Hello, i have owned my yellow 02 Xterra since 2005, bought it with 41k and currently has 150k. I've had no major problems until recently the timing belt broke as was expected. They are due for replacement at 105k, so i got an extra 45k. I love my Xterra, has great power like it was new, still quiet. the only maintenance done is brakes, battery, redular oil changes. i use synthetic oil, i feel that has a lot to do with the engine's excellent performance! i give it 5 out of 5 stars for reliability.
