    Xterra reviews?

    in General Forums

    Posted

    I have an 00' Xterra so I guess I am allowed to take part in this thread now.

     

    As far as most first year models go, they usually tend to have a group of problems that come with them. My X has 160,xxx miles on it currently and she runs amazing. The power difference is noticible when going from a WD21 to a WD22. They are pretty well set up for longs trips and what not. By this I mean, the interior is set up pretty well for placing things in pockets and holders within easy reach. The one problem I have always had is that the back seats don't fold down like the pathfinder. You need to remove the entire seat cushion then fold the seats flat. (kind of a pain in the ass wen trying to find space for the cushions after) The only problem that needs addressing currently is my fan clutch? Or so my dad's friend says. The fan wont turn on while she is hot and it is causing her to overheat when you shut the engine immediately after driving and don't turn off the ac also when using the ac in local traffic. Other than that, you will be changing to Drum brakes in the back (They have been working just has good as the pathfinder) and alot more plastic on the exterior. The only problem I personally had with my drum brakes were a piston in the brake blew. My dad and I had to change the piston and then bleed the brakes. I have seen some guys throw a WD21 rear axle on their X's to give them disk brakes. You will also be introduced to the not so fun world of leave springs. I personally don't like leaf springs. I like my coil springs like on the Pathfinder. For a normal DD they do not hinder any abilities you would need on the road anyways so it shouldn't be an issue. The steering with these vehicles, I'm not sure if they fixed it over the years, is extremely stiff compared to my WD21 steering which I can turn with my finger. So be wary of that. Other than that the WD22's are pretty great. They heat up much much faster than my WD21 in the cold. My X has more power to play with (still not enough, thinking about going supercharged). They get pretty okay mileage. About the same as my WD21 which gets 17 mpg, 20 if my dad drives apparently. I doubt I ever got more than 17mpg's out of my X but I love her.

    What did you do to your Pathfinder today?

    Damn. you be cleaning your truck like erryday.

     

    Lots of free time, Very weird weather, and a trunk load of cleaning products makes for a very dangerous combination. LoL

    Plus its nice to be the only clean car after a rain. When there are no "real" placed to wheel in Queens and you park in a lot full of Lexes Benzes and a few Porches here and there, a clean truck is all I can have. LoL.
