    What does this car say about you?

    Practical, no nonsense, gets the job done with minimum fuss- but likes adventure at the weekends!

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Friends - It's a big Ute. But amazed at ride quality and practicality. Concerns about its emission levels. Family - loved it, and have all followed and bought similar vehicles.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes - without doubt. Love it solid no nonsense practicality. With the X-Trail Nissan has given the driver everything that they comfortably need with no fuss.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    I love the X-trail and it would take something special to beat it. So I would look for something very similar, however with better fuel economy/emission levels.
