Used 2012 Nissan Xterra for Sale

Our Nissan Xterra is a crimson red model with a 4-wheel drive. We had bought it for about $2000 at the time and felt we got a great deal on it. The thing has a ton of room in the back. It makes it feel like you're driving a truck. You can even put the seats down if you need to make more room for other stuff. We got the automatic and you can barely tell when it's shifting gears. We have yet to have any problems with it in our few years of ownership. It handles very smoothly and is easy to park as well. Normally cars give me a hard time because I'm tall. My legs would hit the dashboard and various issues like that. I have not experienced that with this vehicle.

I like the way the car looks. I like the way the interior dash is set up and I like the brightness of the interior dash lights at night. I also like how high the vehicle sits. It handles very well in inclement weather. It is on a Frontier base so it certainly handles more like a truck than a car. It is very spacious. The seats go down but not flush so there is an awkward rise but there is still so much space to work with. I bring my dog on errands. He is 60lbs and there is plenty of room for him to turn around and move freely in the back of the vehicle. There is also a roof rack. I can store my sports equipment on the roof leaving the cargo space open. The headlights are very bright. I think it is a distraction to other drivers but I like that I can see well even when the high beams are not activated. There is a good amount of stability when traveling on rougher terrain. It is a very powerful vehicle. One area that is really displeasing is the gas mileage. This vehicle is 6-cylinder so it goes through a great deal of gas.
