What Owners are Saying About the 2003 Nissan Xterra
"Love this SUV"
"Although my Xterra is as bare bones as you can get this car can go anywhere. I have driven this vehicle since I had my permit and I absolutely love it. Very reliable, little maintenance required and very sporty. I will be very bummed when I finally drive it until the wheels fall of because it has been a great car. I will definitely find another Xterra after this one."
"Excellent SUV Design, Reliable, Snow driving +++"
"2001 V6 SE driven from 1 to 125,000 miles, only unforeseen repairs: master cylinder (clutch) replacement, fuel pump was faulty. Drives like a champ and religiously maintained. The Body-on-Frame design and tons of mod space is highly sought after for off-roaders and upscaling the vehicle foir snow/terrain handling. I am keeping mine to the grave"
"Amazing Truck!"
"Bought About a Year and A Half ago for 7500, 1 Year Later I have not had to do anything besides maintenance, Oil Changes, Timing Belt(Did it myself) and it still runs Excellently. Love The Body the Handling and the Power. I dont know why people complain about the power on this thing, sure it isnt a Sports car and your not going to win any races but with Overdrive off and skill with a manual you can get some serious Power, At least I do... Anyway Love it Except that it is a very hungry SUV but I will feed it till it dies."
