Nissan Terrano 2.7 TD SGX 5d (1996/N) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Much chearer than Discovery, but with better engine and does the same job. If image is important though this is not the one for you.
Costs
Abysmal fuel conumption (never realistically achieves more than 22mpg - diesel). Simple parts very expensive, ie standard switch £20.
-
On the road
Driving
Does the job, comfortable and quiet. Rear seats (6&7) poor and tend to induce travel sickness
Performance
Painfully slow, a Transit is much quicker off the mark & top speed. One tends to settle in to driving everywhere at 55mph. Handling ponderous even for a 4x4. You don't expect sporty handling but press.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No major problems, window lifts often break (Usually when raining!) as the slider mechanism is just cheap plastic. When it breaks the window falls into the door.
Image
School bus/middle aged caravanner.
Comfort
Good except for rear seats which are a definate afterthought rather than designed-in. They also make the split in the second row of seats pointless as this third row is fixed!
-
Security and Service
Security
I locked my keys in and got into it in 30 mins, I've never broken into a car before! No experience with the column locks.
Service
They will do the basics, but nothing special. If parts are on a long waiting list and vehicle is off the road they neither help nor care.
