 Great news for the SUV enthusiast.  Nissan has really done the trick with the Xterra.  Nimble on road, capable off road, easy on the wallet, outstanding performance.  I'd throw stones at similar sized SUV's by the other manufacturers.  This vehicle has long been a hit for the market niche and I would recommend the average individual who needs a slightly larger vehicle to take a test drive.  The fuel economy is exceptional for the type of vehicle and its capabilities.
