The car looks small from the outside it is actually very spacious inside.

The one thing I dislike about my vehicle is the shape because it is out of the ordinary. However, there is a rear view camera that allows me to park with much ease. The back seats are capable of reclining allowing for comfort during a long drive. There are also 12 cup holders which is essential when 5 passengers have ordered fast food.

2010 Nissan cube reliable fun vehicle.

The 2010 Nissan cube has a 1.8 l 4 cylinder engine. The Nissan cube is great for city driving. It gets 31 mpg highway and 27 mpg city. It is only 157.5' long, so it is very easy to parallel park in the city. The Nissan cube is very comfortable and perfect for road trips with cruise control, climate control, and great gas mileage. The rear door opens wide and the back seats fold down to allow ample room for hauling large items. The Nissan cube also has CD player, satellite radio, USB ports, phone charging port, and fun multicolor changing interior floor lights. The Nissan cube is a great reliable vehicle!

More space than you would imagine!

The Nissan cube is much more roomy than people imagine. I am a tall person and I am very comfortable in it. I have had very few maintenance problems with the car and it gets decent gas mileage. I am a fan of the sound system in the car as well. I do wish that there was a little more room in the trunk area and I do not like where the spare tire is located. It is difficult to get to.

This is my car, not yours, treat it is such. Don't litter.

My car is absolutely perfect for my needs. It gets me to my destinations without any problems and holds all of my photography gear with ease.

Good vehicle for comfortable ride.

I haven't had any trouble with my car than regular maintenance for the age of the vehicle. New tires, new battery, minor exhaust repair, and regular oil changes. Good on gas, easy to drive, comfortable ride, small storage but fine for 3-4 bags of groceries.

Juan H

Cube, the car of the century.

I hardly have any problems with this car. It is perfect for traveling, and driving around town. It fits most everything I need. Does great on gas, get it checked regularly, do all my oil changes on time. I just wish the front window was not at an almost 90 degree angle. I get cracks easily when rocks hit it.

Linda H

It's very convenient , compact car. Gets around easily. East to park and k turns.

Claire S

Fun, customizable car, gets you where you need to go.

The cube is a fun car that feels good to drive. It has lots of customization options to make the car truly feel yours. It has good gas mileage, drives well, and takes you where you need to be. I love my cube, and it is definitely a conversation starter. You will love owning a cube.

Matthew W

The worst car I've ever owned, I will never drive a Nissan again

It's comfortable but the driving is terrible, if you've ever flown a kite that's what it's like driving this car going 70 miles an hour on a windy highway. If you hit a curb wrong, you're just bending your axles. It's outdated, didn't age well and it's a nightmare to work on

Hannah B

This vehicle is not worth it.

The exterior is ugly and people comment on it a lot. The interior is pretty nice but I have a lot of problems with the engine. My vehicle currently has about 113k miles on it and is on its way to needing a new transmission. I would not recommend this vehicle at all.

Jace L

Drivin' and vibin' in the Nissan.

It has a great interior. It gets down to the basics. I enjoy driving it on the highway and the vibes it gives off. The only thing I wish is that it was more cubey. The sound system is pretty basic. I did upgrade it after the fact and am very happy with the upgrades.

sandra l

Wind tosses it around and makes it hard to steer it

Not good in wind and snow comfortable to drive.hatch will not stay open.

Maria A

It transitions itself like a stick shift engine

The engine I do not like. I do like all the cup holders

Courtney T

Cube is a great fun little car!

This car is reliable but every few years the muffler burns off and has to be replaced. Other than that the only problem I have had with this 10 year old car is the heater blower motor going out. Overall it is a decent small car although I will be switching to a car that is higher off the ground when I run this one into the ground. I bought this to replace my Volkswagen beetle because my kid was growing up and so far so good. Few problems, unique design and it is never given out on me once.

Melissa L

It is a clown car, a box on wheels but we love it.

We bought it used in July 2018 and didn't have any problems with it until a couple weeks ago. Now it will not accelerate. Hoping to have it fixed soon as it is our only car. Overall we love it, it is great on gas and is a good family car. It is a car we'd recommend to family and friends.

Chayanun S

Passenger room is huge. It is very comfortable for everyone.

Transmission has a problem. When drive in the high wind, the car will swilled. The engine run okay, but after break from the high speed will get problem for take off. The car has a bigger passenger room than other cher in same signet. A/c still run good. Heater is running okay.

2010 Nissan cube reliable fun vehicle.

Deidre S on April 1, 2021

I love the size, my daughter is getting a little big to use her car seat.

When I first purchase my car I was pregnant, one day I was driving it and noticed that I could not accelerate. Come to find out the transmission was giving out, luckily it was only a few months in when I begin to lease it so everything was covered. But haven't had any major issues after that.
