Australian X-Trail Forum Newnes Trip (1)

nice little cars, with awesome power from there 4. but thats about it.

made bought a TI and tryed to jaz it up..again and again i pulled him out with an 88 petrol 4runner, because there 4wd system is just cruddy when there thrown off balance. and there bullshit exspensive to put lockers on.

just buy a nice old cruiser with a beatiful 12HT motor and your set. uses about 2L more in fuel that the 10/100km the exies use

NOT WORTH THE money

Why would you put a locker on an Exxie when they already have one? Agree that these are only soft-roaders, but with practice and a bit of sense you would be amazed what these Exxies can do.

I've got a 2004 ST 5-speed with 130,000ks on the clock that consistantly returns 8 - 8.5 l/100ks.

If I wanted to buy a "real" 4WD I would have done so, but could not justify having a poor handling uneconomical one as a daily driver.
