I've got a Z12 Cube (UK car). I paid £7k nearly 10 years ago and it's been a great buy. I love the way it looks and it can take 5 people comfortably. The performance isn't bad at all and it handles surprisingly well. It's not my only car but it would be a great option for a daily driver for a lot of people. Most jelly mould loving Brits couldn't get their head round the quirky styling but hey ... their loss!

It was mentioned that the ride was quite hard. Note that this car had aftermarket wheels with quite low profile tyres. A standard car is soft, smooth and comfortable. We've had a Cubic for the last year and I absolutely love it! Great movie :o)

Until you own a car with one and it fails when the stick won't pull out of park, like my Dodge Caliber- yes, a Nissan Jatco CVT. These are unrepairable and a replacement unit cost like double the value of the car. 300 saw it towed and 7k down the toilet.

I have always liked the Cube as it’s so bonkers. It’s so much an exercise in function over form and it’s all the better for it. The most modern interpretation almost of the Defender. And in all my years of stereo work, I’ve never seen a Triple DIN stereo space! Would a Honda SMX be a rival I wonder? Great review Matt!

Cubes are just brilliant, nearly worth buys just for the novelty factor. In other news ... My wife has a Peugeot 1007 1.6 Sports with a tiptronic semi-automatic gearbox. Very small, fairly rare, loads of cubby holes, electric sliding doors and very quirky. She's always being asked about it by people who see it, especially when they see the doors opening. You should give one a go and see what you think. :)

I've bottled out of buying one of these MANY times for some reason. I LOVE the Cube. I love most things Japanese anyway, but this wee gem is one of the most multi-purpose cars you can buy for the money. It's different (which REALLY appeals to me) and puts a smile on your face when you see one. I'm driving a Renault Zoe 22kwh EV right now, and now that I'm single and no longer have access to a longer range car, I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these after all these years (I'm 51 now). I have 17" Clio alloys on my Zoe right now that I refurbed from eBay and they would fit right onto the Cube! I'd need to have a black one, as I'm a Trekkie, so I can have a BORG CUBE, with "Resistance is Futile" graphics down the side lol. Yes I'm a child. That's why I love the Cube :)

I loved my 2010 stick shift cube here in Texas, had it long enough for my daughter to learn how to drive a stick (only less than 2% of USA cars now have a stick shift), I would have bought another had they still been for sale in 2017, For me part of the reason I bought it was just fitting in the vehicle at 6'' 7" barefoot, I don't fit in many cars and small trucks. My Cube was rated at 42.5 inches of headroom. Turned out that wide back door and space was also very useful.

I'm almost certain those outlets in the boot are just standard 12v car accessory sockets. It says max 20A, in other words they will supply a maximum current of 20 Amps! I stand to be corrected, of course, but I can't see how 20 volt outlets could be useful as it's not a standard voltage for car accessories, or pretty much anything, for that matter. :-). Edit: It’s already been pointed out by others, I should have read further down the replies!

I have one of these as a daily commuter. 7 litre/100km city and 4.9 litre/100km on the open road. You missed the adjustable back seat rake, 5 settings and if you lower the centre arm rest makes for a pleasurable drive. Mine has the cloth fabric seats. Great value for money and super easy access.
@user-vu7rv1xf1l
@user-vu7rv1xf1l Год назад
Is that fuel efficient or not? Sorry I'm not that savvy. I am hoping to get one of these as a first time driver, but a bit worried about the CTV breaking down. Any ideas?
@davidmoynahan9585
@davidmoynahan9585 Год назад
7 litre/100km is 33.6 mpg US or 40 mpg UK 4.9 litre/100km is 48 mpg US or 57.6 mpg UK. As for the CVT, yes they will fail. Everything man made will fail at some time. At 90,000km (56,000 miles) I had mine serviced. New filter, screen and 8.3 litre of approved CVT fluid. Check the manufacturer plate in the engine bay for the transmission model. As the transmission pan has to be removed for the filter and screen replacement, there are two magnets to trap fine metal particles. Depending on the mileage and use will show up in what's on the magnets. Basically service the transmission like you service the engine. Depending on your usage, 30 to 50,000 miles should be good. If you're not comfortable with this, then choose another vehicle with a conventional auto.
@volvo480
@volvo480 2 года назад
I wonder if the rear opening is reversed on LHD cars. Oh by the way, those outlets are not carrying 20 volt. They are 12 volt and rated at 20 amps each. Which is quite a lot, the one in my Volvo V70 will blow its fuse over 10 amps.
@GoldenCroc
@GoldenCroc 2 года назад

@michaeltutty1540
@michaeltutty1540 2 года назад
No, the tailgate was not reversed for left hand drive examples. That had large drawbacks, as you can imagine. The side opening gate also meant that if someone parked to close to the back end the tailgate would not open enough to be at all useable.

