I have been a fan of Nissan trucks and cars for over twenty years. Each has gone over 200,000 miles with minimal problems. I like that my Xterra sits up high and is easy to drive. The body is solid and shows little signs of deterioration. It looks much newer than it is. The Xterra is roomy enough to haul supplies. When the rear seats are folded away there is ample room to accommodate my two large dogs. A couple of features that have let me down are the air conditioning and the CD player. Interestingly enough, both broke down around 150,000 miles on both of the Nissans I have owned. I previously owned a Frontier 4 door truck which is very similar in design to the Xterra. My current vehicle is sixteen years old and has not needed any major repairs. Keep up with the recommended maintenance schedule and you can rely on this car to get you where you need to go. All in all, I love this car and my next vehicle will also be a Nissan.

I love my Xterra. I have driven it across the country 4 times and gone on many additional road trips. I believe the gas mileage is good for an SUV of that year. The car has 4 wheel drive which is a life saver during the winter. I love the stadium seating (back row of seats is higher than the front seats, it feels like there's more room back there). I love how the seats fold down and you can "car camp" pretty comfortably. For the most part, the engine is a soft purr but it can be a little squeaky when I first start it if it's really cold/hot outside. It drives/handles nice in all weather.
