Favorite Thing about the X

I just got my 2001 Xterra SE 4x4. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I love how this baby rides both on and off road! It is everything I've hoped that it would be. What is everybody's favorite thing about their own Xterra??

Can't really put my finger on one thing, so I guess my favorite thing is that I've driven it 110K miles and still don't want to replace it. Infact, I have no plans of getting rid of it (barring necessity) anytime soon; probably not even within the next 5 years. I usually tire of my vehicles within a couple years, so that's quite an accomplishment!

I guess if I had to put my finger on one thing it would be the utility of it. It's really a great "do everything" truck.

Something like that....

It's different than anything out there, it has that "sporty-rough like", back to to the bones,and what a SUV ahould look and drive like...

GAS MILAGE! Or walking into work with a cup holder attatched to my drink.

I agree about its versatility. Hopefully next summer I can save up enough money to just go do something with the X. Climbing, packing, paddling, biking, surfing. The X can carry all the toys.

Chicks dig it

i like the overall look of the x.

Cheap plastic bumpers.

All the remote places it can get you.

All of the abuse one gets on XOC for the mortal sin of having a 4x2.

Oh, and what everybody else said too.

It can go most places a jeep can go.

It's inclosed.

It's got stadium seating.(the only vehicle I actually like to ride in the back of)

It's easier to park then most SUV's.

And... it's ipsolateral on the back.

I can't put my finger on my favorite reason.

The way it handles and of course its looks

i love the turning radius....
love the gear basket, and the entire roof rack idea...
first aid kit, in the door...
...and most of the reasons above

The fact that I feel comfortable doing anything in the x it's great all around.

I just took my X offroad for the 1st time! You can't tell what color it is anymore! GOD I LOVE THIS CAR! it has everything I want and nothing I don't! to jeep, they don't have Shit on the X!

Couple of weeks ago I did some baby offroading (everything in steps) and got my X dirty too...

I finally understood what everyone talks about (dirty feels good) when I pulled up next to another black X (shiny & clean) on 20's.

Sorry to say the fool looked in his X.

I love my X's versatility...

I love how the passenger seat shakes like a bitch when driving.

I love that black lever just to the left of my auto-trans shifter.

I think these comments were said but i love it when someone in my car brings in my cupholder on accident. Girls always compliment my car when i give them a ride and say im a good driver . Looking in a parking lot and seeing one sexy rackmount.

I love the overall simple & functional design. I think it is a near perfect blend of utility, size, capability, and affordability. I've enjoyed the hell out of it so far.

I like all the hard plastic too because the dogs can go anywhere without tearing things up (unlike my subaru outback, which I hardly drive anymore).

OK, what's not to love...
A Year ago this month we're looking for a new vehicle that will handle the Labrador Extremes, and a little Geocaching adventuring, and with a back seat that'll hold (with some comfort) a FULL SIZED 14 year old son who's bigger than both the parents.
Had been looking at the Suzuki XL-7, but not really happy (have owned several Suzuki Cars which were great)
Sign up at the Nissan Dealer "Hail of a Sale"...
They've got a dozen or so X's with hail damage being sold of at about $5 grand under sticker price because they were hail damaged in transit.
We're moving to Labrador...thousands of miles of gravel roads, who cares about some dents?
First the 14 y/o climbs in back seat and says...holy smokes this is COOL! Little one climbs in beside him...first time she's seen out the front window "COOL!"
Then we take it out for a spin, I say "Holy smokes...this is COOL!" Mum takes a turn, "Buy it NOW, she tells me!" LOVES the Solar Yellow one, it's the only one "NOW!" she says.
Traded tires in for C rated Nobbly ones.
So now we're in Labrador, small winter last year, only 12 feet of snow, no problems.
This summer we go adventuring (back yard here). The wildest roads are no problem, skidoo trails are a piece of cake.
Last week we went to THIS GEOCACHE .
Some friends were supposed to wait for us to show up in the afternoon and give them a ride for the last few miles...couldn't wait till afternoon, they hiked...3 hours with the Mosquitos and Black Flies...we X'd in...nothing to it. If you read our log at the Cache and can't understand the Pirate speak, just read it out loud...makes sense then.
THE X IS THE BEST DAMN SUV EVER!!!!!
A realistic balance between price and utility, sure you could spend a fortune (if you had one) and get a Landrover or a Hummer, but bang for buck...worth it's weight!