Had the USA import Cube in 2010. We loved it. We had the higher end model with climate control, beautiful seats with soft cloth and ipod interface builtin to the head unit. Came with 16 inch wheels and low profile tires. Was so very comfortable. Problem was lousy in snow of which we have lots of in the winter so we upgraded to an all wheel drive vehicle. I miss it and I am on the lookout for a decent used one.

@@bradaltemeyer4472 I think it was more to do with the "eastern" type of snow that we have. Often very icey along with being sometimes slushy with zero traction.

It's a cross between a mini-mpv and a light small van seats folded flat. You could use it for light delivery work during the week and take 5 people away for the weekend with the boot loaded. An oddball Nissan but useful too. The DCi diesel engines version, sourced from Renault, is the best choice on the used market if you're going to take 5 adults and loads regularly as the economy is better and it can cope fully loaded far better than the petrol version, for which you will constantly fuel up and throw fivers and tenners away.

Read about the CVT transmissions so I changed the fluid dropped the pan cleaned the magnets and the screen. I don't think the fluid was ever changed 135,000 miles on it. It's making a little noise here and there hopefully it'll last a while longer with a new fluid change

Best I can recall, there was a cult following for the 1985 onwards Chevrolet Astro "minivan" and its sibling GMC Safari. The GM vehicles reputedly inspired the Cube, as well as the Toyota bB and US-market Scion xB. Possibly the Honda Element as well. I haven't seen many Cube models on North American roads. I first spotted one in a parking garage in Canada, unaware that it had actually entered the market, and later found out that it did, and that it was available as you say in the USA. It certainly is function with typical Japanese attention to clever and useful details, but personally, the styling isn't to my taste.

I never knew the Z11 had so much smart design compared to the Z12 which ditched much of the smart 😅 Just bought a Z12 a month ago, and I really like how comfortable and quiet it is. It's missing some clever storage space imo, and it has 11(!) cup/bottle holders, counting the driver side vent holder as one, haha Also, depending on what kind of space you're after I reckon the Yaris Verso is a better bang for the buck cargo-wise. I will most likely keep my Verso just for the reason of cargo space, it's basically a tiny van! Not nearly as comfy and quiet though.

Sure, it meant nobody could sit in the back, but that was largely true even with the seats fully back given the size of the interior!

I like these cuboid Japanese things. It's rather like the original philosophy with the Mini, getting the maximum use of space while taking up the minimal amount of space.

I’ve always loved the look of this car but I’d never have one. I took a taxi with one from Falmouth to Truro railway station once. I sunk into that sofa in the back and we weren’t more than about half way to Truro when I started to feel very, very carsick…🥴🤢🤮. Fortunately I managed not to redecorate the interior of the car, but boy it was close ! I NEVER get carsick and haven’t been since (must’ve been about 15 - 20 years ago now). It had brown velours seats and heavily tinted windows as I remember. Maybe you should try it as a passenger in the back ? Or maybe best not…

More and more people are importing the Nissan Cube to the UK. They are not as common as Vauxhall Corsa but I do see Cubes driving around relatively often.

These are fun, quirky and practical. However get the standard 4 speed auto. The CVT was not very reliable. When the CVT gives up, you have to replace themas they are too expensive to fix.

CVT gearboxes in seconds gen Cubes are reliable.

@@de_ruso . The Jatco cvt boxes are shite, well known for poor reliability. They are just not robust enough.

In the early 00s I bought a new Berlongo mpv - yes a with windows - because it was so square and didn't wate space. This Cube, or the Honda/Toyota(Scion?) equivalents would've been better still imo if they'd been sold in the UK.

The name March is not only for Japan as you stated. March is used in whole Asia.

Fun fact.. the cup holder is more of a water bottle holder and is designed so the air con vent can open and keep the water bottle cool.. unlike us Brits the Japanese do not drive with cups of tea or coffee.

I like it, and I'm really conservative about cars.. I like the angular grille better then this one with round lights.
