Your next car will be a...

[Calibrated]

Drove an H3. and as big and attention seeking as they are... they are horrible to drive.

Looked at the pathfinder, love the front, interior is reasonable, but the back just looks awkward.

while i was looking at the pathfinder, i had a look at the new X-Trail. and i have to say, i was rather impressed.

this was last saturday.. i specifically wanted to test a 6-spd manual diesel, which they didnt have available, but on friday they called me to say one was available to drive.

clutch is rather springy, and takes some getting used to, but other than that, drove very nicely, seats are soooo comfy (leather) i'd put them up there with my audi's seats. if i order one it will be a MY10 delivery, which includes a reverse camera and satnav that you dont get on the '09's.

starting price was $42,990, plus on roads, etc. with all the options i put on totalled 52k drive away. then with some haggling, got it down to 45k drive away, and i can probably still squeeze them a bit when i make a final offer.

good deal?

oh, and it uses a renault sourced common rail 2.0 turbo diesel, so some greenbox loving can help its power figures
