Mine is a 2008. Like I said, it runs really well and I've had no real issues.
It has pretty good power for a smaller SUV. Xterras are also about as off-road capable as you'll find in a completely stock rig (something like 9" of ground clearance), but most people really have no practical use for that. The thing eats snow and spits it out though. During one of the snowmageddons this winter I was out driving around and the only problem I had was finding a route without a bunch of abandoned cars blocking the road.
It gets pretty terrible gas mileage, though, for as small as it is. I kept track of the first 27 tanks of gas I put in it, and it averaged 16.89 MPG.
Mine also shakes like it's going through withdrawals, especially when idling. I've had it looked at, but I'm told that's just a characteristic of some of the Xterras. I got used to it pretty quick, but it can get annoying if there's something loose in the back that makes noise when it shakes.
