Do you hear this with the aircon on or off? Sa akin kasi may naririnig ako pag naka on ang aircon and pumepreno ako. Had it checked nund 1K pms sbi ng advisor most likely daw sa blower ng aircon? Am going to have this fixed one of these days.

Yup I can hear the sound even when the aircon is turned off mas ma notice nyo ang sound pag brake or idling. So its not the blower for sure. Sound can be heard inside the cabin and outside the car around the engine compartment. Im guessing its the alternator but nissan is claiming its normal

Yung sa akin wala naman, what kind of hissing sound? high pitched? san mo naririnig pag nasa loob ka ng car o sa labas?

Zeagle ganda ng review mo, I really liked it, it answered a lot of my questions kasi I am planning to buy a mini-SUV and Xtrail along with the escape are on the top of my list. Zeagle I know its a little far fetched but will you be able to compare these 2 SUVs? Compare the escape 3.0 vs. xtrail 250x? Which is better? Ano ang mas walng sakit ng ulo? Thanks....good review talaga....

Salamat bro!

Bro I also considered the Escape and this is how I ended up getting the Xtrail.

1. In the looks department, it all depends on your taste. Do you want the traditional or the innovative.

a. The escape looks more solid, bigger and macho. The fenders have plastic mouldings/flares. The xtrail is bare except for the plastic front fenders.

b. Interior of the escape is very traditional typical american though the finish looks solid. Walang dating para sa akin. You either love or hate the xtrail's interior. Plastiky as in puro plastic talaga and the weird center instrument cluster. Para sa akin it looks cool! The xtrail's interior have a lot of innovative features like the driver compartment, cup holder, drink cooler, washable trunk, etc. Para sa akin, you are buying an SUV that you would like to trash around. Maputikan, matapunan ng gatas ng bata at matanda, etc. ok lang. Just wipe it out tapos. Even though the escape looks bigger, parang roomier ang xtrail.

c. Finally, the leather seats. Compare mo yung dalawa and definitely mas dumihin ang leather ng escape.

2. Engine: Comparing the V6 (204 bhp) and the 2.5l (180 bhp). This is just my hunch that the power to weight ratio favors the xtrail. The xtrail's body is super light. Fuel consumption also favors the xtrail. Maintenance favors the xtrail. So value for bhp, the xtrail is a definite winner. I compared the typical PMS of Ford and Nissan. Cheaper ang Nissan by at least 20%. E sa spark plug lang +2 palagi ang Escape. After the warranty period, its a lot easier to DIY xtrails engine than Ford. Changing the fan belt alone halos impossible na to change (exaggerated). BTW, my friend had his Escape dyno tested. 130 hp ang output from the wheels. Ang laki ng loss.

3. Quality: These companies are ISO/QS 9000 blah blah. Quality is almost the same. When I say almost the same, I mean one cannot brag that they are far superior than the other. Your chances of getting a lemon are the same. Lahat ng manufacturers produce a lemon. No exception! Malas malas lang talaga.

In the end, it is really a matter of preference. Kung saan ka mag-enjoy mag drive duon ka. Sa Escape nga lang, ready ka sa operating expense.

Zeagle thanks sa reply mo, again very informative and helpful....last nalang may nagsabi sa akin na pagpuno daw yung xtrail bumababa yung rear end niya because of the weight and malambot kasi yung shocks, so ang effect is naka-angat ang nguso, is this true? Pangit daw tingnan? or baka lang pag sobrang bigat talaga ng dala mo? Thanks again bro!

Actually, I noticed this a while ago. We (1 driver + 2 passengers at the back) were driving near some establishments with tinted one-way glass facades, and I tend to look at the side profile of our xtrail reflected on those glass. Yes, the rear half is slightly lowered compared to the front. Di naman grabe, but I noticed it. I thought that it was me who is getting too heavy.

Malambot nga shocks ng xtrail. Possible yan. Pag-humps nga nararamdaman ko minsan na parang tumutukod. Ano ba ang dapat gawin? Oldman Emu na shocks?

I don't think it would be advisable to install strut bars especially on normal driving conditions but thats just me . Am also planning to get Iridiums, would a Denso be a better choice than NGK?

c. Finally, the leather seats. Compare mo yung dalawa and definitely mas dumuhin ang leather ng escape.

Leather seats for the escape is color beige (tama ba? light colored) while the X-trail has the black leather seats.

Not only the color pare. Its the material. Synthetic leather yata and Escape.
