45000 km in 18 months in my 2010 diesel manual. It's a nice engine, economical, smooth and surprisingly strong. I have driven a 2011 petrol auto and it was scary gutless, very glad to have the manual diesel.
The body is practical and roomy. They were my reasons for buying it so I should be happy. Disappointed with the clumsy handling. It's a nice drive on straight country roads but very ordinary in the bends. I am wondering if better tyres will help. The stock items are just about worn out already and have never been good in the wet. The pric...Read more

Bought new December 2009. Major aim to acquire a vehicle that will be largely used for highway, urban commutes but with capacity for occasional off road and towing / launching / retrieving a tonne and half of boat from steep and often slippery ocean ramps Higher seating position of SUV's much kinder to persistent back problems.
For under 40k drive away with nudge bar, tow bar, roof racks, extra tint this car has proved brilliant. Came with blue tooth, six stacker C.D, ipod connection, six airbags, alloys, all the safety acronyms and dial up 4w...Read more

I love this car. We have found the 'boxy' shape to be a bonus as we have been able to fit all sorts of things in the back of this car that won't fit in a friends CRV (Eg; three bike boxes on the way to the airport - all three fit in the back with the back seats down). We have saved a lot of money in delivery costs in being able to put big items in the back of the car.
We put bikes, prams, dogs, luggage, furniture all the in the back without any problems - and can wipe the dirt away when we are done. The back seats folding down flat is a gre...Read more

When we did our homework for a new SUV we were looking for something that was fuel efficient (with a preference for auto), easy to clean, a comfy ride, good visibility and had to have all the safety bits. It had to have a good follow up warranty and be cheap and easy to service. Most importantly it had to come into our meagre budget of under $30 000 change over price.

We spent a lot of time researching and test driving and the choice came down to a 2008 Subaru Forester and the Nissan Si. The Nissan won out, we got it for a better price an...Read more

2008 CVT Petrol Ti. Currently 60,000km. No issues to date. The CVT is excellent once you become accustomed - there is also the option of 6 preselected "manual ratios. Engine's torque characteristics suit CVT - doesn't flare and rev like some unless you insist on really planting it. Cruises at 1950rpm at 100kph and doesn't reduce ratio on mild grades - when it does it is seamless and quiet.Definitely gets better as kilometers increse up until about 20,000km. Have had to use the full size spare twice so definitely a plus if you go out of town. S...Read more

Very unlikely that we will buy another Nissan, and if we were to change our minds about the Nissan brand, we would definately will not purchase from Dandenong Nissan and Kia
Aesthically pleasing, seats are comfortable, plenty of space for luggage, economical.
We've had our x-trail less than a year and have had two fuel leaks, electric windows have stopped working, stitching on the leather seats has come undone, there is an as yet unexplained rattle in the passenger door and the car has burnt three litres of oil over a three month period.We have...Read more

We purchased about four weeks ago 2010 Series 3 ST model. We previously had a 2002 model, and we loved that car. We were looking at other options in purchasing our new car and narrowed it down to the Honda CRV. The reason why we didn't go for the CRV was it being made in Thailand, whilst I liked the look better of the CRV, better than the Xtrail, I found the interior a let down. I found the Xtrail offered a lot more standard features than the CRV, whilst not that important the CRV didn't have air conditioning vents in the back, the Xtrail comes...Read more

After driving the 2008 Nissan Xtrail, there is no wonder it won "Best Medium Size 4WD Car of the Year". It a great vehicle - both my wife and I would thoroughly recommend this vehicle to anyone. Best purchase we ever made.
My 2008 Nissan Xtrail ST Auto is one of the best vehicles I have ever bought. It is the ultimate in 4WD motoring. It just cruises along the highway with such superb riding comfort for all its passengers and driver. Although it is a 4 cyl. petrol model, this vehicle excels beyond all my expectations for fuel economy and po...Read more

i love love love my xtrail, i brought the TS diesel model about 3 months ago and it has been such a pleasure to drive. i brought this car as i am about to have another child and this car has plenty of room for a pram and 2 baby seats. the love the fact it has curtin airbags makes me feel safer putting the kids in it.. has lots of storage space and i love the heated leather seats and the on steering controls which come standard with the diesel model. worth every penny of the $38,500 i paid and that included chrome side steps, front bull bar and ...Read more

If i had the choice again i would still buy the X-trail and recommend the x-trail even with the EGR flaw in the diesel.
It's a very comfy car to drive and been 6'3 it has plenty of leg room in the front.
We bought the diesel TL, T31, 6 speed Auto 2008 X-trail, 2nd hand with 28000km on the clock and we are very impressed with it. The boot space is large compared to cars its own size I can fit a 80lt camping fridge in and still have plenty of room. The handling is pretty good, I did find the brakes a bit touchy at first (coming from a large 4WD)...Read more

Nissan Xtrail 2.5L Petrol Auto Series 3 Wagon: Excellent to drive handles well and is more than capable of keeping up with traffic under all conditions. Good fuel economy servicing reasonable the trick is to find an accredited non Nissan dealer to do it. Coming up to 55k and so far replaced R/H front drive under warrantey (car is used in mining conditions off road 50/50). Handles wet and snow well.
Good room in front. Nice power. Ease of rear loading and cleaning. Drives well. Good fuel economy. Reasionably easy to park. Excellent brakes. Reaso...Read more

I won't go into the technical aspects on this car - other reviewers have already covered that. But from a Mothers point of view this car is terrific! I have never felt so confident in a vehicle when driving either in light or extremely heavy rain - it just sits on the road beautifully. The interior is well thought out - just needs an ipod docking station.
The biggest disappointment in this car is definitely the blind spots - so much so that I rarely reverse it. As the blind spots are so bad it is also dangerous on the road when cars are just ...Read more
