i got one finally. it was the second one from the dealer. i was shooting for the first but was waiting on nissan to give me my discount. i'm a mechanic for nissan so i got a nice price on it. but ya i love the car. and i get looks and so many comments on how people like the thing. its all black, have all the opions it can come with exept the lights inside and the spoiler. been looking for some lowering springs for it and some 18's all ready.

Awesome!! Congrats on the purchase.

What do you think of it so far? How's the drive and handling?

Please post pictures if you have a chance.

Congrats, that black really looks good when it shines! What trim line did you get?

I'm curious though, since you are a Nissan mechanic and just bought one. I've noticed a couple second long slow hesitation when flooring mine(cvt) from a stop. It is all broken in now and I just noticed it two days ago when I had to get in front of someone pulling away from a stop light. I'm guessing that it is either the traction control or the CVT taking its time building up the RPM's. Someone else told me it is probably the drive by wire throttle???

Thanks and congrats again on the Cube!

I may order a spoiler for mine. And fog lights.

I didn't need all the extra stuff on the SL.

Just got my Cube on Monday. Get's a lot of looks going down the interstate. Those of you that have the Ipod interface, is there any way to scroll through it faster. It takes forever when you have 5,000 songs.

Could be an issue of the CVT or maybe just the engine's lack of torque?

Just got my Cube Friday. Love it already. It takes a bit of getting used to - I had a Murano - but it's definitely a fun car.

Mongoose - I don't believe there is a faster way. I would suggest hitting the iPod menu button and scrolling through artists or go to playlists if you have playlists set up. I also found that you can't use shuffle unless you turn on your iPod and start the playlist in shuffle mode, then plug it in. But I could be wrong, I have only been monkeying with it for a few days

Got mine on Saturday after trading in my 97 Q45 with "cash for clunker" program. Mine is a base model but has all features I need such as MT. I will upgrade the sound system and wheels in the future.

Loving it so far. I am still surprise how good the interior is and quiet the car drives when compare to my 2001 Civic. The fit and finish is an A+.

Just concern about the crash score though.
