We are still impressed with the Cube's interior space and its ability to carry people of all sizes in comfort.

As we wrap up seven months with the Nissan Cube, we are still impressed with the Cube's interior space and its ability to carry people of all sizes in comfort. Associate editor Eric Tingwall, our resident giant at well over six feet tall, spent some time in the Cube's rear quarters and came away surprisingly uncramped. "Headroom is cavernous and with the sliding rear bench in their rearward-most position, legroom was adequate." He was particularly impressed with the fact that the rear seats can be moved forward and aft and recline, saying "these features seem like something previously found on much more expensive vehicles."
