    This is my primary car. I have owned the car only for a couple months. I really enjoy how the SUV is a manual, which makes it really fun to drive! The gas mileage is not too horrible, but could be improved. The car seems a bit basic, but I LOVE the 4x4. This car has been the best car I have ever had.

  • Great Nissan Product - 2004 Nissan Xterra
    By -

    Purchased this SUV in December of 2009. Bought it because of its looks and the great price that the dealership was asking for it. Also that it has a full warranty. The Xterra has 70,000 miles on it and drives like a new car. I get great mileage averages about 24 to 25 mpg. Also love its rugged looks. Get many compliments when driving around in this vehicle. Have also spoken with many other Xterra Owners about their Cars. Everyone I have spoken with Love this Vehicle and would buy it again. Well done Nissan Product. Only thing I hope: Is that the Car will last me for many years to come.

    Im handicapped so i need a car thats reliable so i can make it to my doctor every month and hes 5 hours away. I also need a smooth ride. I have the grille gaurd and the bars on my headlights.This makes me feel safe. Just recently i was smushed between 2 cars.Everyone elses car was bent horribly. They were amazed that my car was barely scratched. Thank you for making my life a little easier.God bless!

  • If only it was as good as its ads! - 2004 Nissan Xterra

    So far I am unimpressed with the XTerra. It should be a fully competent SUV but it isnt. In fact with only 3 inches of wet snowfall I couldnt even get out of my driveway without using 4wd low range. 1/3 of my driving is on Bradford County PA dirt roads (read partially improved cowpaths) which are often running mud except when thay are frozen mud. So far the Xterra has not matched the performance of either my 1999 Explorer XLT or my 1993 Explorer 2-door. I dont believe it will ever come up to the level of my 1971 Land Cruiser Wagon or my 1973 International Scout II.

    Well I bought mine 2 years ago. Fun to drive..towed a camper..was a little more hard to tow... get pretty good gas mileage about 19mpg.. Went camping in it seats fold down and you can sleep in the back stretched out I am 511 and it worked great! WAS REALLY BAD MUDDING!! Went into a cornfield and got stuck slid all over the place.. Grill FADES and I have a problem with rust already.... But I still really like it and Ill buy another one.

    I love this car. It is very comfortable on my back to drive. Lots of room inside for my kids. Lots of ground clearence. The back seats are also very nice to sit in, you have plenty of head room.
