Where are all X-Gears owners, why so quiet here? I have collected my car today in Twilight Grey. It is a lovely car but I noticed 2 small scratched dots on the front grilles. Will TC replace the whole grille for me??

I bought it in Kuching. All have ex-stock and no waiting time like previous months. Go ahead to book one today. Quite happy with the car especially the ability to absorb road bumps easily.

I am very tempted to trade-in 185 to 195 tyre while maintaining the stock rim. The Nissan SA told me it would void the 3 years suspension warranty!
It will surely applies to changing the stock rim too. Guess, have to wait after 3 years unless one is willing to take the risk!



When are you taking the plunge?

So, are you going to book one soon after your test drive?

Hi guys,

This is my 1st observation for my brand new X-Gear for its FC:-

100% city drive, speed rarely go over 80km/h for 1st week.
Using RON95
Full tank RM80 to estimate empty 400km equivalent to RM0.20/km.
Consider quite high FC Thought the car is fuel efficiency? What do you think?

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

Added on May 25, 2012, 9:29 amNO, I was told the "opposite"

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.

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

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

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!

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!

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!

Nissan launched the IMPUL tuned X-Gear today! What do you think??

Wonder how much is the spoiler. The 17" rims do not look good to my eyes, will be a headache cleaning up the rims.

I will target the Impul spoiler. Anyone already installed?

X-Gear comes with Solar Guard. I upgrade it to V-Kool elite

I pay RM1.2k for whole car V-Kool installed

Outside they charge RM2.8k for whole car and think it is worth paying RM1.2k to upgrade. In other words, my freebie Solar Guard is worth RM1.6k!!!

Added on June 13, 2012, 8:58 pmNoticed any improvement in FC after the 1st service??

I'm going mine this coming Saturday.

480KM for a full tank RON95 is a mighty impressive for X-Gear!!!

My car only manages to get 420km for 100% city drive

How come my X-Gear tank is only 42 Litre? Pump full tank is roughly RM80.00

Wow, you are damn fast! Probably the 1st owner to install Impul spoiler here.

How muchy huh?


Post your car photo here

Mine just went for 1st service. Now observing the FC and will report back. However, I do not think it makes appreciable difference, maybe slightly better FC. Previously, full tank can only last 520km for 100% city drive. Certainly not very fuel efficient, just average.

Added on June 21, 2012, 2:53 pmYour view certainly echo mine...Exterior looks good but dull on the gadgets on the inside. Still think most Nissan cars are aiming for matured buyers who prefer simplistic, reliable, low maintenance in the long run.


I like what have listed in your wish list. A dream come true indeed. But even then, price of X-Gear will certainly higher.

Bro, I clock the same mileage as yours. No help........unless you drive it often on Highway


Some has advised me to pump RON97 once in a while to help clean up the accumulated carbon inside. Not sure how true is it.
