I have had this car for about 6 weeks and I just love it. The gas milage is better than expected. The 6 speed is extemely smooth shifting, the car feels solid to drive, even in our high desert winds. The cargo area give me almost a full 6 feet from the drivers seat when the second row of seats is folded. Just really love this car.
My only complaint about this vehicle is the low gas mileage, but that's what you get with a 4X4 and I wouldn't trade that in!!!! This is a well built rig with enough amenities for a comfortable ride but definitely not a luxury ride. It's great off road and easy to handle. With the back seat sitting higher than the front, it makes it comfortable for the rear passengers with room for storage in the back, but it's not a full size SUV, so you have to pack light sometimes. I would absolutely buy another Xterra and would reccomend it to a friend without hesitation.
Overall stable. Gas mileage not so good but overall an off road minded vehicle. A little light weight so real snow causes problems. Stable Japanese product, I would give it 3.5 stars but not able. In grade terms somewhere between C-C+. No auxiliary jack in the S model I have but CD/stereo. Not bad transport for regular sized folks, toddler/child seat causes problems with space, a little cramped.
