2004 Nissan X-Trail Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Nice car, but don't buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turbo developed loud whistle. This has been problem too many X Trail owners. Wrote nice letter to Nissan asking for some assistance even though out of warranty. No help forthcame. Dealer cost new turbo £1007 inc vat plus labour. Have managed to buy new turbo for £650 from alternate dealer. This turbo problem can cause engine to blow. Concur with many other owners. Do NOT buy a diesel X Trail and don't hope for help from Nissan.
General comments?
Very comfortable and economical for a 4 X 4.
