Hiya, does anyone have any opinions on Nissan X trails? I'm going to look at one this weekend. We need a decent sized boot for the dogs. This one sounds good and reportedly does 39 MPG????  It's between this and a Hyundai Santa fe

Thanks in advance

We had one for 6 years. Towed really well. One of the best cars we ever had.

We got rid of it because of turbo problems otherwise we would possibly still have it now. Ours was a 53 reg. I'm not sure about mpg but 39 doesn't sound unreasonable to me.

I had one for three years and really liked it, very car like to drive. Are you thinking of new or secondhand? I think we did manage 40mpg on one trip but I think it a little unrealistic to expect that all the time and if you tow it will drop to about 25mpg, at least that was my experience. The new engines may be more economic.

Trouble is the ground clearance doesn't compete with the likes of the X Trails, CRVs etc.

How big are your dogs, I ask as we did'nt take to the Xtrail becase we found it a bit cramped especially with the dog, we already had aTerrano for work so decided to get another for best (O/H does not like cement dust on black dress etc she's very picky) and towing so if economy is not a major factor I would plumb for the larger vehicle
