Consumer Reviews
"I love this car! This car has been just about maintenance free for over 92k miles and kicking. Besides your regular oil and filter changes the only thing I've had to do to this car is replace the sending unit in the fuel tank(45 minuet job $80). Im still on the original brake pads and the original clutch! My first tire change was at 85K miles! And I have not babied this car at all. I've taken it to the middle of the Mojave desert, jumped it, towed over 4k lbs 1800 miles! My job makes me put 150-200miles on it a day. The only sign of wear on this car is a little wear on the fabric on the drivers side seat. This car is bulletproof!"

"I purchased a high mileage 2007 in very good condition and find it meets or exceeds my expectations for a great basic utility vehicle with 4x4 when needed. The ride is very good, interior room is good, amenities are all very functional and power is very good. Mine has the automatic transmission and I get 17mpg around town and 25mpg on the highway. It tows my trailer well when needed. Glad I went with the Xterra."

"I've have my Xterra for just oner a year and I just love to drive it. Off road it excellent and on the road nimble and quick. The interior is perfect for my lifestyle, kids, fishing, camping, kayaking and boating. It is barebones, you have to turn the lights on yourself and instruments are minimalist. Less to go wrong in my opinion. Seats are solid and hold up. Cleanup is easy. The X has plenty of power and pulls my 18 foot boat without a problem. Gas milage is around 18 in mixed which I consider good, I stepped down from a Tahoe that was getting 11 mpg. I'm very happy and impressed with the Xterra."

"I bought the Xterra about 6 months ago, and I loved and continue to love every second I drive in it. It handled one of the worst winters RI has seen in years like a dream. I pushed through snow two feet deep with no problem! Its the true meaning of a Sport Utility Vehicle.. Before the camping season was up I packed it up and headed to CT for a long weekend camping trip. The X pulled my 2,500lb pop up with ease and handled all the elements mother nature threw its way. The only down side I would have to say is that if its a seriously windy day, the wind will take you for a left to right ride on the highway. The 4.0 has surprising power and will for sure eat the gas, but you have to expect that with any SUV. I have to say that this SUV is not ment for everyone....If your looking for heated seats, sunroof, power everything, navi, etc., etc. dont even bother looking at the Xterra. Its the type of vehicle that is ment for the active lifestyle. If you bike, hike, camp, ski, etc. this is the best SUV you can buy... I use my Xterra as a daily driver and it handles great in the city streets as well as the highway drives. All in all if you want a reliable, rugged, great looking SUV....BUY AN XTERRA!"

"My '07 Xterra has been rock-solid reliable and fun to drive. it has a sporty feel that most SUVs lack. It is totally successful as a city car and as a recreational rig for camping and offroading. It is only fair as a long distance cruiser. I drove it to Alaska and back on the Alcan a few months ago--no problems, no disappointments. Got about 20mpg at 60-75mph cruising."

"Great SUV. Perfect blend of utility and performance. 3 years in and still love it like the day I bought it. could use some more "upscale" features" such as power seat even if as an option."

"I have driven my 07 Xterra for two years, added over 40k miles to it, and am convinced I made the right choice. The total mileage on the vehicle is now 70k. I have had no problems so far. I average 19.5 mpg. I commute over the Continental Divide once a month and have never felt short of power going over the mountains ? I?m always passing people going up hill. It performs great in the snow and the Electronic Stability Control is very quick responding. I?ve used the roof rack several times and really like the oversized bars. They?re not flimsy, they give you plenty of room to work with, and I don?t feel like I?m going to break them when I crank the tie-downs down tight. The storage compartment in front of the roof rack is nice for anything you don?t want in the cab with you, wet or dirty clothes for example. The boxy design allows you to utilize every cubic inch available ? no slating rear windows that waste storage space. I?ve fit more than I thought I could on my trips to Home Depot. The plastic floor in the back let?s me throw things back there without worrying about scratches or stains. Buy a cheap rubber mat from Walmart if you don?t want things to slide around. There are also two rails in the back you can use to tie things in place if needed. An intrusive wheel well makes the back seat a little harder to get in and out of, but friends say it?s not a big deal ? try it yourself. The controls are simple, well placed, and easy to operate with gloves on (I have the basic radio which has bigger buttons). In short this vehicle is reliable, practical, attractive, and performs great."

"We've had our 2007 Xterra for 2 years now and would happily jump on the chance to add another Xterra to our garage. Did an amazing job keeping us safe when a Semi truck ran us off the road in Texas last year (09). Smashed up the front end and shattered a rim. We were towing a trailer on the back too. No damage to the trailer whatsoever. The Xterra took ALL of the damage. No hard to the cabin or passengers. FABULOUS vehicle for all kinds of driving. We just bought a 2004 Ford Mustang. The Xterra is our family car, while the stang is the sporty toy. Still prefer driving my Xterra. no problems at all except we had to have the battery replaced recently. Thats it. Insurance isn't real high for it either so its great!"

"For the money it was well worth it. I got a great deal on my 4x4 Xterra. Though I love the car I don't know how long it's going to last because it's been in the Shop so many times. I had a noise issue that never seem to want to go away and had to end up replacing new rear end axle among other things. Maybe quality has gone down hill. It was a lower model XTERRA but had many same features as high end models."
