Yes, and you guys got the latest design in Canada LOLbcuzau said:Most cars are redesigned/updated every 4-5 years on average.. So since the X-trail has been available else where since 2000, is it due for some changes?
It would be fun to bolt on and roll your own power, however warranty is a big factor for us. My wife wanted something that would offer carefree driving for a few years. Now if I went and ruined that with a whole bunch of warranty voiding stuff that only I could fix.....ValBoo said:c'mon you guys; you can make a GT version out of our present X-trail now, all that's needed is a few bolt on mods![]()
Canada has had the XTerra for a few years before the X-Trail was introduced last year. The XTerra looks like it's marketed to an active youth segment, and the X-Trail as more of a family vehicle. When I was checking out the X-Trail at the dealer, it seemed like the Pathfinder has evolved in a softer direction which would cover off the niche that a larger X-Trail might fit, and the pick-up trucks are being touted as the new off-road vehicles.manuelga said:USA guys got the XTerra, focused on that Market.
I can't say I have really notice much Torque steer in our X-Trail, certainly not like in our Honda AccordAlexP said:If only they could squeeze that VQ40DE engine into the X-Trail (and get rid of some of that torque steer)...
I suspect that if we were Pontiac owners rather than Nissan owners, we might be of the opinion that the 2005 Xterra is less attractive than the Aztec.ViperZ said:Before the X-Trail, we were considering an XTerra, however the body styling is just a bit too heavy (fender arches) on the new version, and my wife did not want to tool around something that big.

Warranty wise, everything I have on my truck was either installed at the dealer, or has a carb exempt number on it. The only thing that will void my warranty is the JWT balance shaft remover kit. So far my truck has had 16k trouble free miles in the engine and transmission *knocks on wood*.ViperZ said:It would be fun to bolt on and roll your own power, however warranty is a big factor for us.

Ahh, but I bet once you started bolting on an intercooler and Turbo to replicate a GT, the factory would baulk should a warranty claim be requiredTerranismo said:Warranty wise, everything I have on my truck was either installed at the dealer, or has a carb exempt number on it.
