Hello All.
I am in the process of purchasing a newer vehicle. After some thought and the last 2 years of floods and snow in the Lake District I've decided to go 4x4.
I'm looking to spend around 4K - 5K on a 02 - 03 diesel.
I think I've pretty much narrowed it down to either a Rav4 or an Nissan X-trail.
They both have their pro's and con's which is making the choice a little hard.

Rav4 is permanent 4x4, where X-trail can be 2 or 4 for better economy. The Rav4 is better looking IMO. X-trail has a larger cargo area. Rav4 has the Speedo in the normal place, where the X-trails is in the centre of the dashboard. Etc, etc.

I have read of various problems with both models also, flywheels, turbos, intercoolers, etc.

I'm sure, this being a Nissan forum that most if not all will come down on the side of the X-trail, but I'm happy to listen to whatever anyone kindly takes the time and effort to type.

Thanks All.
