6 month oil change intervals are great and never do any harm. You will even save money because buying a car is the most expensive thing you can do and extending your upgrade cycles with more frequent oil changes is cheaper.

I bought a 2010 2.5 cvt petrol, handles like a sedan with a 4x4 function. big space, comfy ride.

Picked up a 2008 X Trail Aventura DCi (manual) about 3 months ago. So far so good! I'm 6' 3", happy with ergonomics. Dash is simply laid out and very intuitive. Steering feels sharp and responsive. Handling is good, stiff enough without feeling abrasive. No off road use yet. Fuel economy is as published and I'm satisfied with it. Reasonable power (173 BHP), more than enough. Basically, my ONLY complaint is .. auto windscreen wipers .. first time I've experienced it and I hate it .. juddering across the windscreen constantly .. just the worst invention ever!! I mostly just flick the wiper intermittently myself! I would've preferred reversing sensors, but the camera's OK, a very usable alternative! But yes, I'd definitely recommend test driving the X Trail if you're looking at this vehicle category..

I loved my X-Trail. Annoyed that I had to sell it at the time, but I'll probably get another one of these days. My old one I bought at an auction with some minor faults for about half the price of what they were selling for. Had a broken seat motor on driver's seat (used part 23€, changed it myself). There was a clunk in the rear especially when changing direction of travel. Found out someone had put in wrong brake calipers which were loose 🤯 Put correct ones in for about 150€ total. Also was getting an ABS/4wd fault every once in a while but found out that one of the brake bleed valves had a slow leak so topping up the fluid got rid of the fault and eventually changed the bleed nipple for about 1€. For MOT it needed a new control arm which was relatively easy to change. Did gearbox and rear diff oil changes and of course regular engine oil change about every 8.000km with Nissan DPF oil. I had the 2.0 dCi manual. Brilliant car when you drive quite a bit but also could use some traction from time to time. I live in Finland, in the countryside, and we get loads of snow in winter but that thing chugged along without ever having a problem. I hauled heavy loads of firewood in winter and even towed a postal van out of a ditch once. Had full leather, heated, electric seats in front, panoramic glass roof, satnav, xenon lights, reverse camera, safari lights on roof rails etc etc and I still averaged 6,7l/100km!! The 2 litre diesel actually comes in 2 different power outputs, at least in northern European market. There's the 110kW/150hp model with 320Nm of torque and a 127kW/173hp model with 360Nm. If I remember correctly, the weaker one is mated to the automatic and the more powerful one comes with the 6 speed manual. Great guide as always. Keep it up Miles! 👌

This is such an intriguing car. I've never seen them in Vienna or other places I've been but they seem like really solid SUVs.

I've never in my life seen more X-Trails than when I visited Finnmark in northern Norway. We went to Kirkenes and I swear every like 5th car that I saw was an X-Trail. This was a few years before I got mine and it really helped me win the missus over, pointing out how many people in very rough and remote areas use them 😅

My recollection is that X Trails fitted with the (Renault 2.0 dci) diesel engine had a conventional 6 speed auto. Only the petrol versions had the CVT option.

If you have buttons not working on the steering wheel that is 99% clock spring issue (almost every car with 150000+ km). 10 min DIY replacement for $50.

There isn't a CVT in the diesel, but a regular 6-speed automatic.

@rossawood5075 3 ай бұрын

The diesels torque was too big for the CVT so I believe a transmission similar to the larger Pathfnder was used, excellent in my experience.

There may be a difference in differing markets or between AWD and 2WD however Australian delivered AWD is definitely NOT a CVT but a conventional trans.
