We've always been a Nissan family and bought our latest two, an '07 Sentra S (my daily driver) and '06 Xterra Off-Road (spouse's daily driver), in 10/06. While I rarely drove the Xterra, I loved being high up and having power to spare when I did, so much in fact that I just traded my Sentra for a '08 Xterra. Even the base trim offers great bang for the buck. The 4.0L V6 is a beast, the 5 spd A/T meshes well with it, and it came with standard features that not even my S trim Sentra came with, including cruise, ABS, VDC and EBD (traction control). It's my first SUV and my first RWD vehicle, but its dimensions are easy to acclimate to, and its handling, though still SUV- like, is quite confident.
Xterra "two thumbs up"

I've only owned this vehicle for about a month, but it didn't take long to realize this is a great vehicle. Test drove jeep grands, and 4 runners. I've have always driven Toyota's in the past, but they're too expensive. My advice is save your money and get the xterra, "everything you need and nothing you don't" pretty much sums it up, they're not fancy but they get the job done.

Great off road-- weak spots are exhaust muffler will leak top rear seam to destroy the wiring harness and whatever else the hot gases hit---check the u-joints frequently---do regular maintanence and things will go good

TOUGH VEHICLE

Great vehicle but i had a bad experience with the muffler developing a hole a the top back seam, which damaged the wiring harness to the wheel sensor and the right wheel seal. This cause d the need for a new 1/2 axle and sensor and wiring (not cheap). This was made worst because the heat shield above the muffler was not designed long enough to protect the wiring etc. I since have fabricated a longer heat shield.

Bought the first Xterra in May of 07. Loved it so much that my wife decided to trade in her Ford for another Xterra last month. "Fun to drive" is the best way to decribe it!
