Expert Rating

Our expert ratings are based on seven comprehensive criteria: quality, safety, comfort, performance, fuel economy, reliability history and value.

You can interpret our ratings in the following way:

: Outstanding vehicle. Only the most exceptional vehicles achieve this rating.

: Very Good vehicle. Very good and close to being the best vehicle in its class.

: Good vehicle. Decent, but not quite the best. Often affordable, but lacking key features found in vehicles of the same class.

: Below average vehicle. Not recommended, and lacking attributes a car buyer would come to expect for the price.

: Poor vehicle. Simply does not deserve to be on the road.

2012 1.8 4dr Front-Wheel Drive Wagon
most popular
Price:   -  From $14,980
2012 1.8 S 4dr Front-Wheel Drive Wagon Price:   -  From $16,580
2012 1.8 SL 4dr Front-Wheel Drive Wagon Price:   -  From $18,680

Overview

The 1.8S comes standard with the manual transmission, but a CVT automatic transmission is optional. It gets upgrades like cruise control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, front seat armrests, Bluetooth and an audio system with six speaker and iPod integratin. The top-trim 1.8SL adds the CVT automatic transmission as standard, along with 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic climate control, keyless entry and start and map lights.

The Kia Soul is similarly shaped and has similar power, but doesn't have as much space inside. The Scion xB is priced about the same and also has a boxy shape, but a cheap feeling interior and complicated audio controls. The Honda Fit is more of a traditional subcompact hatchback and is better to drive and just as flexible inside, but it lacks the Cube's sophisticated optional features. And the Mini Cooper Countryman is also fun to look at, more fun to drive but can be much more expensive.

So the Cube maintains a unique role in the automotive landscape for people who want to drive around in a boxy car that also benefits from a spacious interior and impressive people-hauling capability for something that doesn't take up much space on the road. Base cars are rather well-equipped and the top-of-the-line SL is available with decidedly advanced features. If you're into the looks, give the Cube a test drive.
