• Rugged looks and the off-road capability to match, lots of room inside, solid construction.

• Sloppy on-road ride and steering, four-cylinder and standard V6 lack power, spartan cabin design.

  Missed the little things - 2004 Nissan Xterra
  By lakeman62 - May 19 - 7:46 pm

  have had to go back to the dealership a lot for little things like cold air around the handles and window trim falling off. the window motors are too light weight and are troublesome. Fuel economy is nothing like I expected to get, average 15.3 and thats with a lot of highway miles, you would think that with that kind of mileage it would have some power but the engine is starving for power. The A/C runs even when the system is not activated, they claim its due to the defrost system but I think they screwed up in the design and its Nissans way of getting out of a repair charge.

  After 5000 miles already trading it in - 2004 Nissan Xterra
  By Apollo_X - March 9 - 10:00 am

  Ive been driving SUVs before they were called SUVs and this is the absolute worst one Ive owned. Bought it brand new and even after 2 test drives, it seemed well enough, but once we got it into traffic, the total lack of driver side leg room proved to be a huge challenge just to find a remotely comfortable pedal to steering wheel position. This, along with the poor pick up is just too much for me and my wife to keep the vehicle. Also, the day after we bought the truck, the speedometer/odometer stopped working. Took two months and three trips to the dealership to get fixed. Total disappointment since we really want to like the truck.
