Forget Dogs, Boys Love Trucks! And Nissan's 2002 Xterra is Just What They're Looking For.

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

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...

The Manly Xterra by Nissan

by Mom2TyZick Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
Jun 15 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

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 ...

Nissan Xterra - Here is what you need to know if you want one.

by CyndiA Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50
Nov 27 '02 - Updated Mar 17 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

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...

Not a soccer mom SUV!

by scadamy
Sep 01 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 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 ...

Xterra, just the vehicle I was looking for

by no_eyes1
Apr 03 '07 - Updated May 16 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 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 ...

Just too Trucky

by BrianCam Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200
Jun 09 '02 - Updated Jun 26 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 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...

New Family Adventures....

by linegaad
Mar 20 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

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...

Reasons to Buy an Xterra

Jan 02 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

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...

NISSAN XTERRA: NOTHING LIKE IT

by jei_aguinaldo
Oct 14 '09 - Updated Oct 21 '09 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 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 ...

The Lowdown on the Xterra

by mudskpr
Jul 20 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 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...

Great car at an even greater price

by warwicksail
Mar 18 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 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...

2002 Xterra

by texasaltima
Dec 25 '02 - Updated Mar 21 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

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...

Supercharged xterra on x-teroids

by mountainbronco
Jun 21 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 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)...

IMPORTANT LEMON LAW MATERIAL!

by tigergirl426
Jun 30 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 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 ...

Love the Xterra

by jennigump11
Feb 27 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 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...
