2002 Nissan X-Trail Sport review from UK and Ireland
"A dog on performance. fuel economy and driving comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Heavy steering caused shoulder problems.
Could not get comfortable.
Seats do not grip in corners, slide around because of nylon covers.
Manufacturer claims 28mpg urban, 38mpg motorway / freeway and 32 mpg combined. Dealer says you're doing well if you better 20, mine averaged 26 on mostly motorway/freeway.
Well put together, spacious, well equipped. Would buy a diesel automatic if they made one with lighter steering.
Rolls in corners.
Appalling acceleration, peak power at 5,000 revs. Not good at towing.
