2013 Nissan cube ST Reg Cab 4x2

The Nissan Cube is a compact four-door hatchback wagon offered in base, S and SL trim levels. Motivation comes from a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that produces 122 horsepower, joined to either a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT. Base-level Cubes come standard with head curtain airbags, air-conditioning, power accessories, a 60/40-split sliding rear seat and a CD player. Higher trims offer frills like alloy wheels, keyless ignition/entry, cruise control, upgraded audio (with iPod/MP3 capability), a rearview camera and automatic climate control. Customizing Cubers can tempt themselves with a multitude of factory- and dealer-installed accessories that include body kits and interior styling mods., , Along with its attention-grabbing exterior design and park-anywhere footprint, the Nissan Cube boasts a tall, spacious cabin. Headroom and legroom are plentiful for all occupants, and the rear seat slides fore and aft. If you need to carry people and cargo, though, the Cube won't hold as much out back as some rivals, particularly with the rear seat in its rearmost position, which is required for adult-sized legroom. Subpar dashboard plastics also cheapen the experience., , In reviews, our editors have liked the sprightly 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and the smooth, responsive CVT. Other than a gentle ride, those are pretty much the only driving highlights, though; the Cube's high center of gravity and soggy suspension simply can't keep up with an eager right foot, and its steering is numb and slow-witted. If you tend toward the slow and steady, you may not find much to complain about. Other competitors, however, inspire far more confidence when changing directions. Overall, even for fans of these compact bricks-on-wheels, the basic Nissan Cube is an unremarkable effort.
