Nissan Terrano
« on: 13 September 2008, 19:57:27 »
Has anyone had a Nissan Terrano before?  I was just wondering what they are like?

If I ever get a job I was thinking about getting one for off roading.

I don't think there's a 0-60 time for good reason...they come to a grinding halt when towing as well.

Can't comment on their off-road abilities, but look at what everyone else uses..if it's not a LandRover, it's a Suzuki..

I had a Nissan Terrano II for a year when I worked in Bosnia and gave it a lot of punishment due to the roads there, it was alright but it was always in the workshop for something, it wouldn't be my first choice for an off roader.

Bit of a hobby over here...like rallying, but at slow speed, and on terrain you can't even walk through...

Try and YouTube "Land"Rover test track" - and you might get a better picture..

I agree with you Cem. It's a bit like people who own a car and for some reason go and buy a bike. Why would you do that?  ::)

No,you could get a good runner for £1000, go for a series 2 2a or 3, rough and ready but cheap to repair and great fun.......... ;D ;D ;D
