There are a lot of rough plastic surfaces inside the cockpit, but the driving position is bang-on, with the biggest advantage being excellent visibility. There's none of that hat-pulled-down feeling you get in the Hummer or FJ. Just as fast as the FJ in acceleration, the Xterra is the least compromising of this trio in everyday driving.

Thank God. Because I bought my Hummer for twisty two-lanes. For an on-road/off-road comparison, he seems to put a lot of stress on the on-road aspect.
