Handling on the cube is actually quite nice. I've never driven for anything more than what it is intended for, daily commuting, so I can't give you an opinion on handling from a performance point of view.

It does have go-kart like feel to it though. We have a CVT model and it was weird to get used to it at first. Pretty much you don't feel as if the transmission is shifting gears. So there isn't that slight tug/push feel when accelerating. Also, electric throttle control was awkward for me.

Power is spot on perfect for a car of its size. I can cruise at 65 and when need to I press a little harder and 80 comes up fairly quick. Plus the CVT tends to put you in the sweet spot when necessary it seems.

Personally the only downside on the car for me has been the very boring arrangement of the stereo unit and the climate control (non-digital) unit. I wish they had given it some "techy" flair of some sort as most cars have now (i.e. Kia Soul).

Oh and I'm not a fan of the material used for the seats or the headliner. It attracts dirt, hair (we have a dog), and stains very easily. Hopefully this Summer I upgrade to leather covers and I plan on wrapping the headliner in something more appealing as well.

Sound system is quite nice too. We don't have the upgraded sound system with the sub-woofer in the 5th door panel, but I bet once we get an aftermarket unit it'll be even better.

Can't beat the space and comfort as well. I really do like this car and hope Nissan don't change to much on it in the coming years, but improvements are always welcomed.
