Gel, just what I thought. We keep looking at the X-Trail and in fact it always looked bigger but this comparison was something else - Dave ;)

Hey guys. I was always going through this x-trail/qashqai dilema. While the bigger space sounds quite atractive and the 7 seats and bigger boot sounds even better with the 2.0 new engine, there was a little fact that really put me away from the X-trail. The so called cinema backseat configuration, ca. 15cm higher than the front seats, makes passengers sick after 5mins, due to the excesive body roll perceived. No matter how slow and calculated I turned, my wife and son were almost throwing up while seated on the back. I had to try it myself and it was really uncomfortable. That sent us inmediately into Qashqai territory. Totally different story traveling while seated on the back seat. We haven't regret a single dime spent in the car during this two years.
