    5 Stars X-Trail on trial 04/02/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Style, advanced technology , well laid out interior design

    Disadvantages Disadvantages supply and I can't afford one!

    Nissan's X-Trail went on sale in October 2001 . It is an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) aimed at both the medium and small sized 4x4 sector known as "Compact 4x4". It is competing with established vehicles such as the Freelander, Honda CR-V and Toyota's Rav 4, it is in direct competition with Fords new Maverick and Jeep Cherokee and is proving to be a huge success for Nissan. 50 years experience of building 4x4's makes Nissan one of the longest established manufacturers. Nissan have cleverly combined 4x4 chunky looks and a level of passenger car comforts and performance to give an exiting and ... more

    5 Stars This is how motoring should be ! 24/07/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A 4x4 that handles like a saloon

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Diesel turbo currently an unresolved problem it seems

    As a family man with 2 growing children, who drives a lot of motorway miles on business, and lives in the sticks where they dont grit the roads in the winter, I was looking for a car with a lot of room inside to carry goods about, which would be fun to drive at the weekends as well. The Nissan X Trail fits the bill perfectly. I chose the Sport variant with the 2.2 Diesel engine which has the 6 speed gearbox. On the motorway, the car is quiet, responsive, and the high seat position offers an excellent view of what's going on ahead. On more windy roads, the diesel pulls and pulls even in 6th ... more

    4 Stars Nissan X Trail 2.2 cdi Sport diesel 23/08/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks, space,comfort, torque , fuel economy for big vehicle, reliability

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no cruise control, no on board computer (well I had to say something)

    I bought this vehicle in may 2004. It is a cdi sport 2.2 diesel with the 136 bhp engine. I paid £19400 for it which was a fair price but no bargain, this was because demand was outstripping supply at the time. Looks For me it looks the buisness, externaly the lines are good and the rear spoiler adds to the look. The interior needs a little getting used to as the clocks are centrally located and not behind the steering wheel which proves to be a good position for viewing the clock. Performance and handling This thing motors. The acceleration for such a big vehicle is awesome. It is great for ... more

    2 Stars Doesn't live up to its promise 08/11/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Ride, performance, comfort

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Reliability, noisy

    I have had a 2.2 dCi SVE from new for 2 years, and while the concept is good, the reality is tempered by some serious faults, several minor niggles and hopeless customer support. The Good. Good ride on most surfaces and excellent performance from the diesel engine. Reasonable gear shift and generally well placed controls. Air conditioning and heated seats are great! Amazing off road! Satnav excellent (but map update not available) The Bad The boot is not as roomy as the size of the car suggests it will be. The shiny boot lining is rubbish - get a liner as soon as possible. The hard plastic ... more

    5 Stars What a motor! 16/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to Handle, New layout, Excellent all-rounder

    Disadvantages Disadvantages umm...no button to fold the wing mirrors in

    Well, I bought one of these babies in Februrary this year (2004), so obviously it is the new model. I've got the 2.2 Diesel Sport (136) in Silver (which has just been added to the colour list). To say I am pleased with it is an understatement really, and the fact that it recently came top in the 4x4 under £20k challenge on 5th Gear just proves I am not the only one. To start with, it looks good. Less square that say the Freelander, less bulky that the Hyundai Santa Fe, and less 'school run' than the Rav 4. It has a huge sunroof (obviously I can only speak about the model I've got) that tilts ... more
