I agree with you Danth on CVT. I hate them too. It's really my only gripe about my subaru. I know Nissan is in hot water for their 'jUNKo' transmissions but my wife's cube is approaching 200k miles and we have only had to change the oil so far. I know it's due for a few things we should get on but it's still running great.

I warned you about the CVT. They're alright for some usages, like riding lawnmowers, but somewhat out of place in cars IMO. The Cube's a perfectly good little car, I agree. It's also been out of production for awhile; Nissan's problems are somewhat more recent. I expect they'll turn it around.

On a related note, I find it somehow hilarious that Chrysler first got bought by Fiat, and now merged with Peugeot. It's as if unreliability attracts itself.

I'm a little jealous that you can LIKE things like the Cube or a Subaru. I get in them and they feel so dreary and spartan. My idea of nice vehicles is 60's and 70's-style luxury cars with soft rides and plush seats. Can't find anything like that anymore; the last gasp of that style died out in the early 90's. Cost-cutting and the move to international platforms killed the American car.
