I have owned many 4x4s and the terrano II is by far the best in terms of reliability and solid build. I've done over 50k miles since owning and she now has over 150k on the clock, I have no hesitation to go any distance in any terrain. Some of the situations I've experienced on road and off road would have resulted in write off of a much weaker 4x4. Not the most comfortable and Agricultural like. 3.0 engine delivers enormous torque and power with decent fuel economy for what it is. burns no oil whatsoever between oil changes. Only had simple little problems such as abs rings and a sensor. Chassis are starting to rot due to age but a good welder and underseal take care of that. I will be keeping mine until she gives up completely (Hopefully a good few years yet

Never wanted a 4x4 always had motorhomes when we decided to change to a twin wheel caravan I had a short wheelbase shogan when we did our first trip I thought I had made the biggest mistake ever we were shook about like a baby. Then came the terrano what a differance would I want a camper again after 20 years of them no I can tow a bailey Louisiana and you can forget its behind you. You can't please everbody but the terrano have pleased me will definately buy another

An excellent comfortable load and people carrier that copes with virtually any conditions. Reasonably economical if driven sensibly and has proved very reliable. It's not a racing car but cruises well on the motorway and has useful acceleration when needed although it is not fast off the mark. Also has the great advantage of not being too wide to go into a garage.

My car choice is limited by a need to pull a 5 berth caravan. Towing with a light can be frightening in gusty winds. I often use 4 wheel drive to pull off campsites. My house is a reasonable large 4 bed detached, however, the garage is not too wide hence I choose a car which will go into my garage. I do not like scraping snow and ice of the screen.

If you enjoy an unrefined, Tractor Type 4x4, that yet has all mod cons, then this Workhorse is worth a punt! Do check history and the vehicle itself over very well, as thewre are many Overused and Abused used ones out there. Shame is that Nissan have no real decent successor for this one!

The Terrano is a great 4 x 4 ideal for towing and swallows huge amounts of luggage. I use it to tow a very large horse trailer and load the back with saddles and gear and it copes admirably. The engine is quiet and powerful enough at low revs to cope with anything I have thrown at it. It doubles up as a commuter vehicle during the week and returns reasonable fuel consumption. Overall I am very pleased with this vehicle.

The Nissan Terrano is not stylish but is an extremely practical vehicle which is also very comfortable. It's not a racer but the performance is adequate for anyone who wants to drive reasonably. It's good off road with excellent ground clearance and it's a very good load carrier. It also has the advantage that it's not a wide as many 4x4s so fits into a rather narrow garage. I've had mine (bought secondhand) for nearly 2 years and it has been totally reliable. It's now 11 years old and the only reason that I would change it would be if I could get a much newer one at a reasonable price. It is not the most economical car in the world but driven reasonably it's not too bad. On a run I can get up to 35mpg.

A great on road 4 x 4. All round visibility, apart from the window struts where you have to look either side. Seats 7 adults comfortably and with comfort, although the back two seats fold down for boot space so can only carry 5 with luggage or use a trailer. Easy to engage/disengage 4 wheel drive, reliable engine, but need to make sure the battery is big enough for the engine size. Reliable in the main but difficult to start in very cold weather and performs well in rain, snow and ice. Very few breakdowns over it's long life. Reasonable running costs for a large 4 x 4.
