guys tanong lang ako sa inyo newbie pa lang ako dito at mejo marami na ako nabasa tungol sa x-trail, may plan kasi kami bumili ng compact suv pero hindi ko alam kung ano. pinagpipilian kasi namin kung x-trail o CRV ano ba maganda? kasi nabasa ko dito na mejo maraming problema yung x-trail ganon din kaya sa crv? sa gas naman ano ba mas tipid yung 2.4liter ng CRV o 250x na xtrail? how bout naman sa power kasi hindi ko pa natry magdrive ng A/T baka kasi hindi siya ganon kalakas tulad ng manual na pwede mo pigain yung power nya. Guys sana matulungan nyo ako kasi mejo malapit na kami bumili hindi ko pa rin alam kung ano. Valenzuela area ako san ba magandang dealership ng nissan? tnx in advance

welcome to the x-trail thread! hindi naman problematic ang xty. actually most of the owners like it. di, kaya mali ang thread na pinuntahan mo?

kasi x-trail thread ito, syempre expound namin ang magandang features ng xty. if you are ask me, get the xty 250x. di ka magsisisi. if valenzuela area ka, i would suggest you go to nissan commonwealth. meron tayong mga kilala dun. also ask for a test drive of the vehicle. about power of the xty, bro, 2.5 liter engine ito. 140 hindi hirap, top speed of 180 kph/hr because of the speed limiter. pareho tayong 1st time matic driver. hindi ako nahirapan sa pag-adjust from manual to matic. basta tandaan mo lang pag tumigil ka, lagay mo lang sa neutral ang kambyo. about fuel efficiency naman. does 10 to 12 km/li. from a 2.5 li. engine not efficient enough. you can achieve this on highway driving. for city driving, fuel efficiency for 250x is something from 5.5 to 6.5 km/li. you dont have to put premium unleaded fuel pa. you can use ordinary 93 RON unleaded fuel. laki kasi ng engine.

hope nakatulong ito sa pag-decide mo.

Hi Magilos!
Tingin ko dapat i-testdrive mo pareho. For me, after test-driving the Xtrail sold na ako, at wala akong regrets talaga. Umm... di din ako sure san mo nakita yung mga complaint threads about the xtrail, ni-research ko din ng mabuti before buying, at hirap ako makahanap ng negative comments about it. Sa canadian at australian threads, very satisfied naman halos lahat (hehe, understatement yun pero syempre gusto ko mukhang objective).
Ang tatay ko may 2.0 CRV 2003, gustong-gusto na niya magpalit to xtrail after trying it out. I'm sure naman marami nang improvement ang 2.4 na CRV (o diba fair?).
Nabasa ko somewhere na kung may balak ka magsoft-roading, hands-down panalo ang xtrail between the two. Kung never ka naman lumuluwas, puro city driving, mas "civilized" ang engine ng CRV.
Galing din akong manual (2.0 accord 1994), at di ko talaga na-miss yung power. Maganda ang low-end torque ng xtrail.
Fuel efficiency, between 6.8 - 7.9km/L ako pag pure city driving (hindi masyadong conservative ang driving style, lagi ako nagmamadali, hehe)
Ok sa Nissan Commonwealth, pwede ko i-recommend si Johnson Woo na sales agent. Maasikaso siya, hinatid pa sa bahay yung xtrail, at kung may papers for signing dinadala na din dun.
Medyo hirap ako sa shifting ng CRV, especially pag nahihirapan yung kotse sa anilao at kelangan ilagay to 2 or 1. Baka ako lang yun.
I'm sure you know the xtrail has the most powerful engine in its class.

Tnx bro tingin ko x-trail na rin bibilhin namin. diba ang 2005 na 250x ay may roof rack na may ilaw pwede bang hindi kasama yon pag binili tsaka yung mirror sa fender muka kasing hindi maganda yung mga yon. first time ko gagamit ng automatic kahit hindi na ba ako mag upgrade ng lisensya ko o kelangan pag automatic na ang drive mo iba na rin number ng lisensya mo? TIA very informative tong thread na to tnx ulit

Thanks sa reply, gusto ko na rin ng x-trail kasi pag nasa kalsada ako sobrang dami ko ng nakikitang CRV sobrang common na yung itsura. Yung x-trail naman astig yung itsura. Ang dami ko nababasa at naririnig na malakas nga makina ng x-trail kaso nga lang wala bang m/t. Ano ba mga parts na madaling masira base on your experience sa mga x-trail nyo para pag nagkaroon na kami mababantayan ko. TNX ulit

Based on my experience, wala pang nasisira (mga 3 months old palang kasi, hehe). Pero ang sa alam ko reliable naman xtrail, walang consistent na lumalabas na problems. Like any car, may isolated lemons.
Tama ka dun, dami na masyadong CRV hehe.
Di ko alam kung pwedeng i-request na tanggalin yung parang safari lights ng 250x ngayon. Ako din nung una parang di ako sure kung gusto ko itsura, pero in terms of function ang liwanag! Dapat ginagamit sa "dark provincial roads", pero pag ma-cut ako ng taxi ginagamit ko din, parang araw sa loob ng taxi, hehe. Sama ko ba?
Di nag-iiba ang license ng manual or automatic transmission.
Yung baby fender mirror di pa useful sa akin. Pero di naman ako naiilang sa itsura, hehe.

Hello magilos welcome to the xtrail thread here at tsikot, we have both the CRV and X-trail, CRV definitely burns up more gas / km - around 5-6kms/li, our X-trail does around 7-7.5km/li on the city. CRV has more legroom on the 2nd row but the X-trail has more cargo space at the boot. The center console of the X-trail is subjective to the owner -> love it or hate it me I love it :D. CRV's steering is a bit harder compared to the X-trail which can come in handy in tight traffic situations. The only drawback I see for the X-trail is the plasticky interior which scratches easily, and I have a of scratches already inside. Well you can't have it all, As far as I'm concerned the good outweighs the bad attributes. Either way both are very well built cars.

May nabasa akong isang post dito na may mga bagong available na kulay daw ang x-trail anong kulay ba maganda? San ba nakalagay yung spare tire ng xtrail? may grupo na ba kayo dito na puro naka xtrail?
