shaun4860 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 i had an 03 xtrail with 99000 miles on it, only problem i had was an air flow meter which produced a massive loss of power, since traded it for an 07 model but nowt wrong with earlier ones..... shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauer Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Along with off road x trailing, laugh my socks off, oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! whats so funny bout taking the x-trail offroad? not everyone can afford to run a huge engined "proper" 4x4 alongside a "family" car also 99% of the ground i have i can get away with using x-trail it does admirably what i require of it...which also includes launch and retrieving a dive rib from shingle beach with no slip way!!! so my circumstances dictate i dont need a huge 4x4 ...would like one for the ability yes !!! but not viable for me at the moment so lets see 5 door 4x4 that does what i require of it does 36-38 mpg way i drive it fulfills all requirements for me regarding 2 young family maybe before you jest at others situations look at yer own. sauer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
