Why should I also consider these?
At about 157 inches long, the 2009 Nissan Cube lands, size-wise, with the last-generation Scion xB.
The xB introduced for 2008 is quite a bit larger and heavier than both the Cube and the last xB, but it doesn't feel any roomier.
The xB does, however, feel heftier and might be a bit more stable on the highway, but its fuel economy isn't as good as the Cube's.
Visibility is also an issue in the xB.
Scion's smaller xD is sized very closely with the Cube, but it doesn't have nearly as much backseat space or cargo room.
Then there's the new 2010 Kia Soul, which has a boxy but slightly more conventional appearance that many might prefer to the Cube's especially quirky look.
Relative to the Cube, the Soul is the driving enthusiasts' choice; it handles well even if it doesn't have a lot of power.
The Soul isn't as refined as the Cube, though.
Yet another option is the Chevrolet HHR; though larger than the Cube, the HHR feels more cramped inside, and the HHR's tired retro design and rental-car interior is less likely to appeal to young fashionistas.
