Trainman Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Here is a review of the 2005 XTrail. Review Link Any thoughts or actual experiences with this vehicle as far as off road capability goes? Except for lacking a low range, it seems better than the other cuteutes out there with a mini version of Nissan’s AllMode 4wd and 7.8 inches of ground clearance. The reviewer is pretty up-beat about it off road abilities. Looking for some thoughts as a potential future replacement for my 02 Pathy. The XTerra is too much 4x4 for my needs and the 05 Pathy is not to my liking. Thanks, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runnerman Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Well going from a pathy to an X-trail why . Why though :confused: The X-trail does have some neat nicknacks eg. heated or cooled mug holders. But offroad well take it out on a test drive and see you will not go 1/2 as far where your Pathy can go. You can get the S version of the X which is more base no Locker, smaller tires and less G/C by 1/2" but still great offroad. That version is about 2800 cheaper then the O/R pkg. Oh BTW I am averaging with the O/R pkg 05X 460-480Km per tank of mixed driving mostly city and some highway and on just highway I was getting an average of 510-530 per tank. I am very pleased with the mileage this was going 109kph Just under the Radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 i think this is basically a car just like CR-V and the like... Xterra is also cheaper and a real truck.. from what i am hearing the 05 X get's good MPGs (lo 20s in the city.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I concur, the very term "cuteutes" would keep me from buying one. Get an X, at least they have the soul of a pathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look great to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrano Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I cannot tell you about 05 X-Trail, never even actually seen it)) But I can tell you about 00 X-Trail. A good car, more off-road-oriented than CR-V or RAV4. These two are actually rather weak cars.... city-only, as I'd call them. If you are looking for a small SUV with decent off-road capabilities, I'd recommend X-trail or Suzuki Escudo. Wait, I guess it is called Vitara in U.S. I used to drive Escudo for two years, and I can tell it is a monster, a small one, but still a monster in its heart ))) I am not sure about 05 year models... but I guess they are not worse ))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 One thing I love about the Xtrail: HUGEASS SUNROOF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaritimeMan Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 LOL when I hear Escudo, I think of that badass car from GT 2 & 3, the pike's peak version. If you had that car you could beat the pants off of anybody, no matter how good or bad of a driver you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
