Nissan Terrano

Nissan Terrano II 2.7 TDI

Advantages: Spacious,easy to drive
Disadvantages: heavy on diesel for smaller journeys

We've had this car now for 2 years and it's a little gem.Bought it because we were having our fourth child and didn't fancy the other 7 seaters that were on the market at the time.All in all it's a comfortable and affordable vehicle. There are electric windows back and front but they have locks so it stops the children opening and closing at their pleasure!!The extra seats in the back back as we like to call it are great and big enough for an adult ...
...fitted 3 children in the back and crossed seatbelts over so they are safe...won't be able to when the new law comes into effect I know!But just to give an idea of how spacious it actually is. It's not as smooth as a car,which you would expect but you quickly forget and get used to it,ours is diesel so the petrol may be alot smoother. The thing we found very handy is that the back seats all fold down completely flat for transporting large items..we've ...

Terranosaurus

Advantages: Power and torque
Disadvantages: Styling, handling and diesel rattle

...a detailed critique on the Nissan Terrano. The title of this review is a "hilarious" pun designed to focus on the fact that this car is quite monstrous, but in many ways a dinosaur too. My driving experience comes from the many times I have used my uncles Terrano on the rugged roads of North Donegal. I admit that it is the only off-roader I have ever driven so you will not get any comparisons with RAV4’s or Freelanders here. The first thing ...
...height of anti-coolness, the traditional Nissan grille and badge, it’s like a big fat momma. Inside things don’t improve too much either. I’ve never known a Nissan to have a stylish interior and the cheap looking light grey plastics in this machine do nothing for the front dash. The plastics are at least hard wearing and the build is good. It would need to be, because the rattles in a car like this would drive you mad. In a car ...

Review of Nissan Terrano II Fun 2.7 TD

Why I will never drive a coupe again.

Advantages: Big Mean and Very Very Cool.
Disadvantages: Other cars get in the way!

...saw the light.... The Nissan Patrol provides all the functionality of a true off-road vehicle (unlike the likes of BMW and Mercedes) whilst retaining comfort, control and all the facilities you expect in your usual Ford or Vauxhall. The model I drove (Nissan Patrol GX 3.0 Diesel) would cruise happily at 100MPH and still have the handling you would expect in a normal coupe. At normal speeds, this engine provides about 25MPG. As standard, this model ...

Review of Nissan Patrol

Good 4x4

Advantages: Very spacious, nice ride height, nice interior
Disadvantages: Very thirsty on short runabout journeys; ours has no air conditioning

We have had this car for 18 months now, and overall are very pleased with it. I only wish we had air conditioning in ours! The interior is nice and plush, lots of toys, electric windows, sunroof etc. The rear seats recline if you don't have the extra two seats in the back. This is nice for very long journeys. Seven seats certainly comes in handy when you have kids and various friends to take out, although you have to pull half of the rear seat forward ...
...have preferred two single seats at the very back that were facing sideways. Although my youngest son likes it the way it is (bench seat) because he can lay down. Did well on fuel during recent trip to Disneyland, Paris. There and back on a tank and a half of diesel! Short runs are not so good though, only about 25 MPG. The ride height is nice, being "above" all the other cars is great. Tends to be a bit sluggish in first gear, but fine when warm. ...

Nissan Terrano II 2.7TD

Advantages: Superb Tow Vehicle
Disadvantages: None

...the caravan. Towing with the Nissan is tremendous. I've had the car for 2yrs now and have covered over 20,000 miles and have not had a single problem. The servicing costs are suprisingly low as well for a 4x4. I rarley drive the car off road, but one two occasions the Terranos ability in wet conditions was very helpful. We were camping in Holland last year in Easter and it had being snowing for 4 days!!. With the campsite looking like a paddy field ...
...tow any of the caravans out of the site, and this included many other 4x4. The Terrano is vey spacious and comfortable. One of the great advantages is the driving position. You feel a lot safer on the road. I will be changing the Terrano shortly and will most definatly be buying another Terrano. ...
