2010 Nissan Xterra - It does the job, but I'm not crazy about it.
I purchased this SUV because I already owned a compact car, and I wanted something that would be more versatile and would fit my sporty lifestyle. A vehicle that would fit all my athletic car, art projects, and my dog and her things. Something I can take long road trips in and drive over rugged country. I like the sporty package of this SUV. I like that the seats fold down and the storage space increases. It's bigger than my other car yet somewhat compact for an SUV, so it fits easily in the garage. It has some nice features like the built-in stereo and cruise control, and this is nice. The tire package is also quite nice and has held up well. The maintenance costs for Nissans tend to be quite low compared to other models, and I like this. The gas mileage is so-so in the city, which is... (more)

I got tired of the all-black interior, and I think the interior design could use some improvement. It's quite dull. It's not as punchy as my compact car and not as fun to drive as a sports car.
I enjoy travelling to the beach with my dog. I take her once a week to our favorite beach where she can run and play. So easy to fit all my stuff and her stuff. She can jump up into the back seat easily.

I like how roomy and sporty the SUV is, but it's still a compact SUV. I like the technology that comes with it, the controls, the stereo system, even the extra cup holders which are nice and deep. I like how the rear seats fold down and create more storage space. It's great for road trips and off-road travel. The cruise control allows you to sit back and relax during a road trip.

The fuel economy isn't that great. It's middle of the range, in my opinion. The car runs a bit hot in the summer, and I don't like that. I think this SUV is a bit loud and not as smooth as other cars as far as noise goes. The interior is boring black on black cloth, which hides stains well, but it's not very interesting to look at. The driver's seat isn't very comfortable for long-distance driving and requires the use of an insert/cushion.

2010 Nissan Xterra - XTerra- Awesome off road vehicle!
I bought the 2010 Nissan Xterra 4x4 to use in off road situations that my job takes me. I've taken the Xterra on 2 trips so far where I needed to go off road and it has handled both situations perfectly. The clearance is great (one of the highest available). The car is comfortable, the seats are comfortable and offer a lot of leg room and the cargo area is spacious. If you need more space, the back seats go down all the way and lay completely flat, giving you nearly enough space for a queen size blow up bed, which is great if you're interested in taking the Xterra on camping trips. It's also great for travelling with animals. My husband and I took the Xterra on an 800+ mile journey to visit the family and with the seats down, there was enough room for the cat, her litter box, her bed, ... (more)

My husband and I took the Xterra on an 800+ mile journey to visit the family and with the seats down, there was enough room for the cat, her litter box, her bed, our luggage, AND our 60lb dog and his large bed. Its amazing how spacious the vehicle is, yet its not large and awkward. Parallel parking is a breeze, especially with the back of the vehicle being flat. There's very little I dislike about the vehicle. The gas mileage could be better, but it's pretty on par with other 4x4 vehicles I have had. There are few amenities in this particular trim, but I believe Nissan has added plenty of optional amenities for the newer Xterras.
The first trip my vehicle made (honestly, this trip was a day after I received the vehicle) was to Moab, Utah. I was following a colleague of mine who was taking me to a location to find a fossil site I was interested in. The drive took us through a small gorge. The car handled great, going through and over multiple stream crossings. The trip ended with us exiting the gorge and driving up and ... (more)

Great ground clearance
Plenty of leg room
Large cargo space
Back seats go down FLAT to nearly double the cargo space
