Nissan Cube 1.8 S 2014

While many small hatchbacks and wagons promise good fuel economy, usable cargo space and affordable prices, maybe that’s not enough for you. Some shoppers want a bit more style, and that’s where a funky-looking car like the 2014 Nissan Cube comes in. Indeed, your gut reaction to the Cube’s boxy shape and asymmetrical window layout will probably have the biggest impact on whether you decide to buy one.

Apart from its styling, this four-door wagon offers several positive attributes. Base versions of the Cube come equipped with must-haves like Bluetooth, air-conditioning and cruise control, so you don’t have to pay for expensive options to make it livable for daily commuting. Further, the rear seats both recline and slide fore and aft, which is useful on days that you’re carpooling. Ride comfort is another of the Nissan Cube’s strong points, and thanks to its small size, it’s highly maneuverable in crowded cities.
