The Nissan Cube is still fairly new to the American market, but they have been in production far longer than the 2009 model year that is now available to American consumers. You have probably seen one of the interesting cars driving around town. It looks like a box that has been placed on four wheels and surprisingly enough it is very economical, even with the shape’s wind drag on the highway. The Cube has actually been in production since at least 1998, and if you look through the listings of used car exporters you will notice that they did not always have that boxy look.
Nissan Cube is very deceptive in that it really is a roomy vehicle. It is only a foot shorter than the Mazda MX-5 and Mercedes-Benz S class and it has more cargo space than either of them. It also has a lot of head and shoulder space as well as foot room, making it one of the best selling cars coming off of the Nissan line even if its shape is a bit unconventional by other car standards.
Nissan redesigned the Cube for the Japanese market prior to exporting it for the 2009 model year. Some models have a 1.4 liter engine while others come with a 1.8 liter engine. The redesign for the 2009 model was mostly cosmetic in nature and pertained to the surface detailing of the exterior. Lighter than most vehicles at 2,530 pounds, it gets 40 miles to the gallon on the highway even with its limited top speed of 85 miles per hour. It even comes equipped standard with an all wheel drive option in a small motor at the back called the e-4WD. The e-4WD turns the rear wheels of the Cube when engaged, allowing you to get out of snow or mud easily.
The Cube is already being touted as the car design of the future, and most of the consumers that own one are women. If you are looking to get a cheap Cube, then consider going to a Japanese used car exporter to buy one. Someone like PicknBuy24.com is the perfect place to go. They offer buyers the shipping fee and warranty of a cheap Cube already rolled into the price of the Nissan Cube listed on their site, something other exporters do not do. Currently they have Cubes from model years 1998 to 2006 on their lot waiting to be purchased, and their prices range from $950 to $9,150.
