My Nissan Xterra has served me very well on long drives and short commutes over the past seven years that I've owned it. No serious repair issues have come up yet, though I do expect some as I pass 150,000 miles. It's a very versatile vehicle, and it has held together really well despite getting pretty heavy use over the years.

I am very glad I bought a 2005 Nissan Xterra. I bought it at a very good price, and so far, it has held its value very well. It is four-wheel drive, so it can get me off-road in the mountains and back without a worry. It sits up high and has a skid plate, so I do not have to worry about rocks damaging the bottom. It gets pretty good gas mileage for a sports utility vehicle. I get around 18-20 miles a gallon. It is on the loud side with wind noise, but the stock stereo does a good job combating the wind noise. The cargo area has a good deal of space. The back seat folds down all the way increasing the cargo area. On the roof there is a storage compartment where you can keep more gear. The tie down rack is a great place to put bikes or more storage. The buttons and knobs on the console are simple and efficient. I have not had to do any major repairs on this vehicle since I have owned it, other than new tires, oil changes, and a new fan belt. The seats are nice in the front the back seats can get tight if there were three in the back, but it is not to uncomfortable. Overall, it is a great vehicle for those that like the outdoors or need a cargo space SUV.
