When I purchased my '01 about 2 years ago, gas mileage wasn't even in my mind as a requirement. I had wanted one since they came out. I had a co worker who had one and every day when her husband would pick her up in it, I wanted it to be mine. They complained about it not being quick enough and they did have the chrome wheel problem where they had to replace a wheel and I heard about that for months. Still, I wanted one. So when I found a used one, I brought it right on the spot. It's not perfect and needs some work but its mine and I enjoy driving it, that is I will again when I can get the alternator replaced (probably in a week or two).

Mines an auto and plenty quick on take off, as well as on the highway, for me. I can drive a manual just fine but prefer the automatic. I just can't see myself trying to drive, shift and talk on my two way radio all at the same time. Gas mileage, I don't know how all of you can get accurate enough to know your getting 25 or 27 or whatever. One week I'll get 25 MPG and the next it will be 19 MPG. Most weeks I don't do any more than a causal glance at how many gallons versus number of miles for the week.

Oh by the way, I have no problems with the looks of the Nissan Cube. If I was looking for that type of vehicle, I'd buy one.
