...but sometimes I look at mine and just think "what a rad looking little car". Happened today just looking out the window. Also neighbors S2K.

Anyone want me to do a review now that I've owned it for a few months and put a few thousand miles on it?

I have love for the xB too, just a great little boxy package in both those cars

Yeah, I think that it's a rad little car too. Oh wait, you're talking about the Cube. I saw the Honda 2000, and just assumed that that was what you were talking about...

I don't hate the cube, I think its pimp. I wouldn't own one because a cars quirkiness will never be the sole reason I buy a car, but I do dig it.

My first car was a gen1 xB actually. My father had a gen1 as well before me and now has a 2nd gen xB.

Both are quite rad.

I got one from my ladyfriend as an anniversary present. How do you have a Cube an NOT get the shag mat?

People around here hate the Cube? I guess I missed that.

The things I don't like about it: 4 spoke square peg in round hole wheels. The CVT (I don't know if they sell it in any other trans...I've only seen CVTs).

Other than that I'm good with it.

They had to have tossed it. I'm 99% sure it was from the factory that way.

The cube is a cool little vehicle with a ton of space. And some goofy accessories. Like the mood lighting. I had that in mine, but it came with the car. Not something I looked for when I bought mine new.

Its optional? What do they charge for it?

Yea the wrap around window and sideways opening trunk seem to be enough for people to despise it. You can have it with a manual but I believe you wouldn't be able to look at the Krom trim (not that you want to, that body kit is awful). And the wheels I'll always swap for aftermarket wheels. These are just for winter.

Yea, it was a 25 dollar option. Bit pricey for an otherwise useless piece of rug.

BUT MY SWAG LEVEL IS THROUGH THE ROOF.

Mood lighting? I was aware of the 20 color LED underdash lighting thing. My overhead lights are all bright white and blue LEDs now though, dunno if that was factory or not though.

Yeah, the LED lighting I believe was sold as mood lighting.

Lighting in the interior were all standard, non LED bulbs.

BTW, where in NJ are you?

I wouldn't trade my xB for one, but if it got totaled I'd seriously look into one. My only complaint when looking at them is the interior seems a little less well laid out for carrying large amounts of stuff.

I'm in Edison, Middlesex county. You're a Jersey local as well?

The previous owner had done a couple of mods so I assumed he changed the interior lights as well. Kinda nice to know that isn't the case.

I'm in Sicklerville, Camden County. Shoot me your mailing address sometime if you want. I've got some leftover parts from my cube taking up space in my garage I think (cabin air filter, wiper blades) that are yours if you want them.

I sold my xB for a Chevy Colorado thinking that it'd be super cool to own a pickup. Then I went on to sell and buy 6 other cars before buying this and FINALLY being satisfied.

Somewhat.

Mods can fix what I don't like about it though.

I shouldn't have ever sold my xB in hindsight.

Oh sweet, whats your email? I don't really want to put my home address on Kinja because of reasons.

I'd far prefer it if it didn't have any pillar at the back, not just one side.

I got lucky and figured out I didn't ever want to part with the xB early on. That is why I've had it for over 7 years and put 115K on it.

I also thought it would be super cool to own a pickup, so I bought this as well:

is this pretty much a city only car or do you drive on the highways with this? I could see myself owning one if I lived and commuted in the city but on the highway, I'm not sure.

I like them a lot though.
