My GF's 15 year old daughter loves this car. Looks like I'm taking them to the next car show.

I would have expected the average fuel economy observed to be quite better than 23 mpg. That's just 2 mpg better than my average in an eleven-year old sporty sedan with 190 hp.

The best was 39.3, can you do that?

I look at Edmunds numbers as a worst case example of mileage and is not representative of what regular folks get in the real world.

I'll bet 30 mpg is a better guess of what it will get than 23.

I think this will be more popular with young people then the Element was. We all know the Element was a bigger hit with old folks but I think that had a lot to do with the price.

The Cube (and the Soul) look to be starting $10,000 CDN less the Element and that's what matters most to young people.

(Sorry but I can't comment on who bought Scions as they were never sold in Canada)

I'm a 25yo single male and I think I'm part of the market Nissan is trying to appeal to. I really think they hit the target, as I love this car!

The Element was too big and the first Scion XB had some appeal, but I couldn't get over the huge front bumper. The new Soul is nice, but it seems a tad dull.

That leaves the Cube. It has plenty of room, has more funky style for nights going out on the town, it's smaller than the others so fits in city parking spaces better, and at $14k is a bargain!

I honestly haven't been this excited in a car for years and would consider buying it. Just have to see how it drives

the thing with box shaped vehicles is that they have the shape, you guessed it, a box... and a box is not very aerodynamic... the faster boxes like this are driven, the worse the mpg will be...!
