Love my xterra! Perfect to haul my kayak and hit mud trails.

2001 Nissan Xterra SE

I absolutely love my xterra! Drives like a tank! For an '01 I am very pleased with how it drives. I haven't had it long but so far I have not had any issues that were serious or that I couldn't fix (ie changing a blown fuse) I do use it as an off-road vehicle and it is made it through every trail we've hit. Has a good bit of cabin space. Honesty whenever this one is no longer fixable I hope to be able to find another one to purchase.

Very reliable and perfect for daily use for a small family.

2001 Nissan Xterra SE

My vehicle is old but very reliable. It has 150,000 miles and counting and has not given me any problems yet. The ride is not as smooth as I would like it to be, it's a bit rough but I do not have any complaints. It is spacious enough for me and my 4 year old boy and all of his toys and has plenty of trunk space for hauling his bike and for luggage when traveling.

It comes with 4 wheel drive and comes with a nice ski rack.

2001 Nissan Xterra SE

I bought this car used with 150k miles on it has 4 wheel drive I love it. But I have also had quite a few problems with it and the gas mileage is terrible but it does come with plenty of room inside if you have a family this will be a nice fit it also comes with a ski rack on top making it easier to haul things like bikes or canoes with.

2001 gas eating Nissan Xterra

2001 Nissan Xterra SE

Great reliable car just horrible gas mileage. It's also pretty gutless for being a v6. The valve cover are notorious for leaking oil onto the exhaust and the power steering system is not a very good design either. The main line is right by the pulleys and if you don't replace it with an aftermarket one it rubs a hole in it.

- Jason L

Absolutely love the Xterra.

2001 Nissan Xterra SE

I absolutely love my car. I really haven't had any problems with the car besides one time when my tires had this terrible squeak, but that was a super simple fix. I would totally recommend this car for anyone that might be looking into buying one. For reference I'm only 4 foot 10 1/2, and I can drive this car .

Nissan Xterra 2001: Pros and Cons of Car

2001 Nissan Xterra SE

So far I haven't had any problems with my car. I just recently bought it so I'm still getting used to it. My car is old so it does have some rust on the inside and outside of the car. It makes some squeaking noises when I turn the wheel but other than that, it still runs well for a 2001.
