Overview & Reviews

SE models come with titanium interior accents as well as a premium audio system boasting 100 watts of peak power and a six-disc in-dash CD changer. New steering wheel-mounted audio controls can be used to operate this system. The rumored 3.3-liter supercharged V6 is, at this point, MIA, but console yourself with a new color called Gold Rush and restyled 16-inch alloy wheels.

• Rugged looks and capability to match, excellent brakes, lots of room inside, standard ABS, first-aid kit.

• Uncomfortable front seats, cheap interior plastics and fabrics, useless sunroof on SE models, weak V6.

  Xterra Xtra Special - 2001 Nissan Xterra
  By pinemikey - October 2 - 10:00 am

  Got my Xterra Jan 2001 and its the best vehicle Ive ever owned. Been to Nfld , Canada from Deep South Texas -8500 mi round trip & handled like a dream. I think a bigger engine is reqd, but I love my truck. We got the yellow and we still get admiring looks. Best brakes Ive ever experienced. For those who find the seats bad, get out and exercise more so you can make your fat butts smaller. Great on and off road...what a blast!! Solid as a rock and suspension is great. The roads down here should qualify as off roads.

  225,000 Miles & Still Going Strong! - 2001 Nissan Xterra
  By vstro - September 8 - 5:30 pm

  Bought this Xterra new in 2001 from Al West Nissan. About a year later the dealership told me that it was recalled to correct some problems at no charge-still under warranty. Since that the only thing I had to have done besides the usual oil changes (sometimes I was a little slack on that)& and a battery here and there is points/plugs last year at about 200,000 miles!She is now 9 years old. Unbelievable! Dependable! Reliable! Love my Xterra and wish it would just keep going forever- I might just see how many miles we can get to and then go buy another new one. Ive been very happy with it!

  Baught Used... - 2001 Nissan Xterra
  By XterraMD - May 27 - 10:00 am

  From Carmax and so far so pleased. I was surprised how the value decreased no doubt due to the new Cute Utes and the newer Xterra. But I like it just the same.

  I love the way this vehicle rides and drives. My only complaint is the sunroof. It is extremely noisy on the highway and there is nothing you can do to fix it.

  01 Xterra - 2001 Nissan Xterra
  By ks4oc - May 13 - 10:00 am

  With only 4000 miles on the vehicle, I drove it to Northern Quebec from Augusta Georgia, towing a 4000 pound trailer. The vehicle never had a problem. Towed the trailer, kept up with traffic. Gas mileage was only 10.0 mpg, but what do you expect when dragging a barn down the highway at 70 mph?

  1ST SUV - 2001 Nissan Xterra
  By YO - April 17 - 11:43 am

  This was my first time owning a SUV. I fell in love until I had to fill the gas tank. The gas mileage on this SUV is very bad for a 4cyl vehicle. There is no get up and go. How could you have a visor without vanity mirrors? Take this SUV and start over from scratch. And next time have a female design it.

  Love this car!! - 2001 Nissan Xterra
  By Michelesb - March 20 - 10:00 am

  I absolutely love this car!! I love the way the Xterra handles, it drives like a car on the road. Havent used it off road or in snow yet. I can never feel when I am speeding... the car drives so smoothly. The amount of room in this car is unbelievable... I can fit my whole life in this car. I like that the seat cushions come out of the car when you put the back seat down...allows more space than SUVs that have seats that just pull forward (like the pathfinder). I think the Xterra is the best value among SUVs. I cant imagine why anyone would purchase a pathfinder for $10,000 more than an Xterra.

  Still going strong - 2001 Nissan Xterra
  By DavidH - November 18 - 5:50 am

  Bought this vehicle brand new in 01 - a few minor issues, all taken care of under warranty. Had it in Alaska for 4 years - terrific in the snow, even better with winter tires. Drove straight from Alaska to Georgia - no problems with comfort or handling. Currently have around 53K miles on it, only maintenance has been regular oil changes. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

  Florida ride - 2001 Nissan Xterra
  By angie - October 13 - 3:06 pm

  I have owned quite a few cars and trucks, but when I purchased this, I fell in love. Everyone says always trade before the miles get too large, but I dont have any desire to trade in. I will probably drive it till it falls apart, and an 80% chance of getting the exact make and model in the future. I love the feeling of being up high and seeing out, I love the interior. For the year of my vehicle, I am glad to say there are no paint discrepancies or rust. Everything in mine is still original, and it has never been touched up or painted.
