2000 Nissan Xterra SUV XE V6 4dr SUV 4WD
Going on 4  years...
 I bought the 2000 XE V6 4WD and I am 
impressed with the reliablity and ride 
after +60K miles.  Sure, Gas Mileage 
could be better, but what are you going 
to do.  My X has capably handled 
several snowy winters in the last few 
years and annual trips out on the beach 
in North Carolina.  It has "passable" 
comfort for long trips, but it 
certainly isn't a Benz...Then again, 
there are no SLK's pulling up to the 
surf on the beach! 
 I've had a couple of little rattles and 
squeeks, but overall, I am pretty 
impressed.
