 I absolutely LOVE my xterra.  Everything from the inside to the outside.  I love the way it sets up really high off the road.  It makes seeing around traffic easy.  I love everything...everything...except the gas mileage.  I am trying to decide if I should sell it and buy something with better gas milage.  I am so torn because I love my Xterra.  If gas milage is not an issue... you will LOVE the xterra.  I get about 15 mpg.  I have owned 3 maximas and put 250,ooo miles on each.... So to me the name NISSAN says it all.  The durability will outstand any of the competitors by far.....
