Pros: Roomy, high clearance, sturdy
Cons: Gutless 4Cyl engine, Lousy Ride
The Bottom Line: Nissan aims this truck squarely at an outdoorsy youthful (predominantly male) audience; all others will probably want to look elsewhere.
Spring has arrived along the Gulf Coast. I'm rolling west out of Houston along I-10 in a riot of color. Carpets of bluebonnets line the roadsides, as yet unsullied by the inevitable amateur photographers and those families in their finery. Here and there...

Pros: It is quite manly, and is reasonably priced for an SUV.
Cons: Girls love them, too. :)
The Bottom Line: Oh, this bottom line. Stick it where the sun doesn't shine. (My attempt at manliness)
This is my contribution to the Manly Write-off in honor of Hawgwyld and Joubert's 3rd year here a ...

Pros: It looks great and is a solid truck based SUV.
Cons: It's built for taller folks and is a stretch for most females.
The Bottom Line: If you really need a SUV, then give this one a look. I don't think you can beat it for the price and style.
I bought a 2002 Nissan Xterra, and I am just thrilled. After 8 years in a Toyota Corolla that I bought used and which I was very thankful for and loved for many sensible reasons (like gas mileage and 4 doors and a good A/C), it’s nice to have...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great handling & cargo room, great price
Cons: "Rugged" ride, not a lot of leg room in the back, spare interior
The Bottom Line: Definitely recommend. It was exactly what I was looking for.
Last fall, I started looking for something to replace my beloved 1992 Mazda Miata. I purchased a fixer-upper 1921 bungalow 7 years ago, and I'd been creatively hauling home renovations supplies, like jack hammers and lumber, in my Miata, and I was ready ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: It had all of the options I was looking for in a vehicle.
Cons: It could get better gas mileage.
The Bottom Line: I think that this was a great vehicle, that is everything I was looking for.
Buying a used vehicle is a hard thing to do. You never exactly know if you are going to get something that the previous owner had beat to near death, or a good vehicle that will be dependable for you. I had been looking for quite some time at vehicles. I ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Lots of cargo space, truck like abilities, restyle looks good
Cons: Terrible ride, awful road manners, awful MPG
The Bottom Line: There are so many good cars and trucks available in the $25,000 range - the Xterra is not one of them. Oh, but wait; it looks really cool!
Now that the Xterra has been for sale a few years, Nissan has decided to freshen up the appearance to more closely mimic the stand-out styling of the Frontier pickup. The Xterra has always boasted rugged, chunky exterior styling, but the front end...

Pros: Price is right, lots of room, comfortable ride, great sound system
Cons: Only good power (not great), 4wd hi shift only below 25 mph.
The Bottom Line: Midsize SUV priced to compete with smaller SUVs. Slightly bigger, a lot sportier looking than its smaller competitors, and adequate power to get the job done.
I am a former Jeep Wrangler owner. Let me start by saying I loved my Jeep. A Jeep, however, is definitely not a luxury vehicle. They're kind of noisy, especially with the soft-top or no top, but that's OK by me. You feel the road and all its little...

Pros: Fast, handles nicely, fabulous sound system, stadium seating, everything is a pro...
Cons: Not so good gas mileage, have to remove gear basket to use sunroof
The Bottom Line: Affordable, attractive, fast and fun, this car is mostly for the under-30 crowd, especially people who are active outdoors. Possibly the greatest SUV in the world.
When I first went to test-drive an Xterra, I had pretty low expectations. I knew that this SUV had been built on the structure of the Nissan Frontier (with body styling influences from Land Rover) and I knew that trucks are not typically the most...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks, Seating, Interior, Price, Durability, First-Aid Kit, Sound system, and safety.
Cons: Fuel Economy
The Bottom Line: The Xterra has no fancy bells or whistles, just everything you need and a great looking car.
I have owned 3 different SUV's and several different cars prior to purchasing my 2002 Nissan Xterra SE-SC and all I can say is: there is none like it. My first SUV was a 1999 Jeep Cherokee 4 Cylinder that I loved but felt that it lacked a lot of much ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks, Price, and External Durability
Cons: Gas Mileage & Internal Durability
The Bottom Line: I'd recommend the Xterra for those folks that want a sharp, reliable, and safe "no frills" truck. If you must have the amenities and a car-like ride, look elsewhere.
Let's face it, you're looking at an Xterra because it is an eye-catching piece of machinery that exudes American freedom and fun - and it doesn't cost you 30 grand. However, you have your concerns because you've heard that the Xterra gobbles up gasoline...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great quality, rugged look, great off-road
Cons: Without the supercharger, the engine lacks a little power
The Bottom Line: With all the features included and quality, you can't get a better SUV for the price.
I have had my Xterra for about a year now and still enjoy every minute of driving it. I think it is one of the coolest looking cars on the road. The reliability is outstanding and the price is very reasonable. However I am going to start out by saying...

Pros: Great 4wd capabilities, decent gas milage
Cons: Engine noise, (pop-up sunroof only)
The Bottom Line: I strongly recomend it for the good value, gas milage, decent power and overall utility
During my recent trip to my dad's house I got to drive his new Xterra. I have to say that I found the styling to be suited for someone with a young spirit. The first day I rode on the Xterra was in the back seat. Immediatly I figure out why is the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: POWER, handling, 4-wheelin', aesthetics
Cons: injection molding "dimple" visible on dashboard
The Bottom Line: Buy one if you can. At least test drive one! (if you can find one) You won't be dissatisfied!
Bang for the buck.... I bought this baby for $25,025 from Jaremko Nissan in Spokane, WA back in early January. (what's it worth now in June with 5500 miles on it? 32k? 33k? LMAO! I am completely satisfied. This is the most (fun to drive)...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: Nice look, capable 4WD
Cons: Defective cruise control, bad MPG
The Bottom Line: Watch for the cruise defect. Nissan's customer service is horrible and will not help you unless you contact a state representative. They do not do rentals even on warranty work!
I bought a brand new 2002 Xterra 4WD XE and found the cruise control immediately defective. It surg ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Very comfortable, great features, reliable and so neat to drive!
Cons: None so far
The Bottom Line: If you are looking at SUV's the Xterra is a must see! There is so much to offer, and anyone looks great in the driver's seat.
Numer one, Xterra is affordable, unlike some of it's competitiors. When I sat inside the Xterra while I was in the dealership, I fell in love. I sank in the seats and became soothed by the new leather smell. Looking behind myself in the driver's seat, I...
