[Thirty-Nine]

I just posted my review of the '09 Cube on my Web site, Subcompact Culture. You can read it here:

I really liked my time with the Cube; I don't want to give it back!

Nice, fair review. Two things: you may want to clarify that the R-F sound system is optional and it has been crashed tested.

how do you like it compared to the current xB and Soul?

I haven't driven an "xB2," truthfully. I can tell you I'm not a fan of the xB2's looks, and I think it's too thirsty. I shouldn't comment too much since I haven't driven one. I am, admittedly, a bit jaded. I had a first-gen xB and loved it, and think Scion/Toyota should've brought over the new bB from Japan instead of the xB2. I suppose I should get over it, too.

The Soul is at the opposite end of the spectrum compared to the Cube. It rides stiffly, has big, wide 18" wheels, and handles well. It's not as refined as the Cube, and wasn't as comfortable inside, either. The Soul offers a lot of car for the money, though.
