I bought a 2012 T32 with 20,000 on the clock. It now has 54,000 and it has never missed a beat. Highlights are a fuel economy of 10L/100Km mixed and 12L/100km towing a 16 foot Jayco poptop at around 90-100km/hr in all wheel drive. After a long run I don't have the back aches and pains that I have had with past cars.The choice of 4WD/all wheel drive or 2 wheel drive is great and service costs are very reasonable. The suspension is great and a lot of thought has obviously gone into this area.

Purchased T31 Xtrail 2011 ST model with 50000k,s. on clock . My previous vehicle was a Falcon wagon. I tow a 4.5 mtr boat & a reasonably heavy general purpose trailer. I have very much appreciated the Xtrail's design & general build quality. It's efficient use of space compared especially with the Falcon wagon is impressive. The CVT gearbox efficient. The only criticism I really have of my choice after 10 months ownership is that it uses as much fuel as a 4 litre Falcon!

Our son bought one, loved it and we decided, after test driving Rav 4, Forester, Crv Honda, we would get one as well. Very solid throughout, good economy, comfortable, and goes well [CVT petrol]. Pulled a 1 tonne camper for a few thousand K's and still got 10.1 l/100 k's. AWD is a bonus.You can sleep in the back.UPDATE. Now had vehicle for 3 years and have towed a couple of different caravans. 70000 k's on the clock. Have replaced a small bulb on the map light (free of charge). Very happy so far. Rear sensors are very handy.
Great economy, solid, comfortable

I actually using this for my business so It is being used everyday for long trips in regional and outback area. The performance is really smooth and it is very comfortable inside. I'm happy and looking forward to the next years edition. It's a bit pricey compared to competitor brands but I love nissan ever since

Love our 2012 xtrail auto. We go camping and tow a boat never had an issue. great on fuel. Love the storage draws in the boot. so easy to park, i owned a kia rio before this so was very nervous about a bigger car but absolutely love it. So glad we decided on this and not cx5.

I have a 2008 X trail TS (2.0 diesel)6 speed manual.It is a great family SUV with good economy/power . Read many bad reports re the diesel particulate filter issues.The warning light comes on and you have to give it a good run up the freeway to blow out the filter. Worked twice a year for two years then last time the engine light came on,dealer had it two days,cost $300 dollars with warning that next time could need a new filter ( around $5000).Car is less than $100k kms this fault is known to dealers and a thorn in the side of owners. Nissan should come to the party replace the system and restore the bullit proof image X trails have had prior to the DPF.

I have a 2008 X TRAIL ST 2.5 petrol 6 speed manual which has travelled 185000 ks.Apart from regular servicing this thing seems bullet proof.Great to drive plenty of power,no complaints.

I have a 2008 X Trail ST-L. Just recently I thought about replacing it but so far I don't see anything that comes close for a reasonable price. It's been a great car for me and looks like it will be for a few more years.

2012 2.5 35.000 Klms has Bad piston slap Dealer states this is normal at that milage...This is my third and LAST Xtrail..back to Toyotas for me

My fourth car and so far my favourite! The xtrail has had no issues so far and has proven to be a solid car for any urban terrain. Haven't taken it off road but it has never been bogged in any sandy car parks. I will find it hard to find another car like this. Being tall (6"5') makes it hard to find a car that is comfortable.
roomy great for tall ppl and smooth drive
Bluetooth phone link is hard to figure out

We purchased our diesel manual xtrail in 2010. Loved it until things started to break. And I mean expensive things.
The DPF filter, 2000km out of warranty, $3,700.
Transfer case @ 110,000km.
Clutch @ 116,000km. The clutch costs $4,000 to replace?
We've taken this car on the beach twice in 5 years. Never been stuck or bogged. Never towed large amounts.
Biggest waste of money for us ever. Big regret.
Currently on the market for a new car.
Powerful enough, good size, comfortable.
Expensive stuff keeps breaking, massive sun visor blocks view, bad blind spot created by front drivers side pillar.

I own 2008 x trail diesel
Good space comfortable excellent fuel economy. One big problem
EGR sensor was replaced at 100 000 km.
and now needs replacing again at 145 000km service dep says this is in usual but from what I read it is quite common.
Any suggestions any one
Nice car good space
Sensors too sensitive and need replacing every 12 months
