I have a car for many years and I have had to do no repairs.
I like that my vehicle is big. I like the power and engine. I like the quality. I would like better gas mileage.

It has 4 wheel drive and can carry lots of cargo and handles great in the snow.
It has not required many repairs. Gas mileage is not great. Paint isn't the best and some panels are getting rust spots.

It does not have towing package.
This is an all around reliable vehicle. Good gas mileage for this size SUV and the four wheel drive capability helps for those off-road adventures. Would recommend buyers to check for a towing package due to this vehicle not automatically having one. Would make for better SUV if towing package was included.

My vehicle is an amazing car.
There really isn't anything about my car that I don't like. It's pretty easy on gas mileage, it's comfortable on long trips, it handles well, the stock stereo and speakers are good. There is adequate space for whatever in the back. The cup holders are in a great place for easy access.

My car is tough and fuel efficient.
I wish it was a 4 wheel drive. It is getting older and needing repairs. I do like the way it drives and the a cargo space.

It's a powerful vehicle with a good stance.
The vehicle is spacious and very comfortable. It is big enough for me to go shopping, although finding parking is an annoyance.

Nissan Xterra is awesome.
Bad on gas everything else is perfect. The car has four wheel drive. It is very roomy. The back seats lay down plenty of room to store stuff. The steering is kinda stuff but that was never a real problem. The only problem is gas it only gets like 15 miles to a gallon and that sucks considering I drive a lot.
Jim C
on December 3, 2020
I would recommend this vehicle.
My Xterra is very reliable. I have owned it for 12 years and it has 255, 000 miles on it yet it still drives really well. It is also very comfortable and we take it on long trips. It is also really rugged and with the 4 wheel drive I can have a lot of fun with it.

Hard working Comfortable car
Car has been great, had one major issue in year 3 of ownership with the transmission but it was covered under warranty and fixed without issue. Car started to have problems in reverse, transmission was serviced and problem was fixed. Have had no more major issues with car at all, it is comfortable and still runs great.
Autumn C
on November 21, 2020
Very Reliable, long lasting family car
The overall interior is pretty plain, and there's a lack of cup holders which has actually become a pain at points. It is a very reliable car all around, mine is almost at 300,000 miles and still runs smoothly and I think it will last for at least another 2 years. The only recurring issue I've had is the power connection to the battery, the connectors have had to be replaced twice because they rusted and eventually couldn't keep a consistent current from the battery.

Xterra: fun and reliable.
The xterra is a great vehicle. Dependable and is fantastic in the snow. While comfortable to drive, being a passenger in the back seats can be a bit bumpy and hard to get in and out of the SUV. It is unfortunate that nissan discontinued the xterra. Mine currently had over 200k miles and still runs strong. But I would highly consider buying another one.
Heather S
on November 18, 2020
Just be prepared for a lot of upkeep if you plan to use the car for many years.
As it gets older, more problems arise. Had to replace the drive shaft, catalytic converter, and the timing belt is going out.

Comfort, style and performance
My2006 X Terra is the best. Still going great at 161000 miles. No major problems except just changed out the cadmic convertor. My favorite vehicle ever. Gets me up the mountains to ski and to my houd=se in the snow. Wish they would come out with another one, just like it.

It has been a joy to own and drive. Upkeep and repairs have been minimal.
My xterra has been a great vehicle. It is reliable and has had few major problems except normal wear & tare items like brakes, clutch, tires. It has 223, 000 miles and has never got me stuck in snow, mud on or off the road. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for a SUV that will hold up for a long time.
Maria A

Most reliable xterra for 13 years
I've had my Nissan Xterra since high school. It is my reliable and unconditional SUV. After all these years it runs great and has not let me down. It is great on gas and is low maintenance. It's a very safe SUV. Looking forward to keeping it for a while longer.
Sherry H
on October 30, 2020
Very comfortable. The seating is perfect for 4 adults. There is plenty of room in the back for cargo.
I wish that we could afford another one exactly like this one. They are too expensive for our income level now. Very good car. Reliable and comfortable.

Great power. It sits up high. Suits my needs. Goes anywhere I want it to. I wrecked one before and walked away.
Sydney P

Underrated, as it is affordable, comfortable, and has many features.
The xterra still drives smoothly even for being 13 years old. I have never had any issues with the car, other than a few minor problems (brake pads, new spark plugs, etc.). I take my xterra off-road often, and it rides very comfortably. It also drives through mud, rocks, ice, and snow very well. I have never had a breakdown, nor have I ever gotten stuck in mud.

