With funky styling and plenty of spunk to go around, the 2012 Nissan Cube also offers great crash test ratings and a low base price which should keep car buyers happy.

The Cube is not quite a crossover, nor is it really a wagon. Its profile is similar to other “boxy” cars like the Scion xB and the Kia Soul, but the Cube sports a few interesting quirks that set it apart from other vehicles. Most prominent is the wraparound rear window, which goes over the vanished C-pillar on the passenger side and moves all the way up to the rear passenger door.

Asymmetry aside, the Cube only offers a single engine option: a 122-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder that is mated to a six-speed manual or a CVT. With the CVT equipped, the Cube’s fuel economy ratings check in at 27 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway (25/30 respectively with the manual).

The Cube spreads its features across three available trim levels: base, S, and SL. For 2012, the S trim level adds more features including a navigation system, backup camera, and unique seats. Additionally, Nissan’s Intelligent Key system, which also adds push button start, now comes with the S and SL trims.

Inside, the Cube’s wacky styling continues with a dash board that undulates in and out and plenty of opportunity to customize the color and appearance of trim pieces so your Cube is unique to you. There is seating for up to five passengers and with the rear seats folded, a spacious 58.1 cubic feet of cargo volume. Standard features include power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, air conditioning, and an auxiliary audio input jack. Further options include Bluetooth® /USB connectivity, automatic climate control, navigation system, and a Rockford Fosgate stereo system for those who want to spruce up their Cube even more.

The 2012 Cube is also an IIHS Top Safety Pick and comes with antilock brakes, an electronic stability system, active front head restraints, and six airbags as standard equipment.

Once you get past the interesting looks, the 2012 Nissan Cube is a rather capable vehicle. It can seat five, gets good gas mileage (especially in the city), and has a low base price – this Cube is surprisingly well-rounded.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
