Just curious, but how much $$$ are they asking for the x-trail? My lease is almost up, and I'm wondering if a $16k buy out is worth it for an '05 with 90,000 km on it.
I've had three problems with my x-trail.
- rust on the driver side rear fender. (warranty repair)
- window regulator died on rear driver side window. (warranty repair)
- broken driver side power door lock switch. (warranty repair)
I've also heard some people mention a problem with the intake butterfly valve where a screw comes loose and is sucked into the engine, but I'm not sure if this has happened with the canadian model.
My own impressions have been very good. It seems to be a well built and very useful vehicle and it's not too bad on gas either. In the summer I average about 525 km to a tank of gas (55L). In the winter this drops dramatically with the cold weather, the winter tires (more road friction), and running in 4WD most of the time. I average about 420km per tank of gas in the winter.
Two items that are somewhat lacking in the x-trail are the heating and air conditioning. I find both the heater and air conditioner weak. On the very very cold winter mornings my heater will NOT keep the frost off my windshield when driving. And on the hot humid days the air conditioner is also weak.
