Internet memes. Car talk in general. They do get a general bad wrap. Probably the 4wd system. Apparently it cuts out if it gets too hot in deep sand and forces you to wait a while for it to cool. We rented one as a work vehicle years ago working in the sandy country of the Vic/SA border. It was fine. Depends how far off road you want to go? Always a counter argument on the internet. goggle "X Trail off road"
This guy is like your little brother who turns up on his K Mart BMX whilst you and your mates are on your latest greatest carbon 29er and proceeds to ride you off the trails! He is incredible and fearlessly sticks his humble X-Trail where only us "big boys" with our over modded, lifted, turboed, bar worked, big wheeled, big tyred "proper" rigs would probably get stuck! Impressive and kudos.
Nothing impressive about that terrain they X trail went through. But hey if that's all ya gonna do then why not.
