The new body style (starting in 05) is completely redesigned. I have one, it's an awesome vehicle and (knock on wood) hasn't given us the slightest problem yet. I absolutely love it.

I have learned to check out EDMUNDS.COM and go to the forums. They have a forum for every type of vehicle out there and owners provide alot of the information. Good luck!

I had a small Nissan 4X4 pickup for over 10 years.. flawless. It could go anywhere, and did.

The only issue I had was the bed started to rust in the 9th year. The cab was flawless however... not a bit of rust after 5 or 6 New England and 4 or 5 NW PA winters.

ANd the bed rusted form the inside (I actually used it like a pickup truck) the exterior still looked brand new.



OOPS this is itsBOB..
Prior to that I had a Nissan Sentra, it too was flawless for the three years I had it.

AWESOME lease options on Nissan, the residual value on a 3 year lease is usually around 65 - 70%. You only finance 30% (or less) of the sticker price for 36 months

I also have a '95 Tacoma that I bought new and still drive today with 170K on it, only thing I had to replace was the starter at 120K. The Xterra hit 50K miles and went to hell in a hand basket.

Check out the Xterra Forums you'll find that although they are some die hard Xterra fans there they also realize that they can be a PIA at times.
