  Great at 88K - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By dkwngduck - December 14 - 2:00 am

  Ive driven lots of cars (field salesperson) and have to say at 3+ years, I still REALLY LIKE this car. Very dependable, solid gas mileage for an SUV, and fun. Towing - I pull two jetskis with no prob. Its a no frills, solid, cost efficient vehicle in a cool looking package. I strongly recommend buying one.

  dont buy one - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By crap - October 27 - 10:00 am

  I would not recommend buying a nissan xterra. The plastic bumper turns white, the buttons on the radio come loose, the paint on the buttons to the radio lasted 2 years, shift gear broken, driver seat uncomfortable, entire car not quality made. I cant wait to trade in to buy a toyota. This is my first nissan, I miss my toyota.

  XTERRA - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By DD214 - September 14 - 2:00 am

  I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT EXCEPT THE GAS MILEAGE WHICH IS 14-15 IN SUMMER USING A/C. GETS ABOUT 20-21 ON THE ROAD W/ AIR CONDITIONING ON. NOT GOOD FOR SMALL WOMEN OR WOMEN W/SHORT LEGS.

  By Ben Killion - September 11 - 7:43 am

  Bought with 90000 miles and its now at 185000. And besides a driver window switch that I bought from eBay I have done nothing but routine and preventative maintenance, i.e., timing belt replaced.

  Great Car - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By X - August 30 - 6:06 am

  I found this vehicle very fun to drive and quite capable both on road and off road. I used the car for everything from road trips, to LA commuting, to Rocky Mountain offroading and it did great. The gas mileage left a bit to be desired, but to be fair, mine was lifted with oversized tires. I was recently in a 20+ car pile up that unfortunately totaled my Nissan, but let me tell you, that car crashed incredibly well. My girlfriend and i were both able to walk away from the accident uninjured. The car took several high speed impacts from other vehicles and even a few walls quite softly. We both believe its safety features saved us. It really was an great car both in driving and in crashing...

  Engine problems - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By XOwner - July 7 - 5:46 pm

  We were looking to replace a Jeep CJ when we purchased this SUV. Weve really enjoyed it until recently. Weve put in $2000 worth of repairs and have now been told that the head gasket has to be replaced - another $2000!!! Ouch! We just paid it off and only has 83,000 miles on it!

  Love My SUV! - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By Hands On - May 20 - 10:00 am

  I researched (edmunds.com) this vehicle prior to buying it. I tried several others SUVs because I was afraid of getting a premire SUV. I work as a massage therapist and I travel to my clients. Having a vehicle that accommodates my table. I literally took my table with me in trying out each one. The Xterra, besides accommading my table, has carried many loads of camping gear, groceries, shopping sprees, and so much more.

  Happy owners - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By J-Roy - March 30 - 2:00 am

  We purchased it with 68,000 miles and now it has 135,000 miles and runs very well. We do have occasional issues that are costly (fuel pump, fuel pump wiring harness, brake work, shocks) but they are going to be problematic with any car with these miles. It feels a bit underpowered when we have our family of 4 in it but still maintains freeway speeds without problems. We have loved this car so far.

  Great SUV - 2000 Nissan Xterra
  By Willith - March 25 - 10:00 am

  This SUV has been nothing but reliable for me over the past 2 years I have owned it. I havent had to take it in but one time for warrenty work, my CD player stopped working, but they replaced it after they got one in stock. It rides nice (truck like) and has very good visibility (especially from the back seats). The engine is a little underpowered though and some of the switches are placed in hard to reach places (cruise control on/off and rear wiper switch). All in all a great SUV for the price and with the superchargers on the newer 2002 models the power problem will be fixed.
