Bought certified 2 years ago, Our Xterra has seen dirt, water, and 110 on it's speedometer. We had no problems driving it on light offroad courses, and it's big enough to seat 4 in the back (please dont do it though!) The MPG's aren't too good, but it's good enough for what it is. Surprised at it's speed, though, since it outsprints most family sedans to 60, and the 21+ gallon tank will last you 350-ish miles. Biggest problem are the rear seats. The front ones are soft, and big, but the rear bench feels just like that. a park bench. don't spend more than 4 hours in the back of it, or your back will hurt.

This makes my 5th Xterra, I love the auto and have owned one starting with a 2000. Have never had a major problem with any of the previous (4) I have driven. My wife uses it most and she feels safe and enjoys having the 4wd on demand during our NE winters, Use it every weekend to drive from Boston to our place in NH. Ride is smooth and comfortable enough to put the dog to sleep on the way up.
2 yrs and still running great

Fun SUV to drive... hugs the road like a champ with smooth acceleration and strong brakes. Mine is a 4x4... haven't taken it off road yet but looking forward to it. Got mine a yr old at a steal and even if I didn't, it's still worth the money. It's expensive to maintain though...tires cost 200+ a piece and maintenance at the Nissan dealership which I recommend, is still expensive. But all in all, haven't had mechanical issues yet @ 66000 miles. This is my second Nissan after my 2004 Maxima SL and Nissan hasn't failed me yet.
245k miles and still going strong

2/2023 Just sold it with 280,000 miles on the clock and going strong.. sold for $4,500 easily with the lifetime of documentation of services and preventative maintenance. It pays to record all services! Purchased with 110k miles now nearing 250,000. I do all my own maintenance and I’m probably more anal about it than most but can’t say enough about the X. It’s needed wheel bearings, a radiator, replaced all tie rods and ball joints over the years as one might expect with such miles but the engine is smooth, can cruise all day at 90 with the strong 4 liter motor, it can pull boats, campers and even room to car camp inside. A beast in the snow and can easily tackle off road fun. So versatile! Keep looking for it’s replacement but I’d hate to ever be without it! Good maintenance is key
The ride you have been waiting for

I recently traded in a ford escape (02) for my new Xterra. After researching I decided that this was the suv for me. I love the power and so far it has handled well in the snow and ice. I am impressed, so far, with the build quality. I have only had the car for about 6 weeks but so far I am extremely impressed.
