2002 Nissan Xterra SUV SE 4WD 4dr SUV (3.3L 6cyl 5M)
Best Suv for the money
 If you are looking for a real suv, the Xterra is it.  From the rugged looks to Nissan reliability, it is the best.  I think the over all ride quality is great considering how well it performs off-road. I can drive my Xterra thru the woods of northern Minnesota and not have to worry about breaking anything. Sure, the motor could be stronger, but it is the same motor that made the Pathfinder an award winner in the late 90's.  I would trade a few extra horse power for reliability any day.
