Nice size, starting SUV is enough room for hauling recycles or car camping. Rugged and reliable. Make sure to try the 4wd
December 15, 2024For the money there’s no better suv for its age. Is the Right size and really dependable even with 200,000 miles plus
October 5, 2020Love this SUV! Great for in town, or highway driving. Enough room for a few kids too. Gas mileage isnt to great but its not the worst either. You wont have to stop at every gas station. ;) I'd buy another Xterra.

July 2, 2012Needs a little more power. Other then that its an Xcellent car! Had the Xterra for 6 years and its still going strong only regular problems. Never had to put it in the shop! Gas is not horrible compared to other midsize SUV's.
May 11, 2009Excellent off-road and snow paving machine. ;) Lots of room for hualing stuff. Gas mileage is near average @ 16-18mpg mixed driving behavior. Road noise is below average. I can hear my Brigdestone Dueller A/T Revo whining! lol Great towing vehicle rated @ 5,000 lbs strength. Body style is still great even after a total makeover in 2006.
July 23, 2008Performance: The only beef I have with this vehicle is the lack of power considering that this vehicle is supercharged. Not to much get up and go at around 110km/h. Aside from that, this Nissan drives smooth and rides great! Feels like a great quality vehicle!
November 11, 2009I bought my 2003 Xterra brand new off of the lot with only 12 factory miles. I've taken special care to get every service, including suggested (possibly unnecessary) services, and have had no issues whatsoever with the vehicle. I would not recommend you purchase the 5 speed stick shift version that I have if you live in Los Angeles, as stop and go traffic tends to wear the sole of your left shoe out. This truck has treated me great on road trips and is the perfect medium sized SUV for living in the city.
October 20, 2007This car was very comfortable, easy to get in and out of. Kid friendly! Maitenance was very minimal for the car which made it worth the money. I have had 2 of these cars now and may get a 3rd when the time comes. Great for off roading even with out the 4 wheel drive.
April 16, 2013Handles well in all weather. Acceleration is poor due to it's small engine vs. heavy frame but it's worth it for the better fuel economy. Wheels sold me on this truck. Usually these Xterra's have tall, skinny tires/wheels. This has lower wider profile wheels that make the truck look so much better. I needed a cruise control so I added a Rostra cruise control.
August 22, 2013The car is extremely reliable- starts up no problem every time. It stops on a dime, and although it takes a bit to accelerate, once it gets to the desired speed it handles fantasticly! The car is built sturdy and looks good on the inside and out. Costs can be a bit pricey for driving in city- but long range trips it does great and the gas goes a long way.
