I have one and absolutely love it.

I'm a big guy - 6'5" and 255lbs, so there are very few cars I actually fit in well enough to be comfortable driving. The interior of the cube is HUGE!!!! Unlike many trucks and SUVs that seem to be made for tiny women to get behind the wheel.

I'm not a car guy, and could honestly give a shit what my car looks like. To me it's a tool to get myself and my family around. So these were the qualities I was looking for:

1) Cheap
2) great mpg - currently getting ~32mpg city driving
3) I fit in it.
4) I can get my whole family in and my boys will be able to fit in the back as they get older (youngest is projected to be > 6' 8" ).
5) Reliable - too soon to tell but since it's Nissan it should be pretty good.
6) Safe - good crash test reports
7) Bonus - can get my mountain bike somewhere without having to take off both wheels.

The cube fit these requirements to a tee. I do have to take off my front wheel on my bike, but that's no biggee. The look has grown on me, and I must say I used to get lots of double takes and the car is huge hit with people under 30.
