Its quite spacious in the inside a lot of legroom and big trunk. also cheaper than the Rav4 and Honda CRV. The only problem is the guzzling. Inakunyua mingi sana.

True. any auto poorly maintained will not be efficient.

There's also a GT version of the petrol X-trail (278 bhp or thereabouts) vs 155 bhp for the rest. Would consume more especially if one's foot is like lead.

@Gathinga
What about the 'offroad' performance?
Also on the selector ,whats the difference between 'auto' and 'lock'?

Much cheaper, very true, but the issue of re-sale value my friend. Just buy one now and try selling it immediately. You will get half price of the buying price

Kenyans are so obsessed with resale value, that's why we are a country of toyota this and toyota that (Quoting Claycourt). Spot on, do you buy your fridge of TV judged by the resale value?

@JkMwatha - I see your logic and there is no harm in that. I do a bit differently, I apportion my investments funds, liquid cash and future strategies to a different account; When buying a car, I consider it an expense, for my personal use and convenience and FORGET about its original (soon to deteriorate) value. Thus the only consideration then is availability and cost of parts, service, its utility and reliability. But thats me.

Let me pose this question. If you acquired a house (to live in - very key) in a nice neighbourhood, say South C, for about 14 mill, and then after some 3-4 years the value jumps to 22 mill, would you sell the house and consider the 8 mill profit, knowing you could never get a similar house in a similar location for the old price?

Very true.

Harrier/Lexus is much more superior.
