For such a small vehicle, the Cube has lots of room up front and plenty of room in back. The tall roof makes the cube feel cavernous and spacious. Huge windows let in a tonne of light. (Andrew Pollreis/AUTONET)

Getting the Cube moving begins with a push of a button, and starts up the 1.8-litre four-banger. Hooked up to an Xtronic CVT, the Cube puts out 122 horsepower and 127 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s just enough jam to get you going at a decent enough speed, if you can tolerate the buzzy engine noise from the engine/CVT combo. (Andrew Pollreis/AUTONET)

The Cube's leather wrapped steering wheel has a tilt/telescopic function, but doesn’t do enough of either motion to provide me a good driving position. I might be a little on the large side for this kind of car, but not everyone is under tall. (Andrew Pollreis/AUTONET)

Strange looks aside, the Nissan Cube does have some good qualities. First and foremost, a simple name. The kids normally call the weekly test drive by the colour, but this time it was "Let's take the Cube! Are we driving in the Cube? Can we take the Cube to school?" Guess the kids find it cool.

The design is something that can either be considered futuristic or disco ‘70s ... take your pick. As a people mover it does a good job. Maybe I’ve lost my ‘cool’ like many others I spoke with, but the Cube’s design is an acquired taste. (Andrew Pollreis/AUTONET)
