Jokes aside, I rented a dark red Nissan Cube for a few days on a snowy weekend in February 2013. It was either the Cube or the Chevy Spark. I thought the Cube was better for snow so I chose that.
I was surprised by it. Sure the CVT was noisy, but the car handled okay, accelerated and braked fine, and got much better gas mileage than the EPA ratings. It also had so much space for luggage. Also, I drove it around at Penn State. Lots of students checked out the car.
In the end, I started to like the Cube, but I would still never buy one.
