2004 Nissan X-Trail Sport review from UK and Ireland
"An excellent compromise between 4X4 and Estate car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all which was part of the manufacturers responsibility. The dealer fitted electrics for the tow bar gave problems, but as I am an Electrical Engineer I sorted this myself.
General comments?
The car is a model of reliability and tows my Caravan well. The fuel consumption is very good solo, but drops dramatically when towing.
The choice of gear ratios is good for both solo and towing.
The selection of gears however is marred by a crunch if hurried.
The handling is reasonable considering the high centre of gravity, but is does roll quite a lot.
