[Guest]

Please tell me you didn't join up just to make that comment...

Looks like this thread isn't about the cube now but a free for all by some post whores of SAU...

[Iron Chef]

Damn that looks heaps like me!!

[llama_au]

haha

I almost decided on a Cube today, but a few things about it didn't seem right.

My search continues. Want Cube now.

[Iron Chef]

There are plenty in Japan

[llama_au]

Not plenty that look exactly how I want for the price I'm willing to pay I've only been searching seriously for a couple of weeks.

Alas, I have found almost exactly what I want at auction and am bidding on it tomorrow. Wish me luck. I'll post some photos if I'm successful

[funkymonkey]

so how'd the auction go?

[llama_au]

Not sure yet, gritting my teeth waiting to know.

[llama_au]

If I had Ben's number I could harass him for an answer

[llama_au]

Didn't get the Cube, sold for too much.

Was driving this in Japan for the last 3 and a bit weeks. Picked it up with only 500km's on the clock, brand spanking new.

Feet came as a forced option...e.g the Misso !!

Awesome little car..economical, quirky and surprisingly roomy.

Lacks power but economy is pretty bloody good. Driving around with aircon on all the time, plus Tokyo city driving..e.g lots for traffic jams and just plain old heavy right foot and was still getting 550km's per tank.

The only downside was and I would attribute this to their boxy shape (lack of aerodynamics) they tend to get buffeted around in the wind but overall good little run around.

Third time I've had one as a run around and will again.

realised the other day these things only come in auto

1.5L powerhaus! lol

just what p-platers need i s'pose

[Duncan]

not only auto, the one i drove was cvt

[llama_au]

Same shit, different smell.

[Duncan]

not at all...there is more to life these days than auto or manual. cvt system was very interesting once you got used to the car accelerating without the revs increasing

[sh@un]

the fascination with these little shopping boxes has passed me by completely

[Mr Eps]

why would you want it in a manual my fwen?

is that so you can do touge runs in it?

or "get a better feel for the road?"

or "be more one between the connection of man and machine?"

because that's what a GTR is for... not a cube.

a cube is like the automotive equivalent of taking a puppy to a busy park.... in that you have the item with you. people will flock to it and want to see / touch / smell it.

i cannot understand what everyone's fascination is of manual gearboxes on here!

[llama_au]

I certainly wouldn't want it in manual

[sh@un]

people will flock to it and want to see / touch / smell it.

once the novelty wears off (by about next Wednesday probably) they'll be about as funky as a 'new' Beetle or Chrysler PT Cruiser | 300C

[Mr Eps]

hater.

[llama_au]

I was about to bid on two today, both were not quite as they appeared after they were inspected. Nevermind, I'm looking at another tomorrow. Luckily they're such a common car that exactly what I want comes up pretty much every day for auction
