Nissan has opened up the warranty on the CVT, now 10 years or 100,000 miles. And any problems prior to this new warranty they will go back and pick up the tab. I own a 2009 Cube (LS) and could not be more pleased. 29 mpg in the city. I have installed a (K&N) air system from Stillen and also a Stillen Cat-back muffler and it's preformance has been greatly improved. Thanks Nissan, look out XB's

Great review Andy!

I'd be weary of Nissans CVT transmissions though. I've read about quite a few failures both in warranty and outside. When outside of the warranty things get VERY costly quickly.

Yes, a six-speed is the optional transmission. The addition of another gear should allow for better ratios and increased fuel economy.

great review, thanks for sharing. I am a huge nissan fan, but can't stand the look of this car. I own an Element and love the xB so it's not just the shape that throws me off. Guess I don't know what it is!

I am curious to try out a CVT transmission sometime, seems like interesting technology. On another note, is the manual option really a 6 speed? I guess I don't see why you need that many gears in this car with only a 1.8L engine.

If your compact has armrests but no cup holder this is a simple and quick solution.

They're on eBay (with free shiping), but they're also on Amazon (I think a bit more expensive though). The wife mentioned she got ours on the website I linked to, and said she used promo code "$5off" but it was a while ago.

Thanks, spencer. I look forward to seeing what the...

Thanks, spencer. I look forward to seeing what the aftermarket will bring to the Cube. I know it's been popular in Japan with customizers. Maybe this year's SEMA show will feature some goodies (although I understand that Nissan USA will not be there this year).

Great review Andy!

True - it is not a driver's car, but as you pointed out it is not meant to be. I guess with some addons, you could make it more of a driver's car (lowered, strut bar, a little power upgrade), but I'm perfectly fine with it as is :)
