I'm curious about getting an Xterra for my kids, always liked them, but never pulled the trigger. Now I'm into wheeling and this is an option for my kids in the way of price. What are some things that make the Xterra better than the average vehicle and what are some things I need to watch out for?

Good:
Competent off-roader
Fairly civilized on the street
I never get tired of looking at it
Bad:
Gas mileage ( if that is a concern)
They don't make them anymore and they are getting older.
Can't think of anything else.

Get a 2011 or newer

I agree another plus is the factory stereo. I also feel like the turning radius of the X is pretty good too.

Good:
  1. It's cheaper than a 4runner but does all the same stuff.
  2. 2011+ Engine is pretty bulletproof, cheap, and parts are everywhere.
  3. Every time I think that I'm not gonna be able to fit something inside, it always fits. The interior is a never-ending cavern.

Bad:
  1. Aftermarket accessory options and availability are "meh".
  2. MPG blows, especially with significant mods, but I guess it's not much worse than other things in it's class.
  3. Cheap AF looking interior. Doesn't matter to most who buy this car, but if you care about that kind of thing it will bother you

I do feel like if you have a Pro 4X with Leather it makes the interior look a lot nicer.
