Dead-Eyed Duck Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Been thinking of getting one myself. Pretty good write ups, plus that enormous sun roof is ideal for lamping out of. I had two Subaru Foresters with such sun roofs and they were absolutely chuffin marvellous Besides, only dinosaurs use Landys and such like Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Ive got one 2003 model with 99000 on the clock had a spot of bother with loss of power which turned out to be the air flow meter they are great shooting trucks if you know yours and the cars limitations.....they would have been fantastic if they had put a low range box in..... On a run i get up to 40/45 to the gallon..... I am looking to replace now with a younger one with less miles on.....just have to convince myself..... Insurance is £265 a year fully comp (old ****** with full no claims) with ecar. but i also like the vauxhall signum...lol.... decisions decisions...... shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mec 9000 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Had an X Trail for a few years, good car but as a shooting vehicle it had too many limitations for me but then it depends on type of shooting you are into. Three Labs in the back with little space for rest of the gear which had to go on back seat, doggy smell always in car when using for family, back box too low for off road work. eventually bought a Navara Outlaw which solved these problems and the cab stays free of doggy smells. Had an old series 3 Landy which served me well for many years and have now gone back to a long wheelbase Landy for shooting, always loaded and ready to go, fold down bed and cooker fitted. Would I have another X Trail, yes but as a family car only. In the shooting field with dogs and all the stuff one gathers for shooting the Landrover rules and I will take my Landy where you won't take your shiny new X Trail. I also think that the Landy adds credibility and have not had many refusals for pigeon shooting when I arrive kitted out for the job.

Greeky Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Well i had a look at these and decided to buy a Mitsubishi Shogun sport. Much better for offroad. But if your using your x-trail to just drive to the shoot and dont need to drive as much then it will do. I have over 100,000 of acres to shoot over and needed a reliable car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I bought a new X-trail in March and I must say I am impressed with it. I get 35-37 mpg around town and 40+ mpg on a journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyxologos Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I bought a new X-trail in March and I must say I am impressed with it.

hurstpol Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I have a nissan x-trail 2.2 sport, I get 36mph round town, but when I went to France, I had 4 up and I run battlefield tours of the Landing beaches and got 44mpg around the roads of normandy, but back home still get 36mpg but to be honest my trips are usually short, but it is a great motor, and I have had loads of Discovery Tdi,TD5, and the xtrails holds its own.
