Hi All,

I was set on buying a second-hand Hilux or Fortuner but the Toyota thread gave me doubts on getting a Toyota D4D. Now I'm considering a 2nd-hand Xtrail, 2006 and up na 250X A/T. I haven't read any alarming problems from the Nissan section about the vehichle and everyone I know who owns one tells me that they are very happy with their units. From what I read, the Xtrail sounds like a better option than a CRV or RAV4.

Would you say that this is a better choice over the Toyota D4D or the CRV and RAV4? I will be using it for my daily Paranaque to New Manila commute and out of town trips during weekends - carrying cargo on the roof and the back. Gas consumption issues? What should I look for when checking a 2nd hand unit? Thanks for your answers = )
