CR-V, X-Trail or Sportage?

Stop me if you've heard this before. Definitely reconsider as the South Korean brands have made massive improvements in recent years and the Sportage tops the CR-V and X-Trail.

Used Nissan X-Trail review: 2007-2012
Towing or touring, the boxy family wagon had ample living room. New Until you got up close to the new X-Trail Nissan released in 2007 you could have been forgiven for thinking little had changed. It was the same boxy shape, but when you did get up close you discovered it was longer, wider and taller than the outgoing

Will Australia be getting a right-hand drive Murano Ti?

There is no right-hand drive Murano. It was never included in the development program, which was focused entirely on the US. So it won't be coming at any time.

Used Nissan Patrol review: 2007-2012
The wagon earnt its place as a staple for off-roaders and caravanners. New Some of today’s wagons look like four-wheel drives, some even pretend to be tough off-roaders but when it comes to the crunch few cut it in the rough going like the Nissan Patrol. The Patrol, a genuine go-anywhere four-wheel drive, made no

Nissan Patrol 2002: Should I repair it after a bad crash?

As much as you love it the reality is that it's an old car and not worth repairing. It's obviously done you proud, but it's time to move on to a newer car.

Nissan Patrol 1999: Will fitting a turbocharger help towing capacity?

You said it yourself; it's tired, so I wouldn't fit a turbocharger without rebuilding the engine. You'd be asking for trouble to do it without doing the engine.

Sedan with good storage space and suspension?

We test all cars in the real world, on the toughest corners and worst surfaces we can find, and I've been doing the job for nearly 40 years. Hyundai has focussed its suspension work on European-style handling, not a cushy American-style ride, but that's no different from many other brands. For your needs I would probably have steered you to a Nissan Pulsar, but also advised not to buy anything without a proper test drive on road you know.
