2010 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD |
Unparalleled rear seat room and comfort in this car for passengers. Should be among the easier cars of this size to put a baby seat into the back, if we have children. Our (longer and lower) 2004 Sentra paled in comparison of back seat usability. see full Nissan cube review |
