 This truck replaced a leased 2001 
Frontier CC 4WD 5-speed which was 
trouble free at 42K miles.
 Although we haven't had this '03 long, 
I believe that it is quieter and rides 
smoother than the '01 on the road. The 
automatic keeps the engine running at 
lower revs on the interstate, and that 
helps. I also like the seat fabric 
better on this '03 XE than the '01.
 Squeaks and rattles weren't a problem 
with the '01, but this truck feels very 
solid with virtually no rattles even 
over bumps and ruts.
 In summary, it has most everything I 
liked about our 2001 with some 
evolutionary improvements.
