Watch Before Buying A Nissan X Trail! 

yeah, I saw some pictures of it. Not quite sure I am liking the front of the car but the back looks ok if you ask me.

@@gerardsargentini269 So you buy a vehicle just on its looks...eh?

Hi, the 2008 model was the reason I bought mine. Had it for a loaner when my car was in repairs. It was snowing for several days in a row. I took the car up in the mountains without any problems, so after that experience I decided to buy one😁

That’s good , Time for new one.

Hi tofty, great to hear. The t31 made me buy mine. What I've heard is that when you buy a t32, the automatic gearbox isn't that great. Mine was a manual and never had problems with it. Good luck finding one

personally those were the best x trails I don't like that nissan did away with the look and offroad capabilities the t30 and t31 is the best looking x trails and even more practical x trail

Hi Brain, thank you for the information. You can even turn off the screen by holding the night button, then the time will appear on it. I sold the car last year. Drove it for 2 years with pleasure.

Vin Diesel can do anything hahah

Hi, I had a 05 for a loaner at one point in wintertime with a lot of snow. That was the reason I bought one😀. I really enjoyed the car, sold it though.

@@gerardsargentini269 I've never had the chance to go 4 wheel drive in the snow one day maybe.

Hi Samual, thank you for replying and watching the video, I hope you like it. Maybe my shifting is so perfect it looks like a automatic😜. The funny thing is, I bought the car in Switzerland and they only sell it in 4wd. Recently I moved to the Netherlands took the car with me and imported it. After some research it seemed quit special because in the Netherlands they only sell the nissan in front wheel drive. So all countries the cars got different options. .

I have a 1.6L manual.. My previous cars also manuals.. the Xtrail is not so smooth when changing gears..

Really, didn't know that. Never came that close😂😉. But the beeps tho, never ending story.

Hi Kele, couldn't agree more to what you are saying. The xtrail isn't in the league of a subaru or land cruiser. It is a nice cvt, but that's all it is. For rough terrain you need something else. It brought me everywhere I needed to go though. Thank you for the explanation😁

Hi Hatim, I assume they improved the new model😁. I didn't bother the sound though. I hope you are as satisfied with the car as I was. Greetings

I am thinking of buying 2018 x trail. Does it have any problems? Please tell me

Your welcome. Hope the video was resourceful.

Hi Zlatko, Thank you for your comment. Overall it was a pleasant car to drive. As the video shows, i had a 1.6dci 4x4 130hp tekna. So i can only tell you about this particular car, i dont know how reliable the petrol engines are, if i am not mistaken all the engines are renault engines. The petrol engines aren't that reliable, the dieselengines were good, no problems with them.The car didn't show any rust , the car was 4/5 years old. When i bought the car had 45k km on the odo and i sold the car after 2 years with 82k kms on the odo. In that period only 1 malfunction accured due a powercut on the battery, battery was pretty new but had a power cut, after that sometimes the pdc and cruise controll didnt work. Not all the time tho, after a reset at a garage it never came back. Mine was a manual gearbox, thats the one to have, the cvt gearboxes are shit and will brake down, reparing them costs a pretty penny. For the rest the tekna edition is the one to have because of all the standard options it got, led lights, electric leather seats and 19" rims and much more. It is a pretty big car but the overview is excellent, little dead angles and it drives like a you are driving a smaller car. I really enjoyed this car, still miss it sometimes So my advise if you are in the market to buy one: buy a manual and make sure it's a tekna edition. Most bang for your buck.

@@gerardsargentini269 Thank you, i will definitely look for a manual gearbox.

You are welcome. If you buy one, i know you will enjoy it

Hi, thank you

Hi Haks 123, Spot on. The 6,7 seats in the back are pretty useless. I didn't buy it for that, i bought it because it was a tekna and the cheapest online at that time. Its not an audi or subaru but i must say the 4x4 took me everywhere without any problems. No rough terrain tho. All cars have ups and downs but i really liked the car too.

Hi, I heard about the problems with the vct transmission. That's why I bought mine with the manual gearbox, no problems at all😉

So true hahah

Hi, thank you for commenting. My opinion about the suspension is the completely different, a bit hard. The stereo is pretty good with the system in the tekna version, it isn't bóse or b&o quality. Overall I am satisfied about the car. About the maintenence, I never go to a dealership as I always get the feeling I am getting screwed🤣. I take my car to a smaller garage where costumerservice is still a thing. Love the space inside as wel, recently I put a bike in the back of it without any problems. Kind regards

Hi. In Switzerland wintertires are sort of obliged. If you are involved in a accident in the winter (oktober-March) without wintertires on your car, you automatticly will get the blaim and claim for the accident. So everyone will drive with wintertires there. The farmers who life high in the mountains drive with spiketires

