Perhaps reliable in some ways, but it won't make you want to jump out of bed and look out of the window at it in the morning. It's like getting re-married in your late 40s to a woman who has had 4 kids but she's a nice girl and you think it makes sense because you're getting on a bit and want someone to just be there with you or take a walk with you to the local park with the pet dog.

If I wanted a vehicle to get me out of a situation while still being easy to maintain, it would have to be a Land Rover or a Land Cruiser. But not one of the Chelsea tractor models.
(this one is modified for TV broadcasts 6 hours per day, 7 days a week)
This is the more standard guest viewing vehicle
And this from Toyota

If it's just down to the driver, you'd think that Land Rover would employ someone to drive their vehicles properly. That way they won't rely on an enthusiatic amateur to get their vehicles away from the shows that they are doing

Back to asking the OP questions. If he's going to be driving it off road or on country lanes, he wants small wheels, big tyres (and preferably M&S or chunkier). If he never leaves a city, then he probably wants low profile summer tyres on big wheels, although if it's for the school run and you're mounting the kerb to drop chardonnay and tarquin off, then you'll damage the wheels.

I like the look of the new one, but I don't think it's got any grunt which is a shame.
Best asking on pistonheads surely

Boring is fine if it's got a bit of grunt. I always assumed the xtrsil was Nissan's equivalent of the Rav4 which has a 2.2L motor (at least, mine does). Does Nissan do a more powerful offering in this class?
