2009 Nissan Cube Wagon 1.8 Base 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
Poor quality - 2009 Nissan Cube 6 speed
 I like the appearance of the car,  it looks refreshing and innovative.   However,  I knew the CVT would be a major headache down the road,  so I chose the 6 speed version.  Unfortunately,   other problems developed pre-maturely:  the muffler and the exhaust pipe fell off due to a rusted connection at 45000 miles,  5 years.  Replacing the entire assembly costs over $850,  I have never owned any car with the muffler system lasting only 45000 miles or less than 5 years,  and it costs so much to fix.   To add insult to injury, during the hottest days of the season this year,  the air conditioning failed.  This is a poorly made car,  with below average quality control. I believe this model was terminated last year.  Need I say more ?  But I have to say to myself,  beauty is only skin deep !!
