A local friend has had a Nissan Cube for a long time with the dreaded CVT.  He bought it a few years used and has had it for like 8 years and 160k...yeah, on a CVT.  He knows the CVT issues and is amazed himself.  The car has been great for them otherwise and his wife uses it as the "kids to school hauler."  Kid #1 will soon be driving and kid #2 a year after that.  He'd like the kids to learn manual after they learn to drive on the Cube CVT.    Keeping it all familiar, here enters the desire for a Cube w/ manual trans.  They are rare, but they are out there.  Once you take the CVT out of the equation, they are a small car with a spacious interior with typical Japanese reliability.  

So, Nissan Cube in Sliver Springs, MD

Before a long distance purchase (potentially) I'm wondering if anyone is near to take the car out for a drive?  

If you are willing, reply here and email me your phone number and I'll start a 3-way text with my buddy.  ...jwelsh02...yahoo...

No, but I'd drive it back (after thanksgiving) for expenses plus a one-way ticket from DTW to DCA

A Cube with a manual trans.  Intriguing.
