how good is the patriot compared to the x trail? ratings say the engine is a bit rough and the interior bland? i will try them both this weekend, there are doubts over the x trail turbos.

the buy back schemes are a bit of a con really, you pay for a vehicle for 3 years - and then IF you want it at the end - you pay a hefty wedge on top of what you have already paid..and as for guarenteed value - check what they reckon it'll be worth and then price one up..
I'd be tempted by one of the foreign brands, as they are usualy as compentant 'off' road - and because they arent seen as a 'proper' 4x4 are usually cheaper and better spec'd..The Hyundai's now have a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty so could be a god buy.

In my opinion it compares OK, a neighbour had an X trail and had no end of bother, cam chains, turbo etc, he now drives a Mini Clubman !! The interior plastics are probably not quite as good as some but they clean up OK when the dogs been in, the engine is typically VW a bit gruff but it pulls like a train with exceptional fuel economy. I have done 12k in mine since April and have had nothing go wrong at all !!!
