What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Nissan cube

Price of the Nissan cube: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	well heck - shiny new car for the price of used - how can ya beat that
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	I found it to be very affordable with great standard equipment even in the base model.
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	The Nissan Cube was affordable to moderately price. Being a full time student and working part time, I was looking for a cheap vehicle with low payments.
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	I purchased the car for $15,200 (with some options and shipping). That is about half the cost of a Prius and less than other in-class cars. If the economy was better and my job more secure, I may have purchased the Prius.
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD	Cheap! I mean for all that you get, it is very cheap, without sacrificing quality at all.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Ford Escape

Price of the Ford Escape: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic AWD	Lowest
2009	4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic AWD	My price paid was much smaller than Toyota and Honda similar models I researched.
2008	4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	The price was within budget
2008	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD	Compared to Honda, Toyota and GM, much more "bang for the buck"!
2007	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	lower than the mazda
2007	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Reasonable price for 1 year old lease return
2007	4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD	Not much. Pricey for what you get.
2006	4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD	Part of the deal was getting top dollar on my trade in.
2006	4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	At my purchase price of $15800 I think my Escape is an unmatched value.
2002	4dr SUV 127-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual AWD	Bought vehicle with low interest. And price of 19,600 was very reasonable. Especially by SUV standards
Price of the Ford Escape: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Hybrid was quite a premium over the V6.
2007	4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	It is not economical when comparing standard engine vs. hybrid engine. You have to do it because you want a hybrid for the environment. However, it is 10K cheeper than Toyota Highlander Hybrid, but it is a lighter car too. Tow capacity is 1000 vs 3000.
2006	4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD	As a hybrid, expect to pay a premium price.
