Fantastic SUV. Very comfortable, roomy and well-equipped. Nisssan didn't use the space of the wheelbase too well so rear passengers will find restricted legroom. My X-Trail manages 30mpg urban, 42mpg extra urban and 39mpg combined, so it's easy on my pocket and kind to the planet. But it is fairly pricy. For £24k, you can buy a fully-loaded Mitsubishi Outlander that has seven seats and better fuel economy.
Very nice car, but with one flaw. And it's a massive one. Try and get three people on the rear seat. Width is fine, but the head rest in the middle seat makes it impossible for any one over five foot four inches to sit comfortably. It does not go high enough to be against the back of the head of any one taller. It is not safe and is extremely uncomfortable for any normally sized teen or adult. Don't believe me? Just try it yourself. It's amazing a family-targeted car can be so flawed. Nissan has just lost a sale.
A very disappointing car. The most expensive I have had and the worst reliability ever. Even my worst Ford was better than this rubbish. Three turbos, two air management units, one engine management unit, three lots of front discs. Can it get any worse than this? Not in my book. All this has not been helped by a very unhelpful dealer and an even worse manufacturer, who has a service department which can't spell service. It's got to be a Honda CR-V for me next time, and next time is very soon.
