Used 2001 Nissan Xterra SUV Consumer Reviews
Good for 20-somethings
Fast and limber. Fun to drive. Great in snow. Not super comfortable, though. Very truck-like ride. Forget this car if you're a smoker. The ash tray is almost impossible to use and the lighter broke the first month. I (a 32-year old woman) recommend this car for guys in their 20s. It's a fast and manly car...and it's easy to get a good deal. I paid $500 below invoice.
I'll give it a 9.9
The XTerra handles both onroad and offroad well. Its plenty roomy, provided that you are not over like 6'2". VERY RELIABLE! I've had it a little over 1 year and the only problem I've had is I got a traffic ticket (which I beat in court) in Cle Elum, Washington for having too much mud on it. Now the important stuff. I can throw the kayak on the roof rack, throw a couple mountain bikes, fishing poles, cooler and camping gear in the cab and head out for a week at a time out to the beach, into the mountains, or whatever. This thing handles absolutely AWESOME in the snow up in the mountains. Handles well on rainy roads also.

GREAT SUV
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE OWNED A SUV. I LOVE THE ROOM IN MY XTERRA. I HAVE RECEIVED SO MANY COMPLIMENTS FROM PASSENGERS IN THE BACKSEAT. THEY LOVE THE STADIUM STYLE SEATING. I WILL NEVER OWN A CAR AGAIN!!
Its just OK
Not for Highways, not really for off roading in the original configuration. Not for anyone over 5'6. GOD I Miss my Windstar. I cant even get a weeks work of grocery's in the back!
Buy One!
Its a fun tough off road vehicle that is incredibly reliable. Nissan really has their act together. Been in shop 2 times for rattles and blown speakers.. Went out and bought a sub woofer and no more speaker blow outs! Bought the new seat covers and interior looks lot more fun!! Very solid off road, front seats could be set higher for long distance driving. Need a/c vent for back seat. Gets hot in Arizona. Put extra window tint and is helping a lot. Gas mileage is pathetic for the lack of oower.. feels like a 4 cylinder..but still acceptable. I would buy another without a doubt!!
