Nissan xterra: most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
My 2014 Nissan xterra is the most reliable vehicle I have ever had. It has 199,000 miles on it and I have never had any issues. (knock on wood) will comfortably seat 5 people and has a big trunk area. The one thing I wish was different is that it lets you know when your tire pressure is low, but it does not specify which tire it is. Otherwise, it is a very nice vehicle that I would recommend to anyone and I really wish they hadn't quit making them.

Sturdy and stable vehicle.
Runs through antifreeze fast. The gas mileage is not the best, but for an SUV it certainly is not the worst. I am very sad that they do not make the xterra anymore. I would have liked to purchase one once this one needs to be replaced. This is a sturdy car that will last years.

One of my favorite details about my xterra is all of the storage.
My Nissan xterra is so reliable. I have not had any mechanical problems with it, and it fits my everyday needs. I can drive around friends comfortably and my dog loves to sit in the back seat. It is also very roomie and an awesome vacation car. Luggage, groceries, sports gear and so much more fits perfectly in the back.

Sad they do not make them anymore!
This is my 2nd xterra. I am sad that they do not make it anymore. I owned my last one for 12 yr. Very dependable. Only ever had to do regular maintenance and that goes for my current xterra which is 6 years old. Great for WI winters and navigating rough terrain.

Black Nissan xterra who still has a lot of life left.
Bought this black Nissan 2014 xterra off of a family member and have now owned it for 5 years. I really appreciate that this car puts up with all the trips we have put it through. The main issue that I have had is with the starter. There have been a couple times when we go somewhere or go get gas and the car does not want to start. Luckily we have mechanics who we know to help us out.

The ease of driving it. Smooth ride, quick reaction of the steering.
I get good gas mileage. I bought the Nissan in 2014. I replaced the tires on it last fall. I get regular oil changes and every 3-4 oil changes, I get the tires rotated. It rides smoothly. It has a lot of room in it. If you put the back seats down, you have room to haul extra stuff. I get around 22+ miles a gallon. It is big enough to do extra hauling, but small enough when you need to park. My granddaughter has been chauffeuring me around. She really likes the SUV.

Nissan xterra- fun to drive! Reliable.
It has a rough idle due to CVT transmission. Drivers side window won't roll up or down. Other than that it's great I have had no additional issues with it. I highly recommend Nissan vehicles!! I have always driven one and have had no problems. I love my xterra!!

It is a standard transmission with a 6 speed overdrive for highway.
This 4 wheel drive off-road SUV has a smooth street ride. Comfortable seats and plenty of legroom. It is a standard transmission so I was able to purchase for a very reasonable price. It had one previous owner in the military and had been well taken care of. Excellent turn radius and visual parameters.

It is 4 wheel drive and that's a good thing to have.
It's a good vehicle that is reliable. It was a salvaged vehicle because it was once a stolen vehicle.

We love the vehicle so much we bought a frontier as well.
No fancy gadgets inside, it is made primarily for outdoor use, and does well with 4x4 capabilities. I love the racks on top, but they are not quit wide enough for a canoe on top of the vehicle. The round racks make it hard to brace items well. The back end is plastic and easily cleaned, I would love that feature throughout the whole vehicle.

The best camping/hiking truck I have ever had.
The vehicle is really for camping. It is reliable in places where there's a lot uphills and gravel roads. It is quiet when driving through highways but a little loud when it comes to freeways. I recommend this vehicle because it has not let me down in 6 years. I would recommend a tire change to meet your adventurous desires.

My Nissan Xterra will pull anything and is also a great recreational vehicle
I have a 2014 Nissan Xterra 4 wheel drive Pro 4X! I LOVE it! I have not had any problems so far and I have over 60000 miles. I have heated seats and all the bells and whistles that I could ask for! It is truly a dream vehicle for me! Not to mention the tow package... We are able to pull out trailer and boat with no problems at all!

It is dependable and can be used for a number of activities
It's just the right size. It's great for doing off road activities. It would be nice if it drove a little smoother on the road, but it really is meant for off road activities.

This is a solid vehicle for winter driving.
I love this car! It rides really nice and pulls a trailer really easily and smoothly. It had great power and is easy to drive in snow and crummy weather. The space in the vehicle is awesome. Can easily fit lots of gear or set up a bed in the back. Seats are comfy and easy to fold down as needed.

With the Nissan Xterra you will definitely be up for an adventure!
I love my vehicle! I live in the country next to a river so in the events of floods I know I can trust my xterra to keep me safe. It is 4 wheel drive which is great during the winter. You can add almost anything you want to it. I have not faced any problems yet. I've had it for almost 5 years.

