Does it mean I can get more mileage after the 1st service?? Well, I am hoping that. I will keep observing and report back.

Anyway, it has been advertised widely that GL or Livina is fuel efficiency car. Maybe I am expecting too much from a crossover or SUV. I believe if this car FC is high, then its big brother GL MPV is even worse. Hopefully the mileage will improve after the 1st service.

technically yes..after first few services..ur engine going to break in..after that u'r goin to get the actual fc. because the first few thousands km ur engine is a bit tight and rough.
actually the fc depends on ur expectation. i like xgear but i dont expect the fc going to be as good as vios.

My GF just bought this car. So far the first full tank cost rm80. Now already half tank gone it manage to go 200km. It will be 400km for full tank i guess.

I found this car is quite good on handling too to my surprise. I' m comparing this to my Suzuki Swift handling.

One thing not good is the design of the seat which is not supporting your head very well. The good thing is this is a tall car which means going to hole on the road won't hit your car body.

Engine sound is a little loud but the response of the engine is quite good.

It's nothing wrong to say Vios FC is better than X-Gear. We don't expect a bigger crossover is more fuel economy than a saloon car, do we?

Added on May 25, 2012, 1:16 pmSeems like your gf X-Gear 1st time mileage is identical to mine. However, we need to do few more measurements to know its actual FC.

What I dislike the car is very basic interior and not attracting enough. I was told this could turn out be our advantage in longer run as simple means lower maintenance is needed. The fabric of the seats are rough to the feeling too. However, the car handling and ability to absorb bumps or road holes has surprised me the most. This in turn gives a very nice comfortable ride, just like driving a C-segment saloon car

mikapoh what you said is correct. lower maintenance is one of the reason choosing this car. not much electronic stuff to spoil means nothing to fix. 15' rims means cheaper tyre. alloy rims for spare tyre is the best.

the seats is still acceptable. considering the price this is better choice then vios. feel so much spacious in the car compare to vios.

and the car exterior look expensive

Could not agreed more with you. In fact, my initial choice is either Vios TRD or Kia Forte. However, taking into consideration this car is crossover, much more spacious, very comfortable ride than the 2s and for my small family, I decided to choose this car instead.

For youngsters, I think Vios and Forte will appeal more

hehe dont get me wrong bcause actually i also wanna know the real fc for x-gear. currently driving a 1.3 car..but feel not suitable for long distance.. still looking for a good replacement..but not in hurry..minimum in 1 year..up to 2 yrs time. the options are forte 1.6 and x-gear(80k price). not looking for 1.8 car since the roadtax is more expensive.
regarding fc, around that class, vios will give the best fc... but is it better than..urmm let say persona?

Good day.

I'm planning to visit one of the nearest showroom around my home to try out on this Nissan X-Gear ..
Does anyone here owning this car currently ? .. any positive / negative feedback ?

Thank you

For long distance, 1.8cc is more fuel economy than 1.6cc.

Forte 1.6 FC is quite high based on the findings here. They recommend 2.0 Forte!

but the roadtax diff is way too much..1.6 rm90..1.8 rm270. plus not much option for suv,crossover under 100k.

Going to get my X-Gear very soon..Cant wait to experience it,so far as i'm concern thi x-gear design very simple & fit the price arounr RM80K..What else can u ask from this type of crossover rite..Hehe..
Mind to share u guys experience here,TQ..Cheers..

Me too! next week will get ! So do u join for livina x gear fan club ? can share something tere! What color u take ? I take grey !

Congrat

I agreed although the exterior looks sporty but interior a bit dull, not much features. But, if you care about ride comfort and good engine, it won't disappoints you

My car is Twilight Grey and love the colour. I just get to know Nissan service centre is using Castrol Magnatec semi-synthetic oil. Good!

Same color v me ! But i no yet get ! how ur feel after drive a while ? Do u add spoiler behind ?

Feel? So far so good especially the suspension. Feel like driving a C-segment car very comfort with minimal body roll. For the size of the car, I think engine is very responsive.

I did not add spoiler and do not know there is one designed for it too. Anyway, the original one looks ok albeit look small. Nissan gives away Solar Guard but I have upgrade to V-kool for the whole car!

You guys get how much interest rate?
what offer did you guys get?
which insurance company u all choose?

Nissan will increase X Gear price by at least RM 2k after they sell off 150 remaining units. Maybe a FL version is on its way

I get my X gear today ...but feel that the door sound proof a bit poor ....u can hear outside sound clearly when u driving ...any1 same feel v me ??

Chris,
