Anybody here have a Nissan Cube?
If so, what's the deal with the squirrel fur on the dashboard? Just noticed that on one in the parking lot. :)

2. Hey! I LOVE my Cube.
The shag holds my sunglasses and junk without
scratching. I can also slip stuff under the edges
of it (CDs and paperwork).

My Cube gets 36 miles highway/31 City per gallon.

Sometimes people have a visceral hatred of it (mostly boys),
I guess because it's square.

The ladies LOVE it, sometimes coming up to me in
parking lots or at stop signs to ask about it.

One lovely feature is that you can get in and out
of it without stepping up or down.

I get in and out of my car DOZENS of times a day
and I can just kind of roll in and out.

3. Yeah, but it's still fucking ugly. It looks like the delivery truck from the cartoon version of....
..."101 Dalmations" that Horris and Jasper use.

4. Cute.
Its adorable.




And it has WAY more headroom and space in the rear than
other sub-compacts.

I have two teenagers and a husband to drag around...

7. Looks like somebody only paid for the "French" bikini wax...
...instead of the full Brazilian job.

8. My mom was given one as a rental.
She called it "the toaster".

9. Is that standard equipment, or do you pay extra for a dashboard toupee?

11. To each their own I say, but don't those "A" pillars drive you crazy?
Based on the view in the picture it looks like they create a tremendous view obstruction.

12. Dont know what you mean by "A" pillars.
If you mean the sticker on the windshield,
that's not a picture of my car.

I just used it to show the red accents
that were extra.

My car's interior is light grey & white
with red accents --- very Swiss.

The headroom in this car is why I
was persuaded to buy it.

My two teenage daughters are both
over 5 10"....all the other compact
cars were CLAUSTROPHOBIAVILLE in the
back seat area.

13. "A" pillars are the metal structures that connect the roof to the body at the windshield,
From the picture perspective it looks like they would be very much in your field of vision.

14. No more than in any other car I've ever driven.
The view is great.
