    This suv is great. the only problem i have found was that the wind can push it to easily

  • Pleased - 2004 Nissan Xterra

    One thing I did right away was to adjust the throttle cables under the hood as they come from the factory with alot of play. Once I tightened these up the pedal response was amazing! I also put a K&N air filter in as well as new synthetic redline oil. With these simple changes I am getting 20 miles per gallon and drives great!!!

  • Great Truck - 2004 Nissan Xterra
    By -

    Thats right. This is a TRUCK. Anyone looking for a soft ride and fuel economy should go with a Honda CR-V or Ford Escape. Got a great deal...about $3500 below invoice including rebate. If youre thinking about an Xterra, nows the time. There are great deals to be had out there!

  • Good SUV Startup vehicle - 2004 Nissan Xterra
    By -

    I just got my X-Terra, I drove it to the Grand Canyon. While it could only do 60MPH going uphill, on the flat road it handled very well, for a 4 cyl. It was comfortable to ridee in it. Roomy for all my gear, fuel consuption was very good when speeds were kept to at least 75MPH. Doing 80 - 90MPH and your fuel consuption will still not be too bad. While more power would be great, all and all the X-Terra (4cyl)is not a bad investment for what you get.

    i love my Xterra, i had a pathfinder and wanted the Xterra as soon as they came out on the market and have never regretted it. reliable, comfy, and surpasses my expectations....

  • great SUV for the money - 2004 Nissan Xterra
    By -

    i picked up my Xterra used in 2008 with 12k and now im up to 70k. i use full synthetic oil and so far maintenance has been super cheap. ive only done basic maintenance stuff with no repairs in 58k miles! the stock tires suck, but if you invest in a decent set of all terrains, this truck cant be beat for the price. acceleration is lacking, but you sacrifice giddy up for economy. ive gotten up to 20mpg out of this SUV no problem. AC and heater work great. 4wd is great. creeks, mud, water up to the doors. pulls through it all (if you know how to drive off road properly).

  • Nice looking, rough ride - 2004 Nissan Xterra
    By -

    Xterras are really nice looking, however, they ride rough on the pavement. If you primarily drive this on the pavement I dont recommend it. Buyers should get a Honda CRV, Element, or Toyota Rav 4 instead of this gas hog!
