Good Points
Love the huge sunroof
Flexibility of cargo space is great - only one in class with fold flat seats and pass through - great for skiing
Very comfortable for 4 adults
Bad Points
Lacks passing power when loaded up at highway speed. It gets there - just takes a while.
General Comments
Nissan X-Trail, a great product for the price. It is very comfortable, fun to drive, looks kinda cool, and the plastic/rubber cargo area is really great for tossing wet (ski gear), dirty (gardening supplies), or bulky (luggage) items.
Also one of the few in the class that offers a 6 disc changer without leather (SE model a good package).
I compared CRV (too small - I don't fit in it {I'm 6'2"}), Hyundai Tucson(not bad but lacking some features - multi disc player), Tribute/Explorer (left me cold inside and out), Saturn (seemed cheap inside), Torrent/Equinox (nice products but I preferred the X-Trail styling).
