Overall I think this is what the 2002 refresh should have been. No offense to people with the 2002 - 2004 models but they just don't seem to fit in the evolution. I do think the interior of the 2002-2004 run is better than this though. The interior is too similar to the 2005 Frontier and Pathfinder. I think they are too bland and uninteresting. What I like the best is that this makes my 2000 model still seem pretty fresh and stylish. Often when a new model of a vehicle is introduced the changes are so radical that the outgoing model looks extremely dated, but with the 2005 Xterra my 2000 seems to still be fresh.
