If you’re looking for something small, fun and inexpensive that expresses your desire to not blend in with the crowd, the 2012 Nissan Cube 5-door wagon is a great start. The great gas mileage, roomy and versatile cargo area, and fun option choices simply sweeten the deal.
The Cube is a great urban commuter, but if you plan on doing some light off-road trips or weekend ski trips, you’d be much better off in something like the 2012 Suzuki SX4. Those seeking more power and bit more polish might want to look at the more expensive Mini Cooper Clubman or Countryman, or even the Nissan Juke.
