Is the Nissan Cube too weird to buy used?

No — the Nissan Cube is not “too weird” to buy used if you actually like the shape and you find a clean, well-maintained one. Its weirdness is mostly the point: it gives you a roomy, easy-to-park, practical small car with a distinctive look.

The bigger question is not whether it is too quirky; it is whether the specific car has been cared for. Treat it like any older used compact: get a vehicle history report, check maintenance records, have a pre-purchase inspection, and pay close attention to transmission behavior, warning lights, suspension noises, tire wear, water leaks, and interior wear.

I’d buy one if: you want cheap, practical urban transport; you like the styling; you do not care about looking conventional; and you can find a clean example.

I’d skip it if: you want easy resale, modern safety/tech, lots of highway power, or a car that blends in.
