This is a car you buy to haul things/people with, not a car to mod and "supe up".

If you want to "go fast", this or the Versa will both be bad for that, as a dinky 1.8L engine that was designed for MPG will not get you a sub 8 second 0-60 time.

If I had the money I'd buy one to drive around town with... or maybe not, since I still think a Ninja 250R would work better for that, since we already have a 95 Odyssey...

isnt that what the said about civics and sentras that they are not meant for being fast? or even quick? lol i wouldnt want to get either one to be balls to the wall just something peppy enough to keep up with the rest and still have some nice additions.. ive found intake header and exhaust for the versa.. thats not bad.. the cube is still too new.. but im sure they will make the same for it too.. and for being a box style.. im sure someone will do the same since the xb and fit have all the same goodies and are slow as fuck.. at least the 1.8 has 122hp vs the box and fit..
just a lil something..

The Civics and Sentras were made as general people mover for a lower price, but they also put some slightly bigger engines in them to give them more pep, which is why people even thought about modding them and making them go faster.

The Cube didn't get a high performance motor that is capable of making decent power out of. It has a 1.8L motor derived, and tuned, for fuel economy, not power.

Again, the Cube was meant to be a people mover w/ good gas mileage, not a race car.

Sure there'll be mods for it out soon enough, but honestly, why even bother with an exhaust or intake for an extra 5hp for like $800? Even with the extra 5hp you're looking at like 105hp to the wheels.

Oooooooooooooohhhhh.... that's race car material right there...
