Just ask Jason T. the acceleration in one of the new xterra is unbelievable.  The rear of the vehicle is rubber and is excellent on a offroad trip to just hose out the back of the vehicle. Back seat sits up like stadium seating this is very nice for driving on the parkway or where they need to look out of the vehicle.

Pros — Offroad capabilities and acceleration with a SUV.
Cons — Why cant they just let you come and pick put the car and not have to pay so much.

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Pros — One tough truck. It is a true SUV. Fun to drive and great off-road.
Cons — None. It has excellent on-road manners and amazing off-road capabilities.

Reviewing: 2008 Nissan Xterra S

the car has about 13mpg city miles and about 16mpg highway miles to the gallon. However,
the car is quite fun to drive. and is accessible anywhere. It can fit in those New York City
garages that don't take SUVs and it comfortably seats five with a large trunk. The stereo
system in my car has a six disc CD changer with 9 inch performance speakers and XM
satellite radio standard.

Pros — great handling, easy to drive, handles any terrain
Cons — eats away at gas quickly (13MPG city, 16 MPG highway)