Hi Alessandro, that is a great deal you made there. I had the full optional aswell, you are totally right about that, the stock version looked completely differtent and less attactive. Due my ownership i didn't had any problems with mine other than normal maintenence. I heared the cvt gearboxes can show early problems, so hopelfully yours is a manual or doenst brake down. I hope you will enjoy the car as much i did, i sold it after 2 years because i moved from Switzerland back to the Netherlands. The roadtaxes in the Netherlands on a diesel are in another ballpark, i went from 350chf a year to 460 euro's every 3 months.... That was the only reason i sold it, still miss it sometimes

@@gerardsargentini269 i always buy fulloptionals vehicle, minus automatic gear...the problem with this are really expensive, i made the same choice for my wife's Vitara one year ago and she's really happy. 26k euros, 20km (in italy sold as "New-Km0")

You have made some great deals on the cars. Mine had round foglights on the front, i upgraded them for led foglights. That looked so much better. Bought them on ali-expres. I think you have the newer model, they got the squar foglights on the front right?

@@gerardsargentini269 i've got T32, the 2018 Restyling

Than you got the update foglights. Mine was one of the last before the update

Hi kenzie, thats great. I hope you will enjoy it as much i did.

@@gerardsargentini269 it’s really cool it’s an upgrade version

Hi, that sound promising. I had a 2017 1.6 DIesel. Wasn't a beast but did the job😉

@@gerardsargentini269 mine is 2.5 petrol, with sport mode i beat cx5, mazda 3 and i got it stock

Hi, on the odometer there is an option to see wich seatbelt is in use with dots. To my knowledge there is only an alarm for the front row. So no anoying red Light or beeps for the backseats. But That was the Europeanen model.

@@gerardsargentini269 Wow Thank you, I am looking to import a Japanese model, but there is no warning for when the back seat belts are not attached. I guess it depends on the market. Is it mandatory in Europe that there has to be a warning for the back seat belts?

Hi, i guess so. I haf a swiss model. There was a picture of a the car on the odometer and it would show with black en red dots if it was in use. No beeps from the backseat tho if somebody sitting there without using the seatbelt.

Hi Sachin, Thank you for your comment. Well the rumors are correct, I have heard them to. The automatic gearbox has some problems that could lead to expensive repairs, mine was a manual gearbox (stickshift) and I had no problems at all. So if you buy, buy a manual. I don't know if they fixed it in the update version late 2017. But the 2014-2017 version of the t32 had some problems.

Thought the 2022 model is called rogue here as well. Before just x-trail..

There is a reason why you don't see mercs in the Swiss alps. Not everyone can afford a G-class.

Merc the best

Hi, thank you for the comment. Doubt that Vin Diesel drives a nissan though😉😂

I think the same, enjoyed driving it.

True that

Hi daniel, thank you for the comment. It was my personal opinion on the car.

Hi. Heavy doors are fine to me, they protect you from side impacts.. I did some research and that's why I bought a manual instead of a automatic.. I didn't bought a subaru because I needed a diesel, the subaru diesels are shit, lots of problems. And way expensive than the nissan. It did everything what it supposed to do in Switzerland.

Yes I think it is the same model, the update came somewhere in 2017. Overall I think it is a decent car, had no problems with it. Going to sell it tho.

Hi, The tekna is the best version you can buy if you ask me. Full options and LED lights everywhere, I changed the fog lights tho. Were the only ones not Led. How is it handling in the Austrian alps? I must honestly say the car surprised me in the Swiss alps. Drove icy and snowy roads without any problems. 30/50 cm snow, no problems at all. Overall for the money it is a good car. I got some other clips on here which show the car in the snow as well. I hope you will enjoy the car like I do. Kind regards

Nice, thank you. I think there is no big difference to Switzerland. How much km are now on your car, in terms of maintrance?

Hi, at this moment 80k, bought it with 49k. Did 1 service so far. Oil and filters. No big thing. No issues at al with the car.

Hi, so far i drove 30000km with this car and had no issues at all. maintenance just the regular, oil change and filters. the car still surprises me how good it handles and drives, on icy/snow roads in the mountains. Kind Regards.

@@gerardsargentini269 can you recomend this car to someone in Africa environment ?

Hi, I recently sold it to someone who is taking it to Northern Africa. So yes I can recommend it for someone in Africa. Don't buy an automatic though, that gearbox got problems. Mine was a manual.

@@gerardsargentini269 Thank you bro.

Whatever fits, an old ford won't bring me up a snowy mountain😉

Hi, sorry to hear that. I didn't had any problems with mine to be honest, it did what it supposed to do.

Year of yours?

Prima auto toch. Ik raad de 1.6 dci af haha. Zou voor een iets grotere motor gaan😉
