Used 2003 Nissan Xterra Consumer Reviews
A great truck for the buck!
Well built. Solid construction and ride. Not a wussy SUV that started out as a car platform.
Xterra
Our Xterra new in '03 had major mech issues right away. Dealer would not admit the engine knock until 20K when it got really severe. Horrible experience dealing with dealer and Nissan USA to get new engine approved, they held the vehicle for weeks before starting work even though parts were at the local distro hub. This turned me off from Nissan forever. Also had bearing in rear diff fail at 8k miles, replaced under warranty no prob, but weird to have this many issues. Since, the Xterra has been quite reliable to current 90k miles. Several leaks (oil pan, valve cover) which are due to the eng replacement at 20ku, but nothing severe. Looks and runs great now

Trendy!
I LOVE my little Xterra! I bought it because I needed towing capacity but didn't want a huge SUV or a pick-up. My camper weighs approx. 3500 pounds fully loaded and it tows my camper like a dream. It uses far too much gas however. The first time my teenage granddaughters saw it they said, "Wow, Grandma - that's so trendy!" I feel like the coolest person on the road when I am driving it!
More than an SUV
The Best Car or Truck I have ever owned
Changed my mind
Like below, owned it for a week. Traded in a sports car for this b/c of a change in needs. Wasn't expecting to like it as much as my toy, but its definitely won me over. Surprisingly enough, Not sure I'll ever go back... Fun to drive, great sound system
