Need an opion on a car
We have been looking at getting a second vehicle.
Some that we have looked at are the xterra, the Endeavor, maybe a blazer. Does anyone have one of these? Whats good or bad?Last edited by normanvin; January 18th, 2009 at 08:54 AM.

Re: Need an opion on a car
Blasphemy! It's Xterra...I had an '06, loved it. I got T-Boned and now it's gone. I miss it but don't miss paying for the gas.
Never heard of the Endevoe, I assume you mean Endeavor...don't know anything about it, but I would personally stay away from Mitsubishi unless it was an Evo. Even though I used to have an Eclipse.
Unless you are looking for a used vehicle, Chevy doesn't make the Blazer anymore, they have the Trailblazer. I have driven the GMC Envoy (same thing basically) and it is nice.
If you don't mind the bad MPG I highly recommend the Xterra.
I'll add some info for the Xterra:
It drives like a truck, which I liked. It has pretty good power, over 260 HP...very good acceleration. The 4 wheel drive is great...I personally think it looks really good, especially in Midnight Blue. It is a great vehicle for offroading, camping, hauling stuff...which is Nissan's selling point on it. I love the gear box on the roof...great for wet or muddy clothes. All around great truck...I miss it.Last edited by ChrisF4i; January 18th, 2009 at 09:00 AM. Reason: Added more info

The thing about the Xterra is although the ride may not be real smooth it`s a real truck with a ladder frame. They are pretty well built. I just like a lot of room inside so I`ve been spoiled by Rams.
The Xterra a tough little vehicle.

Re: Need an opion on a car
You are correct on all counts. Its still early. One place had a 2008 xterra with 30000. Went back for a test drive and it was sold. Seemed to be a good price. They have a second one comeing in Monday. but it is yellow. We drove the Endeavor yesterday. it has a nice ride. Lots of room.

Re: Need an opion on a car
Nissan is a good truck, but it does ride like a truck. I would stay away from the Mitsu for the simple fact of thrying to find a good Mitsu dealer is like looking for a needle in a haystack. As for chevys I like them, but you need to be to expect that it is a chevy and quality is not what it used to be. I have worked for both chevy and mitsu parts departments. So I have seen it all. Jeeps are always a good choice. Currently I am driving a '08 Kia Sorento for a demo and it is great in the snow wether I am in 2wd or 4wd. In 2wd with the tracktion control on I can't get it to kick the back end out. Hope this helps.

Re: Need an opion on a car
can't tell you what to buy but from me.we have had nothing but trouble with are trailblazer.
maybe cause it's so old it's a 2002,the 4 wheel drive dos'nt work along with almost 2000.00 in motor work just to pass emmisions.just have had bad luck.
i would say i might try it again but would be very aposed to buy used again.most assured it will be brand new.do you feel lucky punk,well do ya!
