I thought the NA-bound Cubes are made in Japan still?

At least the one in my family is.
Got a 1.8S titanium grey with CVT in May; the 3rd or 4th Cube sold from the dealer. Now around 7800km. 1st oil change in August at ~5800km.
Since the owner drives it on weekdays, so I take it for weekends. No complain on the look (wraparound rear window!), interior room (headroom!), cargo space (4 large suitcase+4 hand carry+2 backpack plus more with rear seat fold down), handling (3.98m in length, good when parallel parking)... especially fuel consumption. 8l/100km is much better than my 1989 Toyota Cressida (3.0L L6, 14l/100km).
Stock stereo can't play mp3 on CD (OK with 1.8SL package), only 3.5mm AUX in. Kia Soul has USB input. I rented Kia Sedona in LA last month and the stereo even shows Traditional Chinese file name from flash drive and my Nokia 6301.
The only accessory I got for the Cube till now is the Side Window Deflectors.

Got a set of four for $100US from a Nissan dealer in Seattle. Comparing $160CAD+tax here.
Next: hood deflector, mud guard... |