Overheating issues seem to be common among this model and multiple years too.
Overheating issues with it. Sweet ride just had to put a decent amount of money into it. Lots of room for friends to sit and also carry a lot of luggage. Decent for camping for the weekend. Able to handle itself off-road.
Julia G
on October 6, 2020
It's an overall awesome truck.
The breaks have air in it and uses a lot of gas But other than that the truck runs smooth no rust spots no chipped paint. Ac blows and the heater works. Has a lot of room. Cruise control works as well. Has good gas mileage on long road trips. And the color of the truck is grey.
Emily C

The radiator will have to be replaced every 100K miles.
Very durable and easy to drive. I dislike that Nissan made the car with a known radiator flaw and has refused to fix it. As a result I will not purchase a Nissan vehicle in the future.

Very spacious in the cab, the storage is everywhere.
Very roomy, great on gas, comfortable not loud in the cab. Very attractive and easy to maneuver. The only disappointment is getting out of the back seat. Unless you have long legs it's difficult to hit the ground without losing your balance. Its high off the ground so u have the advantage of seeing more.
Barbara S
on July 1, 2020
Rugged, dependable and reliable.
One of the best vehicles made! Rugged, dependable and built for safety, the 2006 Xterra exceeds my expectations. Comfortable bucket seats in the front with a roomy back row. Plenty of storage in the back with fold down seats to extend the bed of the truck. Loaded with features including a Rockford fosgate stereo system with 6 CD changer, 4 x 4 off-road package and roof rack. Fits 6 people easily.
Nani M
on July 1, 2020
Xterras are great but can be problematic and expensive to fix/ up keep.
I really like the height of my xterra. I am tall and I like the spaciousness of the car. It makes me feel safer when I drive as well because the xterra is nice and high off the ground. I have experienced some issues with the axle of the car when I went to check my wheel alignment. I don't normally go off roading or anything so I thought that was kind of weird. It's okay on gas. I believe it is a 6 cylinder vehicle. I have heard from different mechanics that Xterras are difficult to work on because it's 'like they fit a large engine into a smaller vehicle frame,' besides that, I really like my xterra. I love driving it and it has a really good turning radius.

Storage space you could camp in.
I enjoy my car due to it is very safe for my family. The seats are very comfortable. I often use the function where the back seat easily fold down to give a lot of storage and hauling. I have transported many different items of furniture due to this wonderful feature.

Spacious silver bullet, great for hauling
My Xterra is the best car I've owned. I have put almost 40,000 miles on this vehicle since I got it (had a little over 100,000 when it was purchased) and it runs like a DREAM. I've had issues with sensors going out, but that happens over time with any vehicle. I would purchase one again.
Katie H
on March 22, 2020
Nissan wasn't a good choice!
The 06 xterra has been nothing but problem fuses blow fast had to replace both sensors the security system locked the vehicle for weeks.. The upside the inside is really nice and big enough for family. In future I will not buy a Nissan due to the security system it will lock down your car fast...

Great and beautiful car with 4 wheel drive
It looks good on the outside and on the inside which is a huge plus. It only has 95k miles on it, has been garage maintained, it is a very beautiful car, 4 wheel drive with a 4 liter engine. It looks good and feels comfortable. It is not too big or too small and it's sold as is and has a new radiator with 6k miles on it and aftermarket halo headlamps.

Great for a growing family.
We love our Xterra. It is great for our small family. It has been super reliable and comfortable on long road trips. Plenty of room for large grocery trips, car seats fit well, and we always feel safe while driving it. Our Xterra handles really well on ice and snow. This is the second Nissan vehicle we have purchased used (the first a Sentra). Our Nissan vehicles have by far been the most reliable, lasting vehicles that we've owned. Our only reason for selling the Sentra was that we needed something larger to have enough room for two carseats, our 80-lb black lab, and still have room for clothing, etc. When we go on road trips out of state to visit family.

