| it's an XE. There's no other way to get a manual. You can add options to the XE to make it (almost) like an SE (audio system is an exception, among others), but there's no way to get a manual on an SE. | |

Hi, I'm looking into buying a 2000 Nissan Xterra, but can't figure if the XE is available with automatic AND manual transmission. If I find an automatic, is it an XE, or an SE? THanks |

| I live in Florida and I am amazed that just about every XTerra I look at on any Nissan dealer's lot here in Florida appears to be virtually the same vehicle, except for color: XE, V6, auto, 2 wheel drive with a power package. Hundreds and thousands of them everywhere. SE versions are rare, 4 wheel drive versions very rare and if you want a manual transmission one you better order one because they are nowhere to be found. For somebody like me who would prefer a 4x4 model with a manual transmission, this is really frustrating. | |
| Try finding an Xterra with the side airbags. | |

reading all the posts in this thread, which took several weeks, where have all the happy people gone? For the first year, there was much joy, and comparisons of modifications & experiences, as well as a few tales of woe regarding fuel level readouts and other issues. From about a year ago until now, there are almost no regular posters and the malcontents rule. Why I care is that my wife's vehicle is about worn out (133K miles), and she prefers something that lets her "sit up high." Besides which, we have beaten the dickens out of the undercarriage of the vehicle she drives now when we take it to Colorado. The X looks like a good value. This board has shown me that the gas mileage sucks, but until recently, that it's generally a sound vehicle. We may buy one later this year, so I'll continue to watch this board carefully. Thanks to all who have participated. |

| We are looking to buy a used x-terra for my husband. Although our young children won't be in the car often, I am still concerned about safety. When we tested their car seats in the x-terra, the kids sit VERY high and I imagine this would be a safety concern in an accident. Does anyone else have this problem or have children riding in their x-terra? | |

We just moved elsewhere for the most part. (I started on this board and it was loads of fun) 3 years later and my X is still rock solid, nothing more than oil changes and regular maintenance, plus a great relationship with my dealer. (yes.. it is possible) I still have fun playing with the X and mods, plus the road trips to see other owners are always awesome.. nothing like driving 6 hours to meet people you don't know, and then having them become great friends. I'll try to drop by a little more often...cheers |

Looking at the Xterra as my first SUV. Just wondering if anyone out there had any thing to let me know about how they handle in the winter. I live in the snow belt of upstate NY. I've heard some who say that rear wheel drive suv's are torture,but is that the case with this part time 4WD? |

The stock tires were "OK" for the first winter, (bought mine in Feb.), but I would suggest winter tires. No matter what I drove, always changed the winter tires, makes a world of difference. Overall, the X drives with control & is very balanced, better than my old 4runner. The key is not to overdrive the truck, its not a tank. |
