Good Points
Great power. Very roomy. Excellent use of technology ("throttle by wire"). Affordable.
Bad Points
Light switch is too easy to turn. You may end up switching off lights while using the turn signal.

Nissan X-Trail 2.5L SE 4x4 Review:
My fiancee and I looked around for a while to find a suitable SUV. We wanted style with function. Power and handling. It also needed a cargo area big enough for my 110lb rottweiller. We originally were looking at the X-Terra when we walked into the Nissan dealership. The X-Terra SC was wonderful but the mileage wasn't all that good and the premium fuel would be a killer. So we drove the X-Terra SE and it really wasn't that impressive. Then we saw the X-Trail. It was everything we wanted and needed. It has tonnes of storage space. The "Pana-Roof" is amazing. It has plenty of get up and go, I actually have a habit of chirping the tires in 2nd gear. It just has so many options it's unreal. From the way you can configure the interior to the way the drivetrain reponds to the road. I am very happy with the purchace. This SUV will soon take over Canada. WAY TO GO NISSAN!!
