This is an interesting vehicle that follows the a similar shaped car, known as the SCION this too is square in shape and to most people it would seem to be a complete waste of time, because after all who wants to drive around in a car that is square.
Apparently, there are some fans of this shape of car and it can work well when a team of import builders get their hands on it. In fact, the square shape of the car gives the team more to work with; there are no small spaces that are such a waste of time to mess around with. While this Nissan Cube demands and design that requires big and bold statements.
Currently you will get around 122 HP out this 1.8L model which is about the same as old lady riding on their bike, so a little under hood tampering is needed to boost that up a few notches until it reaches something a little bit more respectable, like 400 HP or something!

Driving Impressions: Smooth and easy. Not particularly fast, but then again, that’s not why you’d buy a Cube. If you’re looking for speed, pray for another $10k in financing and get something else. If you’re looking for something practical with a lot of cool, the Cube is for you.
Tunability: It shares the Versa platform so there ought to be some suspension carryover. But then again, how many fixed up Versas have you seen? The Cube’s out in Japan so there’s hope yet.
