new shiney car, which I probably wouldn't have sprung for without that program. :D

  • Oh ok thanks. I googled it right after I made the comment. It seems like a good program. I cant take part in it because my trade-in car was made after 2001. I'm still undecided; the Cube is nice but I might go with the Kia Soul.

  • so they destroyed a perfectly good van because you can afford gas and now your stuck with car payments the rest of your life.

    good job

  • Leave it to nissan to make the only car capable of making the scion xb look good.

  • It looks like a tooth.

  • it doesnt but it does

  • COOL CAR

  • My neighbor just got one. At first I thought it was just a fridge in his driveway

  • lmao

  • U silly....lol! Everyone I hear have problems with Nissans but, It looks cool

  • @DukeFilmsInc LOL ! THE NISSAN CUBE IS A NICE MINI UTILITY VEHICLE NONE THE LESS !

  • my parents bought TWO!

    TODAY!

  • @em8mar8mar8lola Sorry for you.. thats so sad!

  • WOW well i must say i do believe that the cube should have stayed in Japan. It has no business being here in the U.S. we already have enough ugly square vehicles: Scion xb Honda Element.

  • Why are you commenting on this video?

  • Rice guzzler

  • LOL

  • i test drove one today, the manual transmission is uber slow. but its really roomy.

  • yoo! this nissan cube is friking ugly !!!!

  • I saw this in Japan back in 98 and fell in love. I didn't think they'd bring it to the states!

    I'm getting my cube this week :]

  • square cars have always been ugly and aerodynamic nightmares but this tops the list...

  • i get this car so cute !!

  • lol i said i didn't like this car at all because of the design and someone commented that it's because i can't afford it and because i'm racist? haha.. i can't afford ANY car but that doesn't mean i dont have opinions about how things look. and how am i racist? i simply said i don't like where nissan is headed with their design i never said i hate japanese cars. i don't know how some people can get so emotional over a brand. some cars deserve to be knocked down and i have every right to voice it

  • I totally agree about where Nissan is headed. I mean, I love the new Z and the Altima...and I own a Versa (the hatch-back is the only one to have). But other than that, the new Sentra for instance...yuk. I have a '92 SE-R, and a '04 Sentra 1.8s...but man, the new one just sucks.

    But I do have to say that I disagree about the Cube. Your opinion is your opinion, and that's cool...not knocking it. Just saying, I like the car. I think it's moddern, and querky.

  • Agree 100% this car should get a BFH. I saw one today and thought of Sponge Bob before I even realized what it was. I stood for like 5min looking it over, and this thing is theee uglyiest car I've ever seen. Seems like they(Nissan) are going for the aqua theme, but this car failed. Hope this is not the future of Nissan styling.

  • @etatauri hahahaa and how does not liking japanese cars make you racist at all?! hahahah people are so fucking DUMB.

    (ps: thinking about buying because of the fact that theres room in the back seat for adults, and i have teenage brothers to tote around... waaaaaaay more room than my hundai accent. ahha)

  • @etatauri Wow your racist, Lol just kidding ^^

  • 2010??

    but is saw one last week in london...:S

  • who would drive this

  • I think I will buy this car when I get older. :D

  • i think the cube is adorable i plan on checking one out...

  • i just saw one today theyre great there fasionable.comfy seats,and it feels good when your at the wheel.

  • i remeber not having a dad but then car and drive came on the tnn network

    it became my dad bwuahahahahah

  • ugly ugly car

  • cube is ok i gues but i'd prefer to have a fit!!!!!

  • i want this car sooo bad!!!

  • We bought two--they are boxy looking, but doesn't feel that way inside. We love them--so fun to drive. The sound system in the Krom and SL are nice too!

  • i hate cube cars especially the way honda made thier element

  • 1 Scion 2 Cube 3 Honda's Shitty Element

  • I think this is nice but I purchased the Soul instead. Once you test drive a Soul, you are sold.

  • its just sooo ugly. xb still tops :]

  • Not as bad as the Element

  • its only hip, because the media says its hip, jackass... use your real opinion, and buy a car based on that

  • i actually like it! :)

  • pause at 1:26 i dont like how the window has a bar on the left side an none on the right

  • kia soul looks better and has a stronger engine

  • I'm not ashmed to admit it. I like this thing too and thats coming from a Corvette owner =P

  • ugly why is the US ruining cars... i'd rather drive a lawn mower

  • did little kids design this or what?

  • looks cheap, like a childs car, probably best for the teenagers

  • I'm a teen & I HATE it, good looking to Japanese, but UGLYER than hell in my eyes

  • wtf

  • The cube will be the Edsel of 2009.

  • NIIIIISSSSSAAAAAAAAAN!!!! how could you! and right after the GTR..... shucks...

  • I love this car. It's like a car version of scooter(seem do well in everyday hop-n-go). I know most of review complains the weak engine(other than looks)... but with this price... come on, man. First of all, why do you have to go fast in stop-n-go traffic in metro area? I own Impala SS, T-bird SC, and Dodge Ram, but I believe this new look from Japan will be the new generation of cool metro cars. FYI, Cube and xB have been sold in Japan for a decade, i.e, all the nicks are already taken care of.

  • that car is ugly i would not drive that.

  • this car is so ugly it left me speechless

  • I'd buy this if I was in japan, even still I'd drive a 1957 Ford Ranchero

  • its ok, i love my beetle better! saves on gas and so must better then cube

  • rofl, i hate cube shaped cars, but i'd still take a scion than this!

  • I LOVE THIS CAR!

    and SCIONS!

  • this vehicle is a rolling bowel movement

  • Honda FIT?...the cube may look like an artsy box the FIT looks like artsy egg...its all the matter of ur taste.

  • I think the japanese styling of it would have been a lot better

  • lol, people like these cuz cheap price and good gas mileage, roomy and looks cool (opinoin) also good view aswell, obviously if u want a fast car dont look at the artsy box cars, dont calll it crappy cuz its not ur style, i test drove it, i personaly luv these roomy box mobiles cuz its stylish and fun to drive round town, dont hate cuz u luv ford trucks and muscle cars or german engineared car

  • yoU IS A DAMN LIE

  • i do hate it, because it sticks out here like a sore thumb
