2009 NISSAN
CUBE
| 
|
The 2009 Nissan Cube is a stand out in terms of style
while offering practicality and fuel efficiency.
Fun function is the objective
inside, with a sliding second row seat that rises as it travels rearward. The
Cube seats five people. The cargo door opens to curbside, making it better for
loading and unloading at the airport.
A defining design theme is that
of water droplets. A quick look at the speakers or headliner ripples emanating
from the cabin light will show exactly what we mean. Clear, concise gauges ride
in the wavy dashboard, while an unusual climate control panel graces the center
panel. Useful details include removable multi hooks for cargo, stylish
cupholders and available Bluetooth, Intelligent Key/pushbutton start, XM radio,
iPod interface, rear park assist, and a Rockford-Fosgate sound system.
Cube
uses the same 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine used in the Versa rated at 122
horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. It's coupled to a six-speed manual or
continuously variable transmission. The CVT automatic gets slightly better
mileage than a conventional automatic. We expect EPA fuel economy ratings to
range from 25 to 27 mpg in the city, 30 to 33 mpg on the highway. So the Cube is
inexpensive to operate.
A long wheelbase relative to its length suggests the Cube
ride will be chop-free, and the tight turning circle and electrically assisted
steering should make parking child's play.
Safety equipment includes six
airbags and electronic stability control, which incorporates traction control
and anti-lock brake management. Power locks and windows, intermittent front and
rear wipers are standard along with all sorts of witty design elements and
gadgets.
The 2009 Nissan Cube is offered in 1.8, 1.8 S and 1.8 SL models with
equipment and price expanding alongside the character count. Dealer accessories
will allow further personal customizing touches, including bits like wheels, pet
blankets, and illumination kits.

Spring Cleaning &
Car Care With winter at long last fading into the warmer and
longer days of spring, people often find great relief in opening the windows to
take some fresh air into the house. Hearing the birds chirping and the melting
of snow means that old man winter has finally gone home. If opening the door of
your car brings forth anything but spring fresh air, it may be time to consider
some spring cleaning. Keeping a motor vehicle clean not only keeps your ride
looking good, but can even help save a few bucks down the road.
Inside Out
Cleaning up and removing all the collected winter junk inside the
vehicle will lighten its load. Taking extra weight out of the vehicle will help
to achieve better mileage. Once the floor can actually be seen again, removing
the floor mats and giving them a good hose and dry will help bring springtime
fresh back to even the crustiest of interiors.
Keeping Flexible
Winter is tough on painted finishes. Road salt along with
snow and ice can dry out the paint and cause it to lose flexibility and shine.
Just because winter has been long and chilly doesn't mean the sun hasn't been
beating down on the paint. Paint harming UV rays don't care if it's hot or cold
outside. A good wash and wax will get rid of winter road grime and help keep
paint flexible looking new. Protection from the hot sun and deluge of rain is an
afternoon away.
Underlying
Problems
All that road salt that took 39 gallons of window washer
fluid and a new set of heavy-duty wiper blades to keep off the windshield also
did a good job getting way up under the vehicle. The oxidation process that
causes rust likes the summer just as much as winter, and will not be taking
vacation. Hosing down the underside of the vehicle with cool clean water can
help get rid of road salt and keep rust from setting in. Allow for brakes and
everything else hot to cool completely before hosing. Hot brake rotors can warp
if sprayed with cold water.
Spoken
Words
Road salt does a number on painted, unfinished, and
clear-coated aluminum wheels. Getting rid of the colleted crud will help prevent
corrosion from setting in over the summer. While modern chemistry promises
miracle cleaning, nothing beats a brush and a hose. Now is also a good time to
change back from those expensive snow tires to the usual all-season or summer
radials. Without snow or ice the snow tires can't take the heat and will wear
quickly. Wheel corrosion and the ongoing expense of mounting and dismounting
tires is also a good reason to consider a set of dedicated and hopefully less
expensive steel wheels for snow tires.
Boiling
Over
Ever notice all the steaming over cars on the side of the
road on the first warm day of the year? A marginal cooling system that works OK
in sub-zero temperatures will give up at the first sign of summer heat. Inspect
the cooling system hoses, coolant, and radiator cap now before the real heat
comes. As long as the hood is open checking the oil, belts, battery and other
wear items isn't a bad idea either.
