Overview & Reviews
The Nissan Xterra is a traditional midsize SUV with seating for five and serious off-road capability. Thanks to stout body-on-frame construction shared with Nissan's Frontier pickup, the Xterra is a beast on the trail and can tolerate a fair amount of abuse. The downside is that this Nissan lacks the on-road polish of car-based crossover SUVs you might buy instead.
The Xterra debuted for the 2000 model year. Later Nissan Xterras are similar in appearance and personality to the early models but have a slightly longer wheelbase, a roomier interior, more power under the hood and a few extra features. If you want a reasonably priced off-roader and find the Jeep Wrangler too crude for everyday driving, the Xterra is worth a look.

Updated Long Term Review - 2006 Nissan Xterra
By Since 2006 -NM - June 27 - 1:26 pmI purchased my Xterra in 2006 new from the lot. I wanted an SUV because I was moving to New Mexico and needed a vehicle that had very good utility, was great in the backcountry, and can get through snow on uncleared roads. My road is never cleared in the winter. Ive owned it for the entire time. While some of the critiques Ive read in the reviews have some merit, ie. hard plastics inside, and gas mileage, on the whole its been very good. I replaced the tires at about 50,000 miles. The Drivers seat started making noises and was successfully fixed by the dealer in Santa Fe (good service dept!). The fuel pump was replaced under warranty before 36000 miles.

Excellent SUV - 2001 Nissan Xterra
By coker4 - June 21 - 10:00 amI have had my Xterra for 10 months now. I have completely enjoyed this vehicle. Gas mileage is not what I like, but the overall fun of the vehicle more than makes up for this. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Absolutely Love It - 2005 Nissan Xterra
By Luke - June 17 - 2:33 pmWe just bought the new Xterra this weekend and absolutely love it. It rides great, has a ton of power, the interior is well designed and comfortable and it is priced great compared to other SUVs. I would highly reccomend it to anyone. It is really catered to the active lifestyle.

Love My Xterra - 2002 Nissan Xterra
By GSX-TERRA - June 16 - 10:00 amI have now lived with my X-Terra for 5 weeks. So far I have no major complaints. I got the most bang for my buck with the X-Terra. The handling is not as bad as everyone says, it is quite nimble for a truck. Low to mid range acceleration (to 45mph) is good, but the curve flattens at high speeds. Gas mileage isnt great, but then I knew that when buying the X. Passed on the supercharger which you have to feed premium gas. Great daily driver, great people and gear haule, good looks ...what more can you ask for?

Good UTILITY vehicle; gets the job done - 2005 Nissan Xterra
By alfalfa - June 15 - 9:26 amThis has been my daily driver for a year and a half and enjoyable for the most part. Its spacious, with plenty of cargo room with the rear seats down (Ive hauled big screens in it, dogs, even an auger). Has a ton of power so you feel comfortable driving it on the highway and uphill (the engine rarely sounds strained). Gas mileage is what I would expect from a 4.0L. I tend to be a bit more aggressive on the gas pedal and get about 18.5 mpg (mixed hwy and city). Contrary to others distaste with the interior, I like the rugged plastic and overall interior design. If you want something fancy, then look elsewhere. If you want simplicity and utility for a good price, take a look at the Xterra

A Bit Disappointed in Nissan - 2004 Nissan Xterra
By Kim - June 15 - 4:10 amReliability has been great and it has definitely hauled a lot of items for me. Very easy to steer and turns on a dime. However, Im very disappointed in Nissan craftmanship. Front grille immediately faded within 6 months. I was told by dealer that this was part of the "rugged" look and they wouldnt replace it. Seats are very hard and uncomfortable for travel. Windows have poor insulation - wind is howling. No mirrors even on the visors! Back seat doors are made for people smaller than a size ten (and younger than 50) to squeeze through to get into the backseat. But I guess you pay for what you get.

Xterra from my perspective - 2000 Nissan Xterra
By Holiday - June 9 - 2:00 amI love my Xterra. It is extremely comfortable, it is stylish and a good cruising car. The power isnt that great for a V6. I have had multiple problems with the car and am a little worried as to its future reliability.

Good for 20-somethings - 2001 Nissan Xterra
By Colorado Girl - June 3 - 2:00 amFast and limber. Fun to drive. Great in snow. Not super comfortable, though. Very truck-like ride. Forget this car if youre a smoker. The ash tray is almost impossible to use and the lighter broke the first month. I (a 32-year old woman) recommend this car for guys in their 20s. Its a fast and manly car...and its easy to get a good deal. I paid $500 below invoice.

Best SUV in price range - 2003 Nissan Xterra
By WRC - May 24 - 10:00 amShopped around and researched the Internet for several months before purchasing my 03 Xterra. This SUV provided the most bang for the buck and looks great. Contrary to some other reviews, I really like the interior comfort. If you are looking for a truck type SUV, this is your vehicle. Well- built vehicle with lots of add-ons for the $$.
