2001 Nissan X-Terra XE review from North America
"Great for Canadian winters"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
General comments?
I need a dependable vehicle with four wheel drive for our Canadian winters. The Xterra has served me very well the past two years. It has ample power to climb the hill to my house in ice and snow. It is just the right size for me and not too fancy that I have to worry about the dogs that usually accompany me. It is certainly much easier on gas than the Silverado truck I drove previously.
My only complaint is the front seats. They are not as comfortable as they could be and I would prefer that they were power. But after all the kilometers I put on the vehicle, I guess they can't be too bad. It handles nicely on these winding roads and I have been able to avoid colliding with the many deer along the way.
