A Four-Door Hatchback Nissan Cube 2009

People in Japan for decades, but small-large cars like the Cube offers an impressive number of passenger and cargo space compared to their small footprint outside. The Cube is the last to invade the United States. The sharing of DNA refers to the manipulation of the Cube is quite sluggish because of its soft, long travel suspension.

But it also means that the Cube is a comfort, a 122-Peppy engine power and the availability of a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), which is the best example of this technology gearless transmission equipped with an economy car. The compact 2009 Nissan Cube is a four-door hatchback is offered in base, S and SL trim levels Krom. S adds color-keyed sideview mirrors, cruise control, updating of furnishings, dual visor mirrors, two rear speakers and a lid. The SL adds 16-inch alloy wheels, CVT, automatic climate control, a pair of tweeters, the integration of iPod, MP3 player and automatic capability on / off headlights.

The front-wheel-drive 2009 Nissan Cube comes with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 122 hp and 127 lb-ft of torque. The basic Cube and Cube S come standard with a six-speed manual. Optional on S and standard on SL and Krom is a CVT. The acceleration is better than most competitors, with the CVT-equipped Cube-0-60 mph takes 9.7 seconds performance.

The Cube basic design of the cabin has soft curves and shapes that are slightly different type of hard-edged style used by most competitors. The standard climate control is the old school, but experienced three buttons style (the automatic option is more complex), no-frills stereo has large keys and cruise control is easy to thumb buttons on the steering wheel. Although the Cube is quite pleasant in the city and on the road (except for some wrinkling wind at higher speeds), just be quick fall of its leader? poor handling. Running through rapid transitions, the too-light steering is slow and soft, long travel suspension tuning that provides plush ride body can also drive more than we would like, making the Cube feel like a dancer who has a beat or two behind the music.
