I get just less than 20mpg in my '06 Liberty, does that count? Well, at least it's 4WD, and that said, it'll probably get me to many, many more places than a 'Cube'. Hehe.

After all, that's another thing that makes Arizona so terribleâ„¢️. All dem der back-roads and snow in the high country.


teddyearp, the Nissan cube is definitely an acquired taste. I wanted one really bad back in 2014 and we eventually bought a 2011 Kia Soul. It's a really good rig, too. But I gaze upon the Nissan cube on the road every now and then and...dream.

Never, ever, ever, is one allowed to call a Kia Soul a "rig".

How the heck do you even say Arizona is a terrible place? Yes the weather is one, but that is based on the taste of weather and climate. For some people say AZ is terrible just because of that, how about finding jobs, gas prices, those factors are worse than just climate. What if you get stuck in the middle of nowhere, for instance? And second of all, not all of Arizona has that kind of heat, but yes its very true in the desert parts, but in Grand Canyon area, its not so bad.

Yes people say AZ is terrible. But for me I love Arizona because of ASU. And yes, I say AZ is terrible because of the heat, but that's not the main reason why I don't like AZ. I can handle heat waves, but not when its a long episode. The reason for my hatred is the cost of living and being isolated from your real world.

Have you gone to the Inland Empire or Coachella Valley? The heat there is the same as most of Arizona and there are more things to hate there, especially if you don't like to party.

The weather statement that you really hate, IS NOT THE MAIN REASON WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID ARIZONA. THERE ARE PLACES AROUND THE WORLD THAT HAVE THAT SAME WEATHER. PERIOD.

Wait a cotton pickin' minute. Explain to me, the owner of the 2011 Kia Soul white base 5-speed, why I can't call my
car a rig. This better be good.

I hate to change the subject but have to comment on how gorgeous the sunsets are each night. Beautiful.

But the bugs are terrible so I sure wouldn't want to encourage anyone to move here.

Then there are the coyotes that you can hear at night. Nah, no one should move to this terrible place.

Shhh! The White Mountains are the most terrible part of the state!

Plain and simple... in the automotive world, the word "rig" refers to semi trucks and/or giant pickups. No little compact CUV with a 4 cyl should be called a "rig".


That's like showing up to a Metallica audition with a banjo and calling it your "axe". Some things you just shouldn't do.
