2007 Nissan Xterra consumer reviews

i was involved in a head on crash with a loaded coal truck. went over an enbankment and into a creek. was able to crawl out of car!! this car is amazing!! loved the ride and will of course be buying another one!! great family vehicle!! we put three kids and our selves in it all the time!! will be a life long xterra driver!!

I bought my XTerra in August 06 and I loved it! Very muscular appearance with the bold front grille. The ride was very smooth and the seats were comfortable. The storage box on the roof rack held the wet and sandy stuff after a day at the beach. It was the BEST truck I have ever owned! Unfortonately I met a brick wall with it and totaled it out. But I walked away without a scratch! Very safe vehicle! Plus it held its value extremely well when it came to the insurance stuff. I look forward to replacing it with another XTerra.

I had driven a fab little Geo Tracker, plain jane 4cyl stick, 4X4 for 10 yrs and wanted to go bigger to tow a camping trailer. I am an avid off road driver, desert adventurer and rock hound, so true 4X4 is necessary. I considered the other four similarly equipped competitors all competent Off Road vehicles. I decided on the X because there are no blind spots, a little extra cargo length, easy operation of things like door handles,seat movement, a level cargo deck and excellent agility. I have had it on long freeway trips and, yes, it rides like a truck: hello, it is a truck! And a comfortable one. I have put maybe 300 various off road rocky, steep and sandy miles on it and it performs exactly like I want it to. I like the auto tranny, didn't expect to as I have had stick all my driving life( 40+years). She has maybe only 2500 miles since mid February, but I see no reason that time will diminish my enjoyment. It is easy to pack, unpack, load rocks into and doesn't notice the extra weight. I have no complaints and will reccomment it to anyone AS LONG AS THEY REALLY NEED A 4X4. I see no point in city slickers having a vehicle that is more than they need - one woman's opinion. The thing I love best about my X is the attitude. it makes me happy to be behind the wheel. All the extras are good, sound system, elec doors, windows, keyless adit, cruise, steering wheel control buttons. It is fun to get there, easy on the hwy and fun when I am there! One note: So far my gas has averaged 17+, no higher, but then, I may push over the optimum, which may be 55? Don't know, but she likes to go at competitive highway speeds which may not be optimum.

We've had five Jeeps(including an Unlimited Rubicon) and were looking for something that was comfortable and powerful on road while still having real off road ability(no car based posers). We seriously wanted to like the new 4dr Wrangler, but it lacked the power , comfort and features on road that the Xterra had. Plus, the X was $3,000 less out the door. The X's engine and transmission really make it quick. It is very civilized inside. The standard track system in the cargo area, easy folding seats and roof rack make it very flexible for people and cargo. Great visibility and rear entry and easily usable space compared to the Toyota FJ.

Lets just say the snow has nothing on the xterra, the suv will plow through the toughest weather conditions without a problem. The exterior is very rugged like and adds alot of character unlike the basic exteriors of the competitors (especially if you add the front and rear bumper guards). The interior is just right, contains everything you need, from the roomy seating to the fully folding seats(if you are into toys this car is not for you). One small disapointment about the xterra is the front head space room, if you are tall you will find it difficult to get in and stay comfortable while driving, though one could get used to it with time. I look forward to taking full advantage of this powerful suv...

I go to VT and my parents bought this car for me because I got a scholarship. Its awesome. It handles fairly well, it can fit all my stuff in it, and its safe which was a real seller when it came to convincing my parents to get this one instead of the GMC envoy. It just looks like a cool college car, I am really lucky to have it. I recommend it to all college kids or young starting off families, and anyone doing a little off roading. For those of you with a typical job and in your 30s, probably not the car for you. Its, big, safe, looks awesome, and handles surprisingly well for a big car.

I liked the Xterra so much that I bought 2 of them! The Xterra is rugged and reliable. The commercials used to say "everything you want-nothing you don't want". That really sums it up nicely.The Xterra had lots of head room and leg room for the driver. I like the fact that the design is originally based on the Frontier pickup, so it's much stronger than other SUVs. The solid rear axle gives it great strength and towing capacity too. Mine went through huge snowdrifts that stopped other larger SUVs. It's styling makes it a cult classic.

I like the vehicle. It's not the best 4WD on snow I've had. Had to put sand in rear. Otherwise, great vehicle.
