Thread: Thought on Nissan x trail

You guys are scaring the crap out of me. I recently bought a 2014 2.5 petrol with the Xtronic CVT. 93k in like new condition. I did the front disc's and pads straight away, just put a set of Copper ATs on it and at 98k it is booked for a full Nissan Dealer service etc Monday. The old tires got me up and down muddy tracks and over wet paddocks without any trouble but just standard road tires and on last legs rubber wise. Did a economy check from full tank at BP Te Kuiti yesterday to Central Auckland off-ramp exactly 200km. As I hit the off-ramp and stopped at the lights it registered 8.7 L/100km. 95 grade. I cruise around the 100k without pushing, all way down Sth Mway at 105k, no blockages. I bought it because I like the shape of that model better than the 2014 new model, great load space with flat seats, decent motor and, believe it or not, a good rep for reliability. Not so fussed on the CVT or lack of low ratio.However, a Landrover it is not. It is a very comfortable ride and well appointed. Maybe I'll change my mind after Monday..
