    Certain Northern European countries have a legal requirement that you drive with your headlights on all the long winter regardless of time of day.

    So it's easier if you buy a car with this feature already.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    Good hope all is going well I was tempted by an x-trail but I saw some storys on the turbos (well intercoolers) not sure if they were true so scared me off a bit.
    But apart from that I know nissan have got a good record for reliability.

    Never owned one but you never know I have plenty of car buying years in me yet.

    Yeah there is a problem with the 53 - on xtrail 2.2dci, do intercoolers for fun. In fact Nissan have now warranted this for 5 years from new. Nissan was built on reliability i guess but there is much more to the range than just this.

    I've been doing up our old Ford Laser while looking for work. It was in a pretty sorry state.
