My name is Troy. I live in Ky and will be buying a new car soon. I was thinking about an Xterra. So I am here to learn about them. I am not new to the off-road world. I am normally a Toyota fan but the Xterra has really caught my eye. I was thinking about Factory Ordering an 2008 model and Need to learn more about them. Do they Supercharge them anymore? If not why?

welcome to the club, i havent really heard much about the 08's

A big Texas welcome from sponsor Alamo Oil and let me know if I can help you with lubricants information.

the new ones have more power than the supercharged ones ever had. Its just one more thing to break. But, you can always buy a aftermarket supercharger for the new one if you really want to.

Had my 2006 xterra SE 4x4 about 9 months now (7,600 miles):

-comfortable for sure, huge cabin
-great power, no issues, fast for a truck, but not "fast"
-only issues are one rattling passenger window, and LOT of squeaks from suspension both front and rear

Best feature for ME: the rockford stereo option. This stereo is just as good as lot of aftermarket systems I've had. And the best OEM stereo I've ever had period. I added oem SIRIUS the week I bought it. In fact, the stereo is the main reason I dont want to get rid of it yet.

Do I regret the purchase? no not really. sure sometimes the gas milage bothers me, and I want a sports car. But it does the job and is fun to drive.
