Default 2009 Nissan cube! Test drive and review.

Ok so I drove a 09 cube today. First let me say this car looks great in person. Me and my girlfriend drove a silver cube 1.8 SL with the dark gray 16" wheels. It rides low and suspension is smooth. What I liked was the options and price. The car was priced at $16,700 sumthin, it had 16" dark grey alloys wheels power windows locks, cd, window vent visors, CVT auto trans, and a great rear seat that slides reclines and folds away. Overall we were impressed, drove about 10-15 miles city/hwy. It's does not shift and wow that feels weird and the steering wheel does not give any feedback at all btw. The wheels look good but I was picturing it with some 16x8" rims slamed. I should have got pix but did not, I did grab a brochure and the dealership was not pushy at all and was very helpfull. Hit me up if ya got questions. Were thinking of adding a car to the family and the cube is at the top of my list (btw I would much perfer a cube over a xB 2ndGen, but not a 1st Gen). Overall I'd give the car a 8/10 for a review. #1 feature style and my least favorite feature seats are non-supportive.

really, b/c the nissan dealer here never gets them in, or at least in long enough for my dad and I to go test drive. They must get sold out real quick.

The problem is if the dealership customer base doesn't drive them or even want them, the dealership feels it's a waste of space to even keep 'em on the lot. When a customer does want one, the dealership will search other dealerships in the surrounding area or even states, to get one.

We currently have 2 GTRs, that we've had for almost 6 months, that don't sell!

Seems similar to our local dealership. They've had 2 GTRs as well for a while. I see what your saying though, there probably wont be someone just randomly walking in and deciding to buy a 370z. Its probably more useful for them to keep more practical cars on the lot. Thanks for the insight.