Bad gas sensor causes empty light to go on prematurely - usually still have 8-10 gallons in the tank.
Wonderful midsize SUV. Decent gas mileage, solid engine and good amount of room. Back seats fold down for to increase area in back for more storage or even car camping. Only fault in this model is a bad gas sensor which lights up prematurely.
Jessica B

It's very versatile being 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive. It's equipped for any driving conditions.
I love the body shape and style. It is built for an active outdoor lifestyle. The trunk being hard plastic is ideal for children and a wet climate.
brendan a

It is tough as well as reliable. I have driven in many conditions including the heaviest rain, snow etc. And I have always felt safe. Also, it is extremely spacious.
I bought this Nissan Xterra used, but I have loved it. Currently I have a crack in my windshield I intend to fix, and the check engine light will not go off. This car is wonderful, and I am glad I chose it.
Cheryl W

Why we love our SUV. Everything you can ask for in a vehicle and more.
I love my SUV it's very comfortable and the ac is great. It sets 5 people and lots of room. I also can put the back seats down when I need to move big items. We have a roof rack and we can use that as well for luggage or what we can't fit in the back. So you see I really love my SUV.
Nancy G
on September 21, 2019
Best for all off-road lovers.
I love my Nissan Xterra because it is very spacious. It is an off-road vehicle and can endure long trips. The only issue is have with it is gas. It is big so it wastes gas fairly quickly. The Nissan has gone through hell and back and it is still going strong. Fits 5 people comfortably.
Meghan N
on August 21, 2019
Great first car or learner vehicle.
This is a great vehicle for learner drivers and as a first car. Only con is the gas mileage, and I have found that little things constantly need fixing. It's very durable and comfortable. The trunk space is very large, and the seats can be folded down to create even more space.
Sonia H

The Nissan Xterra adapts well to varied terrain and weather conditions.
I love this vehicle, it is economical, pretty much maintenance free and a joy to drive. With today's gas prices the cost for fuel has really not been a factor. This vehicle is roomy and quite comfortable. I chose this vehicle because I like the brand, Nissan is a great brand and not too costly when making repairs. The weather in my area is very unpredictable and the Xterra adapts well to all. Nissan is at the top of my list when looking to purchase a vehicle.
McKenzie L
on July 24, 2019
My vehicle is a 2006 Nissan xterra and it is black.
This car is a great car to drive. The only negative about owning this car it does not have the best gas efficiency. Other than that, it can withstand a long car drive. I am the second owner of the xterra and the only mechanical problems was something in the engine went bad and was replaced easily. It is comfortable inside, it seats up to 6 people. The trunk has a lot of space and also a compartment where you can put stuff.
Marina C
on July 22, 2019
Handles well and is eco-friendly.
I like the fact that is a tall vehicle. It also has a great radio. For the size it has it does not use that much gas. Which it is great since I drive a lot. Sometimes really far also.

Worth the investment. All around reliable vehicle.
This vehicle is very reliable. It rides very smooth even though it is a four wheel drive vehicle. It gets great gas mileage. The only maintenance has been regular, no big breakdowns. The interior is very comfortable. It has a surround sound system. There is room for five very comfortably. Mine also came with a luggage rack which is very convenient for long trips.
Melody B
on June 27, 2019
The comfortability driving without feeling uncomfortable on long trips
Love everything about it even the style and look of the interior and the 4 wheel drive is amazing on it. Also have enough power from the motor so it doesn't feel like the motor is struggling to move forward due to the size of the vehicle. Most SUVs that are this size seem sluggish
Pamela M

Standard Xterra could be used for towing a trailer or RV.
Love my xterra lots of room. It's sits up high for great view of the road and riding comfort. It's a standard transmission which gives me better gas mileage and acceleration and stopping power.
Pamela L

Terrific vehicle, easy to drive and enjoyable.
Second Xterra purchased. Good size for my three dogs. Feel safe while driving, SUV is built on a truck chassis. Comfortable seating even for my bad back. Enough power to make quick moves when necessary. Maintenance is realistically priced. Stereo good. Ac and heat good. Dash well organized.
Crystal H

Comfortable and roomy automobile.
I like my Nissan is very roomy. I tie things down in the back to tie down rings supplied. The back seats come out or lie down for a flat surface for the back. The seats are comfortable and the driver seat has adjustable lumbar support. Getting in and out of the vehicle is very easy, no bending down.
Charles R

2006 Nissan xterra. It's a decent vehicle but not for someone with a family.
It is a nice looking vehicle, it is very reliable but not the most comfortable and does not have a lot of bells and whistles. In my opinion it would be more suitable for off-road use and not for someone who does not have children as there is not a lot of legroom in the back seat.
Robert P

Elizabeth T
on February 22, 2019
Highly recommended vehicle!!
My Nissan is one of the best choices I have ever made for a vehicle. It is a little older, but it is still going strong for its age, and the fact that there is almost 150,000 miles on it, I have no complaints. It rides comfortably and smooth. I have never had any major mechanical problems with it, just routine upkeep for a vehicle of this age. I would highly recommend a Nissan xterra to anyone looking for this type and size of vehicle. I would certainly buy another, if the opportunity arises!!

