ive got a 2001 xterra. i like it... not alot or hard to find upgrade parts for it. Its slightly underpowered for my taste. If i where you i would definitly get the supercharged model...they didint have it for the year a bought mine. handles good off-road. The only complaint i have with mine is while off roading i went through some bumper high water and that causes a whole slu-of shit problems. Ive seen other SUV's go trough twice as high of water than i did and didnt have any problems. last but not least dont expect to get good gas milage, im lucky to get 16MPG