Perfect for adventures, road trips, moving, driving in the snow, and much more!
I love my Nissan Xterra! I have had it for almost 5 years and have never had any engine, transmission, etc. Issues with it. I am able to drive it to work in the winter with no problem, even if we get a foot or more of snow! The back seats are nice and roomy. The trunk space is nice with back seats that fold down for more room. I have moved a full size bed and dresser drawers in my car! This is my favorite car I have ever owned and I Hope Nissan will begin making them again someday.

Long lasting, looks good,
I wish this was an all wheel drive vehicle since most my driving is in the winter. It currently has 200,000 miles and is still working fine, mostly highway miles because my husband works all over the place right now. The fabric seats make it annoying if you own a dog, but I find the hammock style seat cover does the job.

My favorite part of the car in the interior.
My Nissan xterra is 10 years old and still looks brand new! Interior inside is the best exterior design is still nice and modern, I have had no problems with my car and if I do ever I just get it serviced at Nissan and they always help and check if there is any other problem with my car! Would definitely recommend buying a Nissan great quality and great community.

Nissan xterra pro-4x a great ride.
I purchased my xterra the last year that Nissan made it in a standard transmission. I love the control I get with a standard. I have had only two problems with the vehicle in the six years I have owned the vehicle. The first problem was with the driver's seat. It would move a little and you would feel it clunk on acceleration and braking. The dealership attempted to tighten the mounting bolts but this did not fix the problem. They then replaced the seat and it has been no problem since. The second problem was with the navigation/radio system. One time it ran the radio volume all the way down without my touching it. Another time the lights started flashing. Once I was able to get a video of the vehicle doing this the system was completely replaced. The first replacement lasted about a year when it started doing it again. It was replaced a second time and, knock wood, it has not happened since.

Amazing xterra! Safe, reliable, and fun.
I love my car! It is a 2014 Nissan xterra and it runs so well to this day. I do not get great gas mileage, but I love that I can off-road if I want. It is also very safe- I have never felt uncomfortable or unsafe in it. I am a college student and I truly believe a xterra is the perfect car for me.

It is safe and dependable.
Love the smooth ride of my vehicle.. Love the dependability of my vehicle.... The only thing I would change is the width of the rear doors, they could be a bit wider in my opinion.

Great SUV for active lifestyles.
Had a 2007 xterra but problems developed and destroyed transmission. Love the size and efficiency so decided to buy a 2014 model. This model does not seem to handle as well in deep snow even though they were similar vehicles. Great for transporting sports gear in plastic lined trunk with folding seats.

Nissan xterra experience!
Reliable, minor maintenance, but guzzles gas. For offroad ita dependable and will tow up to 2 tons. Not recommended for long trips because you will spend a lot in gas. But overall the vehicle is worth the money. Not recommended for a family vehicle but will get you around.

Great interior design for the car.
Super comfortable & reliable! Love how spacious it is. The air conditioning is amazing, very powerful, perfect for living in a hot city year around. Gas mileage is pretty good. Great turning radius. Love the interior, back seats fold down super easily to allow for more room if needed to pack the car up.

Great, reliable car. Definitely recommend.
Great, has no problems. Reliable as any other car. Gas mileage is good. Gets you from point a to point b. Happy I bought it. Wouldn't buy anything else. Wish they still made this model but they sadly discontinued it. Would definitely buy it if they made newer year models.
Stephanie C

Great outdoor vehicle, simple and dependable.
Does not have very many tech features, but it is excellent for outdoors use. I has lots of storage, and durability. We loved it so much, we also bought the frontier version as well. I do think the frontier is not as top heavy as the Xterra, but they both still drive well.

It's easy to drive and gets 18 mpg.
I love the look, the comfort, and the feel while driving. There is nothing that I do not like. I wish this vehicle was still being made.

The cup holders in the door as well as 3 places to charge electronics.
It is comfortable for the 2 of bgg us. Our small dog has the back seat completely for himself as well as have a clear view it is dependable, I am 4'11' and have no problem driving or seeing. Cruise control is very simple to operate. There is also room in the back for us to go camping and use a partial tent which attracts to the rear.

I would definitely recommend this vehicle to family and friends.
I love my SUV but the tires went quick! But I love how safe I feel so high up and I feel that my family is comfortable and safe as well. Ok on gas and decent trunk space. There also is extra storage on top of vehicle so it's convenient! I would definitely recommend this vehicle and I love it in black!! Great in the snow too!
Susan M

It is a nice looking SUV and looks cool! Super easy to park.
For a newer car is doesn't have very many extras that would come on other stock cars. Ex. The visor does not have mirror, no electric mirrors, cheap fabric seats. I do like the looks of the car and it drives nice in town. It's super easy to park and see out of.

Nissan xterra, the best versatile car.
It runs smoothly, never had any major problems with it. Gas mileage is not the best. Very comfortable. Large backseat area and trunk area. 4 wheel drive. Has some get up and go to it. I'd say it is pretty reliable. I feel safe and comfortable driving it.
Maddie T

Great fun car to drive when traveling.
I love the way this car drives. It feels like an off roading car but is still very comfortable. I love the space in the trunk and the roof racks come in handy when traveling. The gas mileage is not great but normal for a SUV. The back seat is fairly spacious.

