X-Trail or Santa Fe?
I have up to about £6k to spend and I have narrowed my choice down to the newer 06 2.2 Crd Santa Fe and a cheaper 04-05 Xtrail 2.2 Dci
I like the look of both, I prefer the seven seater option of the Santa Fe but have heard more good things about the X-Trail. Boots are roughly same size, MPG not a lot different.
I will be buying probably at least an 80k miler which ever one I choose at that price but that doesnt bother me
Obvious advantage of a 100k XTrail is that I could get one for around £4500 so money in the bank
Any expert advice or experience would be great as I need to buy very soon.

The 06 Santa Fe is a dog to drive on the road because it doesn't handle brilliantly and there is a huge gape between 2nd gear and third. Comes into its own with an autobox driving off road, though. The X-Trail is far better to drive on the road.
