Nissan X-Trail 2.2 Di S 5d (2002/52) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Interior trim very plasticky. Front wings are fibreglass which will spring back into shape after a (very) low impact encounter with, say, a runaway supermarket trolley.
Costs
12k mile service intervals. Diesel, so better MPG. Friend with petrol auto not very happy with MPG.

On the road
Driving
Good smooth ride. Grips road reasonably well when cornering. As someone else has written, gear change clunky, especially from 2nd to 3rd.
Performance
Not much range in 1st gear. Good pull in all other gears, even 6th when you put your foot down.

Living with it
Reliability
Done 34,000 in 18 months. No problems. Not included in recent recalls - at least Nissan acknowledge they have to recall! Had a few rattles with glass which needed tightening though, especially sunroof.

Nothing to say!
Comfort
Leather seats fairly comfortable. Rear seats have adjustable recline positions. Higher ride height but lower than, say a Galaxy. Nice large 'skyroof'.
