Nissan Patrol?????

If you want a surprisingly good test drive go look at a Nissan X Trail. A very capable and capacious soft roader that won't break the bank, will keep you comfortable and that will do about 40mpg.

Can I ask what year and engine size X-Trail you are referring to above? I've been considering these as a possibility, and would appreciate the opinions of someone who's driven one (or more).

I know they're not a "proper" 4x4, but they seem to tick a number of boxes I need, especially mpg.

Thanks, and apologies for the thread hi-jack
 
I have the newest 1.9 diesel manual. My average fuel consumption, right now as I sit in it is 42.4 MPG.

As for proper 4x4 it does every thing I have asked of it getting through floods, towing horse boxes with stuck brakes out of muddy fields, taking hay to my flock, taking a double bed mattress to the dump, 3 kids in the back seats not fighting for lack of space. It will also take the wife in comfort to a nice restaurant for valentines dinner which I wouldn't have done in my Defender.

I will have done 250 miles in it today in complete comfort on maybe half a tank.

Obviously tyres limit off road performance on any car you want to use on road with decent economy.

Really pleased with it.

No because of the miles I do a petrol isn't cost effective.

I know only the Diesel with manual I chose delivers the performance I wanted. Even the automatic version lacked a good many horses.
