Mate, the previous X3 was made in Austria and was universally bagged for being poorly built.

Looks better than X3 from the front.

What’s with all this forester crap? Cheap interior and lackluster performance with a face only a blind mother could love…sheesh! I would be comparing it to the Volvo XC60 (which would be my pick)

1.5 tons….well then it should have to pay 1.5 times as much as I do when I use EastLink or CityLink.

I saw one the other day and let me tell you – the photos of this car are very deceiving. In person, it is TINY. I’m not exaggerating. It is miniscule (mainly in terms of height). When you first see it, you will think it’s a passenger car, not an SUV. To give you a comparison – the X1 makes a Honda CR-V appear enormous.

)LHow to Block a Nissan Intake Hose

Information from:http://www.know-car.com/index.php/how-to-block-a-nissan-intake-hose

The intake hose in your Nissan is an essential part of the engine system. The intake hose connects the intake air filter to the engine and allows cool, clean air to be sucked into the engine. You may want to block the intake hose to troubleshoot other parts of the engine when you can’t find the problem. Blocking the intake hose is generally easy as long as you have an efficient clogging item to use.

Step 1
Locate the air intake assembly on the right side of the engine bay.

Step 2
Disconnect the mass air flow sensor electrical connection by pressing in the release and pulling it out of the connector.

Step 3
Unhook the wiring harness clips from the top of the air box; they will flip up.

Step 4
Remove the three bolts that hold the engine cover on using a 5 mm Allen key. Remove the engine cover.

Step 5
Remove the air inlet assembly by unscrewing the two bolts with the screwdriver.

Step 6
Release the crank case vent hose spring clamp using the pliers.

Step 7
Expose the intake tube by disconnecting the crank case vent hose.

Step 8
Insert a cork into the intake hose. The snugger the fit, the better the intake hose will be blocked.

Step 9
Reconnect the intake hose onto the crank case vent hose and secure the spring clamp.

Step 10
Bolt on the air inlet assembly and reinstall the engine cover. Secure the wiring harness clips and reconnect the mass air flow sensor electrical connection.

I just don’t know why anybody pays thousands for a badge. If I needed a car with these kind of specs, I’d need to get my head examined if I didn’t buy a Forester.

I really like the X1.

I woult buy one to replace my 2007 Forester XT, but as stated the read seat is poorly designed, and I need two carseats!

Plus the boot is too small. The 07 Forester has a decent boot for a small car, and the new Forester boot is even bigger.

I am keen to try a new diesel X1/Forester/Outback but for the price I would be better off with a new Forester XT Premium or Outback 2D Premium for less money than this X1.

Tough call, but the boot and rear seat are a deal breaker.

I love this car. For anyone who wants an x5 but doesn’t want to part with that much money, this seems to be the perfect compromise. I’d have one!
