Thought I wanted this vehicle. Exterior plastics faded and look old, interior plastics are cheap. Rear end noises that dealership can't fix even after a complete replacement of the entire rear axle. It is a fight to get any type of warranty work done. This veh. only has 35,000mi on it and I am about to trade it in for a Toyota.
Good So Far

I've had this vehicle for over three years now. Love the power, handling, 20mpg with standard trans, great off road. Many have had premature clutch wear so I would not buy another stick. Most of the parts for this vehicle including engine is not Japan. Wish honda made old school suv, but for now xterra seems to give best bang for buck. 4runner much more expensive, and most of their parts are also not Japan.
Love it!

I love my X! I've always driven SUV's and love them. My last SUV was a Trailblazer, which was ok but it was an automatic. I love the 6 speed X. It drives like a truck (I'm told it's a full frame not a sub frame which i'm sure makes it drive a little more like a truck), but it hugs the curves. It drives real tight, it's firm. I didn't like all the play in the steering that the trailblazer had. All I can say is test drive one and you'll fall in love. I never thought I'd drive anything other than General Motors, but purchasing the XTerra X was the best move i've made so far. Give it a try....see what you think.
150k+ miles and still going

So i've owned my 2006 Xterra 4x4 since it was brand new, now 15 years later I can say it has been a wonderful vehicle. Sure stuff has gone wrong but stuff that will go wrong with any vehicle when it gets above 100k miles. I have yet to have anything major go wrong with the engine or the transmission, the 4WD system still works well. I spend probably 1k a year on overall maintenance since 100k+ but it's stuff that is expected on a high mileage vehicle. If you are in the market for a used 2006 Xterra make sure one owner and that it hasn't been abused or in accidents or used as an off-road stomper (and make sure to see if timing belt has been replaced). I think someone on a tight budget can have a really good high mileage Xterra for an excellent price and it will last for a good deal longer. I plan on keeping mine to 500k.
