I love the bright blue color the exterior of my car is.
I have not found many problems with my cube. It is very fuel efficient and easy to clean. I like the color and interior of the car. The insides are beige. Although they can easily get stained they've been sprayed with scotchguard. So it is not very easy to stain them. The car is spacious enough to fit y family of 5. There’s an ample amount of space in the trunk as well.

The ceilings make the vehicle feel so much bigger and safer.
My cube is my first and only car. I have driven it on at least 3 12+ hour road trips, and the only issue I have ever had is that it struggles to get up to speed on hills. That is an easy fix because I just get in the slower lanes! Otherwise, this car has been perfect for me. Even though it is only a 5-seater, it feels so spacious because the ceiling is so high. My dad is 6'2' and his head is several inches from the ceiling if he ever rides in it! I'd say it is a totally reliable car, super comfortable, with very few problems. However, things I would change about it would be to have air conditioning/heat in the back seats, and have a built-in iPhone adapter. It has a cord that is for the older iPhones that had wider charging cords, but not for the newer iPhones with the smaller cords. Otherwise, I love this car, it is been my baby for nearly 7 years!

A little car but great and roomy.
Never had any problems besides normal issues like changing brake pads and oil changes. It is very comfortable. I love it. The windshield is very big can see a lot out of it. Sits lower to ground which I love. Car looks small on outside but very roomy on inside. Very great car. Great on gas mileage also. Love that it is a push start car also.

Nissan cube is a fun, spacious, quiet car to drive.
The cube is very spacious on the inside for people, pets, grocery bags! Cute car that gets great gas mileage on the roads and major highways. I bought mine at the end of 2013. So far, I have only had to replace the battery and the tires and it is 2018! Quiet ride and one of the features I like most is the “check tire pressure” light comes on whenever your pressure is too low or sometimes after a cold temperature subsides. Makes it a lot easier to find a nail is in your tire and to look for possible tire issues. This saved me from a major blow out on the interstate.

Nissan Cube 2013 spacious car
The Nissan Cube 2013 is absolutely AMAZING! The back seats can be pulled back to relax. It's a very spacious car.

The Big Ol' Reliable Small Car
None so far it's been the best first car I could ask for as of right now. I'd have to say the only issues is the tires, you definitely need to make the tires and transmission is ok but if so it's awesome. I have the 2013 version which is nice because if you always keep coolant in the car you'll have good A/C.

What I like about my car is the style, that is it.
The interior parts such as under the hood is not quality made. I have had vehicle problems recently that are pricey. Basically if you travel and commute a lot this is not the car for you. Also, when I would drive on the highway the car would shake because it is shape. I do not have ac, my check engine light is on, overall it is not a good car. If you do not travel outside of your town it is a good car for you.

My car in a nutshell of course
This car has a lot of cargo room, very roomy for four average weight passengers, is fuel efficient by doing at least forty miles to the gallon and it has an unique design. However, my car is prone to accidents and flips with relative ease as well as a bad safety record through the efficiency of the airbags.

The pros and cons of owning a cube!
Seats are awesome, road very bumpy. But a great little car over all! There needs to be more places for you things and cup holders. It is the Mary quite car to ride in. Could use it more often if it was a more traveling car. There cannot hold anything for it does not have the frame for it. This little feature would be a great asset to it as the quietness of it too!

Make sure you know the terms and conditions,
Our daughter bought this vehicle brand new she put the first mile on it. We took over payments; a few days after the warranty expired it had a major issue and they refused us service.

My vehicle drives smooth for the most part.
Takes a lot of gas, not very spacious. The reliability of the car is okay when it comes to driving far distances. I wish there was more space considering the car is a cube. Turning sometimes I would have to slow up. There is a great interior design that makes the car look really pretty also. The gas tank is on the left side and the lever is under the seat.

The overall functionality of the car is pretty good.
The first thing that went was the transmission, within a month after I purchased the vehicle. It drives ok I haven't had much problem since. It is not a great looking car, but it gets the job done. I have it over a year and I have not gotten it serviced as yet, and it is holding up pretty good so far.

A fun and funny vehicle to drive and own.
The cube is a fun and funny vehicle to drive, it is user-friendly. And handles the snow covered roads well. It stands out in a parking lot full of vehicles which makes it easy to find. If you cannot take a good joke this is not the ride for you as many folks make fun of the shape of the 'cube'.

Issues with my Nissan Cube
Vehicle is reliable in general but lacks power. When stopped at a light and it's time to get going there is a lot of hesitation and you have to let up on accelerator and back again to pick up speed. A/C is good and sound system works pretty well. There is also a nagging tire flat warning on display every other day all day.

Maintenance is very important especially for the transmission.
It gets great gas mileage. It is easy to drive and park. It is small enough to get around town, yet has a lot of interior room. For a small car it rides well on city streets. It also drives well on the highway. Maintenance is very important especially for the transmission. It requires special oil and needs to be changed every 50, 000 miles. For.

How Reliable Is The 2013 Nissan cube?

This car is not reliable. The reason why is because it is prone to roll side accidents. It does have problems of course.
Susan R.

Is The 2013 Nissan cube A Good Value?

It costs about $5,000 to lease this pre-owned vehicle. The reason why is because it is essentially normal for Nissan.
