2011 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 GMC has a great reputation. We purchased the Acadia over the Traverse because it has more features and better styling. see full GMC Acadia review

6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The reputation sucks. We love the car, but keep wondering if we were crazy to not get our usual Honda/Toyota/BMW. see full GMC Acadia review

2006 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 This vehicle is truly made for off-road. It performs very well on rough terrain and in deep snow right from the factory. see full Nissan Xterra review
2002 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Nissan has a solid reputation for a reason - they make reliable and affordable cars. Generally nothing to get overly excited about, but a good performer. Except on the Xterra I love that profile. see full Nissan Xterra review

2012 4dr SUV 261-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Nissan has a lower reliability reputation than toyota and honda. While I agree with that in general, I would say that xterra is an exception: it is on par with 4runner and fj cruiser on reliability and durability. Still, Nissan looks like doesn't care about their reputation in this area. It is actually quite close to subaru in this area - their reputation looks like not important to them, because nowadays they try to impress buyers with all that "innovation and technology" bs, instead of worrying about keeping a reputation of reliability and durability. see full Nissan Xterra review
