2004 Nissan Xterra Review

2004 Nissan Xterra XE

My 2004 Nissan Xterra is more durable than one would expect at that year. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and it is a very high performance snow vehicle. This vehicle seats comfortably for passengers. It comes with a first aid kit and a tire jack kit in the rear end under the trunk carpet. Because this vehicle is a four-door SUV it is not as fuel efficient as many other smaller electric cars but is not at all a wallet drain. If regular maintenance of this vehicle is done when needed this vehicle can last a solid 15-20 years or more. The current mileage on my 2004 Nissan Xterra is a little over 180,000 miles yet it still works like new.

Perfect car for an active family

2004 Nissan Xterra XE

my Nissan Xterra is the best car I've ever owned. It's super reliable, I drove it all the way from California to Tennessee hauling a huge trailer with no issues whatsoever. It's comfortable to drive with nice interior and great feel. It's got tons of space inside but it isn't bulky looking and I love that about it. The back seats fold down completely and there's a ton of trunk space, making family trips a breeze. It's a great family car without making me look like a soccer mom.

My Nissan Xterra XE is a beauty! I had dipped the factory rims in black paint

2004 Nissan Xterra XE

I love my 04 Nissan Xterra XE. It is my every day drive vehicle; One of the best ones I've ever had! Def. reliable, good on gas and great style/look! I love the lift, spare tire compartment and how strong it is built. Only problems I had was a misfire because of 'all-season' spark plugs that were specified for my vehicle but wasn't not the top pick for my vehicle. Next time i'll get the top choice. Also, problems with idle-air-control-valve.

My vehicle is safe, dependable, and efficient.

2004 Nissan Xterra XE

I love the ease with which I can get into and out of my vehicle. I like very much that the body is steel. It seems safe and sturdy. I like the hatch back feature. It is easy for me to load and unload my groceries and other items I need to transport. I like that the front end of my vehicle is somewhat short..Making it easy to turn and maneuver. I have had few mechanical problems with my vehicle and maintenance is usually reasonably priced.

I truly love my Nissan xterra.

2004 Nissan Xterra XE

I love how solidly built it is. I am a midsize SUV fan. It feels safe and I like being a bit above cars so I can see what is ahead of me. Interior is solid and doesn't fall apart. It looks good and I am told its cute all the time. Rugged and sporty. Nothing I would change about it other than getting a new one.

is a good car to use for daily errors

2004 Nissan Xterra XE

it's seats are comfortable and the trunk is very huge and big for groceries has 5 seats and tires are really good with the vehicle / car but do not include aux which sucks big time ! but that's probably the only issue and the air conditioners are good and are the best with this time of heat
