Like mentioned it is a KROM trimline with the interior lighting package.

I've already filled it up with gas three times. As always, these numbers are derived the old fashioned way with a calculator. I do reset the MPG average display with each fillup, so far it has been off by +.076 MPG.

The first tank 33.2 MPG, average speed: 39 MPH
Second tank: 30.32 MPG average speed: 34 MPH
Third Tank: 29.0 MPG average speed: 34 MPH

I came up with a little name for the carpet piece on the dashboard. I'm calling it the Cubic Hair! lol

With a little over 700 miles on it so far, it is breaking in well, the oil still looks new and everything is excellent.

I love the hands free, I was able to program my Blackberry into it without even reading the manual, I just hit the button and followed the voice prompts.

I do however wish that the phone book for the hands free held more than forty numbers, it would've been nice to just have downloaded my 60 number phone book into it all at once.

I haven't driven it hard at all since it is breaking in, but I haven't had to either. The CVT really allows the tiny engine to make short work of long steep hills. This car is fun just to cruise around at the speed limit.

Cornering; I'm really really impressed in the handlings ability of this thing, I didn't expect it to handle so well at all. I'd like to put a strut tower brace on it but that is it. The tires are quiet, very quiet, no squealing of any sort.

I'm coming from 1999 Dakota 4x4 that I traded in, which handled like a pig. So maybe this is why I am so amazed of the handling.

Anyway, the MSRP was $20320.00 and I talked them down to $19133.00. Which was around two hundred above invoice, this pleases me that I got such a good deal.

Oh and I was wrong about the package, the interior lighting package is pretty much standard with the Krom version.

This one has the interior Designer Package, which has the Cubic hair, bungees on the armrests, floor, cargo mats and the cargo cover.

Curiously, the IPOD connector will charge my 5th gen 30gb IPOD Video but it will not charge a brand new IPOD 16gb Nano.

Upon plugging it in, the thing actually said on the Nano screen that it doesn't support charging for this device.

I bought the Nano today because I can hear the hard drive in my IPOD video through the radio in my Cube. Oh well, I guess it isn't that bad. I returned the Nano.

It is a shame that the Cube doesn't just have a USB port for Ipods OR thumbdrives.

Can I ask what you paid for your Cube?

I talked them down to $19133.00

After they didn't give me hardly anything for my trade in, I figure the discount on the Cube kind of evens things out a bit.

I even Googled it and other than some medical websites, didn't see it being used to describe the carpet piece on the Cube.

I hit the break in mileage of 1200 miles on my Cube today. I have yet to need to give it more than like 70 percent throttle or let it rev past 4300 RPM.

Be careful though guys, be sure you are always near something to hold on to tomorrow as I think it might be a good day to floor it. I hope I don't stop the Earth's rotation!

Change of subject...Anyone know who owns a well modified Z32 black 300zx in San Antonio Texas? I was on a two lane freeway interchange today that went from I-10 south to I-410 East. I heard some tires screaching and looked in the mirror to see the 300ZX come hauling a** up in the right lane and take that curve like the rest of us were sitting still. He had to have been doing 80+MPH. It appeared to have some massive tires in the back. I didn't see the front long enough to tell whether or not it was TT or not. I think that it may have had an aftermarket front end as well.
