2006 Nissan X-Trail review from North America
"This was a good buy, but there are a couple annoying issues, like fuel economy"
General comments?
Front cup holders do not fit a standard medium or large cup of coffee well. They appear to be designed for cola drinks or water bottles. If you're a coffee drinker, bring a towel with you.
Fuel efficiency is only 24mpg, mostly on 110 kph highway conditions, which is considerably less than the advertised 26 city, 35 highway.
It has a very comfortable ride.
The price is great.
The car is perfect for people with a dog, like ourselves.
The interior is nice, except for the cup holder issue noted above.
