I'd have a Terrano in a second if I could convince my OH to try one. I'd like the top of the range Automatic 3 litre version but she won't have anythnig to do with it. I was thinking about a Hyundai Terracan as an alternative, we called in a local used car sales place to look at a Terrano the other weekend, the Terrano was sold but she wouldn't even look in the Terracan.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree & hope we don't have too much bad weather this winter. A cheap 4x4 is a handy thing to have around these days.
hi basilbrush, when we bought our terrano i told my wife to test drive it, she loved it ,it,s so easy to drive, beeing so high up visability is brill,she even tows the van,if you can talk your mr,s into a test drive she mind change her mind.
------------- its easy enough to be pleasant when the world rolls along like a song.but a man is worth while if he can smile when every thing goes f------ wrong.
We are on to our third terrano, hubby drives it through the week but if we are
going anywhere on a weekend I drive it, like lion said the visibility is great and I always feel quite safe, and for a tow car you don't know you are towing
I've had a Terrano 2.7 from new and I can't wait to get rid! I've has all sorts of problems with it. The clutch and dual mass fly wheel went at 24,000 miles and 30.000 miles later the gear box went along with another clutch! With all the other faults it's cost me a fortune (I joke to mates that I've replaced everything apart from the rear view mirror and one of the back wheel nuts!). I'm saving up and expect that next year I'll trade it in for a Sorento or a Hyundai Santa Fe. I think I've been pretty unlucky with the Terrano but have religeously had the oil / filter changed every 6 months and kept on top of the maintenance. I also don't razz it about and don't usually go over 60 mph on the motorway (think I must have bought a Friday afternoon built one!!!).
my mates got a 2000 w its starting to get the tin worm failed last mot on front crossmember and sills and the rear seat belt kidnapped one of his kids it would not come undone to had to cut her out of it and three air flow meters two part exhaust not bad for six years of ownership and does not look after it I think is being washed six times in that
