First, let me say I have been looking for a new car for over two years now. I have a Nissan Altima I got for a song in 2001. It's been an okay car but some annoying breakages (including having my brakes completely fail while driving) had me saying "no more Nissan". We're a Honda family, so I've been looking hard at the Fit and the new Insight, as well as another boring Civic (I loved both models I owned, but have always wanted something that is a bit more stylish/dorky) and have also thought about Scions. The new XB is nice inside, but poor mileage and exterior styling don't excite me like the previous generation.
I figured I'd be in an Insight or Fit. But after looking at the Cube, I'm drawn to it. So I have some questions for those who have one:
1. What did you consider before the Cube?
2. Why did you purchase the Cube?
3. Is the cargo space behind the seats enough for a grocery run and the rest of our needs (this is my biggest concern right now)
4. Is the lack of a flat loading floor an issue?
5. What kind of MPG are you getting and with what type of driving (are you a hypermiler, a speed demon, etc.) I drive speed limit or a bit above out of habit (my car tends to feel like it is coming apart at 65+).
6. Does Nissan's mixed reliability record bother you?
7. If you have the upgraded stereo, how does it compare to others you've heard in the same class?
8. What do others think of your purchase?
9. What do you like most?
10. What do you like least?
