Excellent, honest vehicle, decent to drive on road and best in class off road. Better than original Freelander.
Marred by diesel engine failures, especially turbo failures on 136.

Introduction
Now and again a car surprises me. I should have had an inkling from the delivery driver who said he'd really enjoyed his job that morning. All I'd been anticipating up until then was a biggish mid-size SUV with a smallish 2.2-litre diesel engine, so I wasn't expecting it to set my pants on fire.
But the X-Trail is one of those vehicles that impresses with its basic honesty and grows on you.
For a start, it doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. Big plastic lights. Bluff front. Rubber mats. Plastic wings. Chunky 215/65 x 16 tyres. It's a solid, sensible, practical vehicle, not an in-your-face status symbol.
