I have now owned my 06 off road for 6 months. No problems, and I didn't expect any. I was looking at a 4Runner when I ended up with the Xterra. The best price I could find on a used 4Runner was 26,000 for an 05 with a locker. I bought an 06 OR for 25,000. That made the decision easy. I would never buy another Chevy. This was more because of poor dealer then poor quality of vehicle though there was plenty of that. It was just that they never fixed anything that didn't work.

what ever you do stay away from VW... i never had a car with so many electrical problems.. a 2004 and a 2006.

I just sold my 05 Rubi Unlimited and bought an 07 Off Road. WOW. Road tripped to Colorado and the drive was awesome. On the highway I kept it between 75-85. The X was perfect and I made it to CO with fuel to spare. Try that in a Rubi. I recently took a trip in the Rubi to Colorado and averages 12.5 MPG. AAARGH. The X was around 20MPG at those speeds. The best thing? Passing 18 wheelers with ease. Can't do that in a Rubi (slug).

I love it.

friends of mine who work at BMW, ford, and Chrysler dealerships all drive Japanese cars.
