For sure, the thing in the vent is not a paper. I believe it is a plastic.

Love the X-Trail, the steering seems to be good on our vehicle compared to the one we test drove which seemed a little light, could be the Dunlop tires on our vehicle which had a May 2004 production date when I checked the side door sill.

Love the huge sunroof. Only negative with the large sunroof, is the wind noise when the sunroof is fully opened. Even with the sunroof deflector in place, we have some wind noise coming in that can be a little distracting.

As for the paper in the vent in front of the driver's steering wheel. When I questioned our salesman, he said that it was an excellent observation and he even noticed it. He said that this is normal as he showed me other X-Trail that they had and they all had it. In fact when my salesman saw it on other delivery, he even got a pair of tweezers and tried to pull it out, but it was in there tightly. His thinking is that the paper is to deflect the air to the side cup holders on the dash to keep the drinks cool/hot and this is Nissan's intent with the design. Makes sense to me now as I can't imagine Nissan leaving a piece of paper in our dash vents.

As for the sulphur smell, we have 60 km on ours and after parking it, we have noticed the smell too. I'm sure this will go away in time.

Also when arming the car, our horns doesn't beep. When I took delivery of the vehicle, my salesman tried also and couldn't make it work. Oh well no concern to me as I prefer not having the beep anyways.
