In the Driveway: 2009 Nissan Cube 1.8 SL - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thirty-Nine · 08-25-2009, 02:05 PM

Just took delivery of a 2009 Nissan Cube 1.8 SL for review. I haven't driven it yet. More later!

mrbond · 08-25-2009, 02:23 PM

Wait, you bought this for yourself? Or you received one purely for the sake of a review?

^ I concur... I never was a fan of "box on wheels"

I saw one of these on the road for the first time the other day. It was being driven by an ugly, oily and obese teenage girl who had other ugly, oily and obese teenage girls for passengers.

The first thought that came to my usually-kind mind was, "At least they found an aquarium sanctuary for the sick whales.".

i drove the 6spd

I found it to be slugish getting up to speed on the highway, it shifted nice and smooth though. I like the other gens better then this one

I was super excited when this came out, but after driving it, it was a huge let down

congrats, i hope the suzuki is still around.....

I think I'm the only person on the forums that thinks this car is really attractive. No, it's not a beauty queen, but just like the WRX was attractive in its way, this is attractive. The assymetry and its constant ripple motif and the design inspirations (y'all should really look those up) give the car so much character. I see a lot of potential.

Nope. None of that stuff. Runs great, handles great, get's lot of complements and twice the room of my old Yaris. simply stated, it's twice the car with half the plastic.

pennyracer · 08-25-2009, 05:52 PM

ugly as hell good luck maybe you can make it look like a scion xb to get some respect :)

pennyracer · 08-25-2009, 05:54 PM

oh ya this is a yaris site no nissans ever :)

*tomato* · 08-25-2009, 05:55 PM

Awww...all those negative comments .. poor car!!!

I'm not a big fan of the boxy look myself but there is a market for these and you gotta admit that is one shiny car, with a beatiful paint job.

Let us know how it drives!

kustom play · 08-25-2009, 05:58 PM

they should of had this here in the us when scion rolled out the XB

the gen before this one looked really cool, they rounded it out and killed it. Same thing scion did with the 2nd gen xb, I dont know how they made something so cool look so stupid
