Box car collection...

[capsuleboy]

So its not shite,some would say, and its OMG modern, but no boxy car family would be complete without one.

Picking it up on Friday, but driving an 04 plate Clio for a little over an hour, followed by driving this home is hardly the stuff of legend.

But as a little tease the fleet already contains 3 other boxes on wheels, expand?

Same colours to white and brown...

[Pillock]

I like the looks of those.

Is the interior suitably wacky too? Pedals on the opposite side to the wheel, gear lever shaped like a haddock, carpet with an intricate mediaeval design woven into it?

[messerschmitt owner]

it's not really a cube though

[capsuleboy]

Er no, but you can get a tuffted pad that sits on top of the dash and looks like a muff.

[wuvvum]

Ooh, a Nissan Frinkahedron.  I like these for some reason.

[UltraWomble]

Its square.

I like square cars (Bingo, Cube, RSoul, Note, Modus et al)

[UmBongo]

I like these.

 

They are quirky and not driven by arseholes...mostly.

[AnthonyG]

If you have other boxes, they could include a Move or a WagonR/Agila.

[messerschmitt owner]

no, no, no! No one in their right mind not on mobility wants an Agila! Fecking shite!

[capsuleboy]

Well the obvious one is Italian, the others quite French.

[AlabamaShrimp]

It's a big win from me. I know I will probably never own one but it doesn't stop me wanting one

[vulgalour]

Cubes look ace, I expect they're ultra boring Nissan reliability, decent build quality and reasonable on fuel.  Yours is definitely shite, the number plate reads "plllopp".

 

Being white, it's a sugar cube.

Some tasteful* modifications on this one (off the blue forum, obvs)

although I do like what he has done with the rear lights. I think Nissan are a bit odd, they make huge sales of fairly bland cars then they come along with the likes of the Cube (Qube?) Figaro S-cargo etc just for the fun of it. I like them for that

[Felly Magic]

Needs to be red and the numberplate PAT 1

[cort16]

I recon I'm going to put a fair bit of thought into getting one of these for the Mrs next year whether she likes it or not . Not this shape but the more postman pat shape before it.

• I think 50% of Nissan Cubes in the UK are grey imports and the other 50% are UK spec.  

Insurance will be lower on a UK spec one, so the best bet.  2010 & 2011 models I think.  

I like them. And Kia Souls, Chevy HHRs and (controversially) PT Cruisers.

Are there any other non-symmetrical vehicles out there?  Just these and Routemaster buses?

[capsuleboy]

Yes all the older 2002/3/4 ones are grey imports and stupidly expensive. This type only came here in 2010/2011, but most have dungeon like black insides and lowly spec...took a while to find this one with its full on chocolate brown and cream interior.

one pulled in behind me at petrol station yesterday morning..

[UltraWomble]

I pass one every weekday morning going in the oppo direction on my drive into work.
