 Favorite feature:

Its ruggedness, footsteps on the bumpers, tow bar, and lots of room in the back. And, the ease of taking out the back seats in 30 seconds!!

 Least favorite feature:

Trying to change the frickin' oil!

 Advice to buyer:

No teenagers, no one with a lead foot, and don't waste time with a standard transmission

 Detailed review:

265 HP engine is way too much for the short-wheel base of this vehicle. Way too much torque. When you punch it, the steering wheel jerks a little, because it pulls way too hard too fast. My wife wrecked hers because of this. Would be ok for someone who wasn't a lead foot though. Lots of room in the back seat, and is the perfect vehicle for camping and playing around. Very tall interior. This is NOT a family vehicle. Big Tires are kinda loud, and it does ride a little more stiff than the Pathfinder.

 Also considered:

2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
2006 Ford Explorer

 Vehicle purchased:

2006 Nissan Xterra
