Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / March 2004Xterra opinions
I am planing on buying a 4x4 before summer, and i have been looking at the Xterra 2000 to 2003 and the Landcruiser 1995 to 1997. I really like the looks of the Xterra, so i would like to hear from owners on how they like them and is there anything i should look out for. Thanks for the help They are pretty much bullet-proof and much cheaper to maintain than the Landcruiser. > I am planing on buying a 4x4 before summer, and i have been looking at > the Xterra 2000 to 2003 and the Landcruiser 1995 to 1997. > I really like the looks of the Xterra, so i would like to hear from > owners on how > they like them and is there anything i should look out for. > Thanks for the help > I am planing on buying a 4x4 before summer, and i have been looking at > the Xterra 2000 to 2003 and the Landcruiser 1995 to 1997. > I really like the looks of the Xterra, so i would like to hear from > owners on how Xterras are nice. However, they're quite a bit different than Landbruisers. They're both great 4x4s, but the Toyota is bigger and will have a more luxurious interior. It can also tow more than can an Xterra, and will probably get poorer fuel mileage. The Landcruiser is a good vehicle, but over the last 10+ years they've been built more for luxury than 4X4 utility. Ex-girlfriend had a 97. Drank gas like it was water. I don't own either, but if I were in the market for a 4X4 SUV, I'd buy an Xterra or a 4runner. Just my 2 cents.

I remember the old days when you'd be pound driving one across the African plains. Not anymore. Now you drive it to the supermarket (like most SUV's). >Ex-girlfriend had a 97.

No. Actually she's pretty f**ked up, but it has nothing to do with the gas..;) >I am planing on buying a 4x4 before summer, and i have been looking at >the Xterra 2000 to 2003 and the Landcruiser 1995 to 1997. >I really like the looks of the Xterra, so i would like to hear from >owners on how >they like them and is there anything i should look out for. > Thanks for the help Just got a 4x4 super charged Frontier for myself and an Xterra for my wife. 2WD but it really drives nicely. It has a really tight turning radius and drives like a tall car. She love sit and I enjoy driving it as well. Can't speak for the off road side however. Glenn I have a 2001 Xterra and I have been in love with it since day one. However, all good things must come to an end as I will be trading it in this month for a Titan...I'm going to miss it though. Great vehicle.

Drives great and has been through 3 snow/ice storms in the last week with another coming tonight. I went from an Outback, of which I've had 2 and still have one, to the X and wouldn't go back. The 03's have great rebates on them now if you're looking for a new one and the 04's have $1000 but that'll get more as it gets closer to summer I'd guess. Thanks...

I'm not an off-roader. What I wanted was an economical SUV with enough cargo capacity to carry my music stuff (cello, synthesizer, sound system, hardware) to gigs. I also wanted to have passenger seats in the back when I needed them (I drove a Ford Ranger for 9 years). This is the perfect vehicle for my needs at a very reasonable price, and it looks like a million bucks (ice silver!!). I thought I was gonna miss my old Ford truck, but the XTerra is such a great SUV that I haven't shed a lot of tears. I love it! Mike (ODO) I'm looking around as well. What do you think of the roll-over issue with SUVs. Going from a Volvo wagon. And what about the Mazda Tribute. Did you look at that? It's cheaper- what is it about the XTerra that wd make it worth more money? thanks > > |I am planing on buying a 4x4 before summer, and i have been looking at > > |the Xterra 2000 to 2003 and the Landcruiser 1995 to 1997. [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Mike (ODO) The Mazda Tribute is basically the same vehicle as the Ford Escape. With the experience I've had with my 99 Ford Explorer (5 recalls, broken transmission - had to be rebuilt for $3000) and what I've heard from other domestic car/truck owners, my next truck/car will be an import. May pay a bit more up front for the car, but IMHO, I think it's worth it especially since I normally keep my cars for quite a while. > I'm looking around as well.
