I bought this vehicule several months ago and have been extremely happy with it so far. Before the purchase I spent about 3 months doing some pretty extensive shopping around. In the end, I bought it for several reasons: A high reliability rating by consumers and magazines alike, it's ability to tow heavy loads, it's flexibility in use (large cargo area and seating area, and because I found it to be one of the nicer looking mini SUV's on the market.) I get constant positive feedback on it's looks, ride (despite it is based on a truck platform) and flexibility of use.

I was thrilled when I purchaced a new sporty 2002 yellow Xterra. The exterior is awesome and the ride is so smooth. I am however very displeased with the lack of power and poor gas mileage.

As with many trucks the consideration of height and roll over has to be considered. I gave the Xterra the hard test and it passed as well as did well in ratings. Driver error, drivers thinking they have a MAC truck to push others around and maneuver in traffic like a Miata ISN'T the Xterra. Drive carefully and you're fine! Having said that, the Xterra is awesome....DON'T BUY A MAZDA TRIBUTE, I OWNED A 2001 LEMON LAW JUNK.