'06 Nissan Xterra. Solid and reliable!
Nice reliable vehicle. I drive to and from work along with long road trips and it is very solid with no problems ever. 4.0 v6 that performs pretty well given the weight of the chassis. 4 wheel drive works great. No transmission problems. Very taken care of and reliable. Only downside is the gas mileage, but it's and off road vehicle so I can't complain. With a set of all terrain tires you can go anywhere.
Savannah P

I love my truck, the best I have ever own!
I haven't had any issues except for. Normal wear and tear that you need to replace, has loud road noise but it is a off-road edition and that is expected. Comfortable driving with a decent amount of room in the front and backseat for long legs. I love my truck.

2006 Nissan xterra only purchase if your smart with security systems
Everything from the fuses to battery to relays to computer. Since we got truck it has been a problem looks great but nothing but problems. The security system is a mess it will shut down the vehicle so fast it is so expensive to get. Out of the shutdown

2006 Nissan Xterra awesome reviews.
Great vehicle, strong motor, great suspension. Only troubles I am having is the quality of the paint. Have several spots on my hood losing clear coat. The interior is very durable. There are a few squeaks from the body locs coming loose. Besides that only thing serious that I have replaced is the drive shaft.

Nissan XTerra Car Review
I love my Xterra, its durable and has lasted me a good while. The only minor problem with it is the gas gage is no longer working, although this isn't an issue to me because I know how many miles per gallon my car gets so I just multiply the two and together and track my miles every tank. That is the only minor issue and I really do not find it to be a big issue as the care runs very well still. My Xterra is very reliable I have driven it all over the state and it has held up very well. As far as comfort goes, I would say the car is perfect. It's very comfortable and I have a big ol' dog that fits perfectly in the back with plenty of room for luggage and cargo. Overall I love my Xterra and would highly recommend.
Debbie B

Cat B

I love my Nissan so much!
I love this car. It has not given me much trouble and I have put a lot of miles on it. The only thing I do not like is that it is not 4 wheel drive. Most people think it is but it does not handle well in the snow. The gas mileage could be better but I do not think it's terrible. I intend to keep this car as long as I can.
Amanda H
on November 19, 2018
Solid vehicle, great interior space, love the style and functionality.
I love the size and style of my SUV. It hauls well and performs well in all 4 seasons. What I do not love is the gas mileage. I have also read online that a lot of the sensors are faulty, which has proven true for me. Even though my tire pressure is accurate, the sensor light is always on. Also, my gas sensor malfunctions stating I am low on gas even when my tank is full. Other than those issues, for a 12 year old vehicle, it is solid.
Ruth H

My Nissan xterra has a roof rack that has a maximum total load of 150 pounds.
My Nissan xterra does very well in all weather conditions and has a good gas mileage when driving on the interstate or in town. It has a lot of space for carrying stuff in the car and my car has a rack for carrying stuff on top of my car which is super helpful. The front seats are comfortable and spacious but the back seat does not allow for a lot of legroom and the back doors can be hard to get out of because of the wheel well.

The storage space on top.
Xterra is heavy duty, reliable family vehicle. I will be buying a new one when I upgrade. I would recommend this to anyone. The only problem I see with mine is the space on the inside. I have a toddler and an infant. This makes it very cramped. More space would be nice.
nick Z
on November 2, 2018
My xterra is awesome. Very spacious for kids and pets.
I bought my Xterra used and have put a little over 100,000 miles in the past four years. My Xterra keeps plugging along as it should. The only thing I've replaced is the serpentine belt and the brakes. Next, is the secondary time chains and tensioners, which is an issue that everyone with Nissan's 4.0 V6 has. $1,200 for that repair, though. Despite that, and the annoying noise it makes, I love it and wouldn't give it up. I've converted many of my friends to being Xterra fans, and I'm a lifelong Xterra man now.
