Having lived in Japan for half my life I would tend to agree with Fireblade. I don't think the X is too wide. My last visit a few years ago my uncle had just purchase a new Nissan luxury sedan. That darn thing was huge it, tank like, it had all the bells and whistles Navi with a built in TV turner and dvd player. Anyway, if you can drive the streets in Japan and live you can drive anywhere in the world.
