The exterior dimensions measure only an overall length (inches) of 156.7, width of: 66 inch. and overall height of: 65.0. Basically you are on par with the old Ford Escort Wagons. But you really have to see a Cube in person in order to appreciate its tininess, it sure took us by surprise. Nissan Dealer’s nationwide have them in stock…or should. As for the other goodies – Power: 91 kW, 122 HP SAE at 5,200 rpm; 127 ft lb, 172 Nm at 4,800 rpm. The Nissan Cube’s Overall Curb Weight (gross) is 2,762ibs.

The 2009 Nissan Cube S, though extremely stylish, is very low-tech, especially for a Japanese import: it contains almost zero-tech–not even MP3 CD playback. According to one online reviewer, “The best thing that can be said for it is the stock stereo should be easily replaceable.” Which is sad, seeing as part of the Cube’s anticipation was their scifi looking dashboard.

GQ magazine recently pointed out in their review of the Nissan Cube how spacious the vehicle is, for a small car anyway. It can haul “enough laundry detergent to outlast the current recession” from a New Jersey Costco. It also takes on NYC traffic with ease, thanks to its narrow figure. We like how the Cube contains ample storage space to carry your Snap-On tool chest and a case of Vitamin Water (real men drink Vitamin Water – right?) But part of being a 21st century gentleman is having style – and Nissan’s Cube has plenty of it, with its soft angles and curved, wrap around rear windows – one of the vehicle’s most notable design theories.

Like a new aged man the Cube has not only style, it has grace, and it’s also a little weird. The 1.8 liter engine isn’t amazingly over-powered, but you don’t need to prove yourself with machismo in today’s world. You need sensibility with only a hint of danger. And Cube has it. Oh, and you also need a dash of cuteness, and since Nissan modeled the vehicle after a bulldog, we can absolutely see that…