WE LOVE OUR X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my x is my perfect man...a little rugged and rough around the edges, sturdy, reliable, a little dirty, and is willing to go places most others aren't.

Yes!!! Damn F%%@*(ing cupholder!!!!

But in addition, I totalled my first X in a nasty bang up with some ice and guardrails, and walked away. Plus, love sleeping and camping and going far away in it!

Just gave Captain No Beard a five truck rating for his post about his X....nice post! And welcome!

BRX

I think that it’s nice when you get stuck in a big ass hole that you get credit for it... and well so does the tow truck driver for pulling another person out of the same damn hole a week before...
I love my Xterra its does what I want it to do and even more... now I need the front bumper don’t know what one I wanna make the rock sliders and wanna make the swing arm ... then I should be done .. Then I will finish up on the inside then....

Talk to you later.....

BOOM..........

It tastes like chicken.

Versatility... Do anything, go anywhere... 5 speed 4x4!! xterraparts... japanese reliability..

The fact that it isn't a Heep!

When I look under the hood, I don't see the word "Chrysler".

It's a whole bunch of things.

I love the way it handles on and off road, especially w/ the Calmini steering system. The way 1st gear takes it up practically any hill without any effort.

The Xterra looks great too, although every day that passes makes me feel like I need to make it higher .

I like the way it refuses to stall in first or second gear. In fact I can pull away in first without even touching the gas pedal. Albeit very slowly of course!
First stick shift that's fun to drive in heavy traffic!

Love the ladder-box steel frame/ body-on-top design

Love the 'rubbery' solid ride as opposed to the 'jarring' solid ride of a unibody car.

Love the sound of the V6 under full throttle at 3,000 rpm

it's paid for

I didn't read everybody's post, but it seems like most peolpe like a certain aspect of the X. That's cool and I agree, it's just that, everything makes up the whole thing and I like the whole thing a lot more than I like just any one thing. The thing with that thing is that you can get anything and everything for the thing and it will still be, just the whole thing. And if you ever had to get rid of any one of those things I don't think I would miss any one thing more than the other thing. My point is: What I like most about my X is that everybody, and I mean everybody, "still" tells me how fuckin'cool it is AND it "is" the coolest 1 in the area, so, I get a lot of heads turning. It's really not anything special, it's just the only one around that has any bells or whistles on it. Mine has little bells with a big whistle. When those lovely people turn thier heads and look at my X, The narcissistic asshole in me is satisfied to its fullest...what were we talkin' about? OH, yeah, love the X.

I like when you have people ask you "What kind of truck is that?" and then say that it is a cool looking truck. I get that when I go to Target as well as when I am at AutoZone.

I like pulling up next to a Liberty/CRV/4Runner/Sante Fe/Sorrento(among others) and having the driver look at my truck knowing that they are thinking that their vehicles couldn't go half of the places mine can and DOES!

I just moved into a duplex in Collegetown, USA and my three roommates ALL drive Xterras. We have our own little gathering, and in the complex itself there are probably around 18-20 other Xs. I love the Xterra because of the community that surrounds it, I mean these things have one HELL of a following and I'm Glad to be a part of it

The M&M paint finish. Nothing says durability like a candy coating. OK, I love the X anyway. Easy to work on.

Its yellow & guys dig it.

no damn electronic 4 wheel drive, that stuff caused my buddy to roll his moutaineer, while i was in it no less