The now defunct Nissan Xterra
The Nissan Xterra is a bold rugged strong reliable SUV. Handles well in the snow with 4 wheel drive. Great safety rating. Not a small crossover, more of a box shape with semi adequate space. Could be extended to give more space in back, Needs a backup camera

Great leg room in back seat.
Economy model. I miss electric locks, I love dependability. I like large trunk. I would like better upholstery the only door lock is on driver's door and is very inconvenient.

Wish they didn't stop making the Nissan xterra!
I absolutely love my Nissan xterra. I have not had any problems with my car thus far and I have had it for over 6 years now! I perform regular maintenance and upkeep as advised by my car maintenance treat which has been relatively inexpensive. I hope to continue driving my car for the next 10 years. It is great for off-roading, hauling, and very spacious for me and my dogs! Love the hard plastic trunk too!

Niisan takes no responsibility!!!
I bought 2007 Nissan Xterra it had transmission and radiator leaks and Nissan was under law suit for this issue in them when I submitted my paper work for reimbursement for the 4000 I spent on the transmission after only having vehicle 4 years they declined to help....I do not find Nissan to be reliable or honest!!
Rachel S

My car is the best, here's why.
I love my vehicle! It is reliable and very trustworthy. I know my family will never be left on the curbside. It also has great gas mileage and the performance of the car is excellent as well. Great acceleration, braking, and overall low maintenance costs. Its awesome!

A compact SUV, great turn radius, is great for transporting multiple pets!
I love my Xterra, I just wish it got better gas mileage. It seems like the minute you hit a quarter tank, gas is sucked out at twice the speed, even if you do nothing different. I also wish the trunk window could crack a bit, cause I have dogs that I do not want trying to stick their heads out the back seat windows from the trunk area.
Mia M

Great in winter weather, great off road.
It runs amazing, runs great in the snow, very reliable, can haul good sized items. Has reliable 4 wheel drive. Has great highway and in town gas mileage. Modern looking and durable, easy to clean. Great if you are a traveler/camper. Relatively cheap to fill the tank.

The Nissan Xterra is made to the best quality standards.
The interior is more comfortable than you would expect. The truck can handle any terrain, it is extremely Versatile. It is spacious and safe. It has good modern features like seat warmers and a built in navigation system. There are no significant problems with this truck. It is built so the driver has full control over the car which is difficult in a car of its size. Great purchase, you will not regret it.

Comfortable car for my needs
My 2014 nissan xterra is the greatest truck SUV I drove. Comfortable,cold a/c, Can see all around no blind spots,room for my wheelchair and things I need. Towing package is very handy for me.Runs good off road and in bad weather. Tinted glass allway around. Roof rack is great for the extra gear. From surf boards to camping equipment to bike transport. Automatic transmission.

I bought the car before I had my son. I love the sporty look!
If you have kids I do not suggest it. The ride is not smooth and you must maintain the shocks. The vehicle is built strong, but is more of an off-road than a family vehicle. I do like the fact that the back seat sits higher up, but the Xterra does not provide much more room than a compact car.

For a considered "small" SUV, it is very roomy, much larger than other "small" SUVs
Best small SUV out there. It looks like an SUV, has 4 wheel drive, all leather, heated seats, drives great!

Bring back the xterra - great SUV.
I love it - there has not problems except things I have done. This is my second xterra and I wish they still made the vehicle. I love that is has a truck frame with the SUV body. It has been very reliable. I wish it was more fuel efficient but comparable to other SUVs for the year.
Rachel W

It is perfect for people who live in the countryside.
Great for hauling groceries, my bike, two kayaks, my dogs, and my friends. Handles snow and mud well so it is a great car for those who live in the country or in areas with frequent bad weather. Comes in all kinds of colors and different packages. Affordable for the most part if you buy used. Steering can take a little while to get use to.

I love the style of the tera, but it is not great on gas. I am very upset that they have stopped making them.

It's a truck but it runs very smooth
Big truck so it's hard to park. However it's an off road vehicle so it's great in snow. It has fog lights. Has great trunk space.
Austin K

The car has had 0 problems, it goes as long as there is gas.
Heated seats, high quality sound. Large carry capacity, very little maintenance needed, 4 wheel drive, great on snow and unpaved roads. It's got fog and spot head lights for camping and outdoor recreation. Main feature I love out of all is the off road capability. Cannot climb rocks but for going deep in the woods camping this is it.

This is a great first car!
This car drives pretty smoothly. I had a few problems in the beginning with loose wiring in the transmission wiring, but once this was resolved, it has been a great car. As a first car, it was reliable. The size is also really good, with good storage and large trunk area.
