"Given the all-round appeal of the X-Trail and its being on the button in so many practical ways, it is almost as if it were the product of a focus group – maybe it is, in which case they had 20:20 vision, in stark contrast to what is nowadays called vanillacide: the downgrading of a product by excessive consultation."

Has anyone come up with a good answer to the lack of a moonroof?
Is there any brand that makes an aftermarket that stands out?
I can't believe an off road vehicle without a moonroof or removable top of any kind?
Ii use mine ALL the time.
thanks

Is this Side and Curtain Air Bags Package really necessary for Xterra?
Thanks!
And also to all the '07 xterra owners, Is there any concern that I need to know before buying one?
Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks
My advice BUY IT. Got mine for $24000 out the door.
Stock sound system is good with deep bass sound.
I ordered mine with no options, when they brought the vehicle for me it came with utility package, mirror with compass, microfilter, retractable car cover,cargo organizer, carpeted floor mats, and some nice splach type pin stipe on side.
Total time at dealer 3 hours. Was starving, ate a 12" sub when I finally left dealer.
Salesman was super. But carry a doggie bag with snacks.
I Like!!!
I'm about to purchase a new '07 Xterra S 4x4 Auto. Has anybody bought one with these specs recently?
The dealership has quoted $25553, plus tax/title/license.
There is $1000 cash back, plus the option of another $500 discount, $500 in accessories, or free lifetime oil changes.
The options included are:
cargo cover, floormats, microfilter, protection pkg, & utility pkg.
Is this a good deal? Just curious what others have paid for the '07 Xterra S 4x4. I may get rid of some of the options if they're not worth it.
Also, does anybody know if Nissan is planning any changes for '08 model year?
Thanks!

Can anyone shed some light on 2wd performance in the snow?
Appreciate any thoughts & opinions on 2wd vs 4wd
Thanks, Larry
You are, of course, welcome to your belief:"No matter how hard you are on a clutch...." and your belief that ...'a clutch is not something you can really catch until it completely goes out."
However, I have found from experience that it is quite possible to cause a clutch on an SUV, car, truck, etc. to go out prior to 75,000 miles if you are hard enough on it. And it is possible to catch signs of clutch problems before the clutch 'completely goes out" That may not be your knowledge or experience. It has been mine in 40+ years of driving and talking with techs since the '60s.
There is no point in trying to convince you of the possibility that your absolute 'No matter how hard you are on a clutch..." or "really can't catch it until it completely goes out" conclusions may not be valid. That is your choice and belief.
You have your beliefs and experiences and others have theirs. I trust my experience and the techs I have known. They have diagnosed clutch and other issues and demonstrated signs of abuse, potential failure, etc.on vehicles I have considered buying as well as ones I already owned. Thorough research, test drives and diagnosis by a skilled tech can help avoid major problems in the purchase of a used vehicle. Purchasing a used vehicle is a series of choices. I haven't always done my research or made the right decisions, but those were my choices.
So use this forum to complain. Perhaps it will help you with your issues.
I am not here to argue with you about your beliefs and I have stated mine, so I have nothing further to communicate. Maybe someone else will be more empathetic.
I was and still am too upset to go on now.. but you get my point.. Lemon law doesn't protect us in this case.. very sticky situation with clutches.. so im all ears as to what to do. Please, in the meantime.. forward this email to all other Xterra owners you know with similar issue
Sorry about your experience. I was reluctant to buy my '07 and I guess I am worring too much about the clutch and watching it very closely too. I don't think they changed anything from '06 to '07 except couple of color choices.
I did talk to several techs off the record prior to buying it and none of them could confirm that there are any known (even not advertised by Nissan) problems that they are aware of.
None of our Toyota clutches went so quickly, my Tacoma has 102K on it, clutch was repaired at 70K or so. I had a Montero too, Mitsubishi and Toyota have really stood by their products. Was Nissan's intent to make a fast buck on me with the Xterra?. :lemon: ...I wonder.
Granted used vehicles will have their own set of circumstances - but someone on this forum sounds like theyr'e with a dealership... I could be wrong...

Don't buy it if you intend on anything but dessert weather or are extremely experienced with an under performing car in bad weather.
You are in a bad situation unless you bought the car brand new, not CPO, and you have had it less than 12,000 miles and less than 12 months.
-If CPO; you should not have signed their warrantee (read the fine print)
*** Nissan will not cover their own faulty installation unless you make sure to make amendments to the written contract/ warrantee
***I have copies***
- If used or CPO they should cover the same 12,000 miles/ 12 months on the clutch along with the general 36,000/
*** see below:
http://www.nissanusa.com/pdf/buying/2007_Nissan_CPOProcGuide0107-R4.pdf
-If new owned; your are equally in jeopardy (please see blogs under Nissan 2006 clutch issues/ even 7,000 miles and under you are not covered.)
Though Nissan will not cover the clutch under any warantee, they have had the 142 point Nissan CPO inspection done, which covers them, not you (how much?). You can have another dealer give you written documentation as to what Nisssan has neglected to do with thier suppossed "Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles". Though Nissan rarely if ever follows up on even their own protocall so you may still have a case, but they will not call you back.
Your best bet, don't buy a Nissan "TRADE IT IN!" ( I have had 3 in the last 7 years, my mistake).
Special note-
***According to Nissan; a warrantable issue is that of a "hard" part such as a "bearing" that goes out, of course they will tell you that the disc caused the bearing to go out not vice versa (even though you have to pay to replace the bearing).
I don't mind the system engaging when it's simply slippery outside - either system for that matter - but when I am specifically disabling the VDC to have the full controll of the the truck I want to make sure I have the full control and none of the additional help is provided.
Also, does VDC work silently or it's somehow tied to the same ASlip light?
Whereas with our '5 Honda Pilot it was almost impossible to get my left foot and leg warm in the winter. Very poor design in my experience.
'6 Jeep Commander had a well designed, flexible and balanced heating system. One of the best I have experienced.
