1993 Nissan Terrano II SLX 3 door 2.7 turbo diesel from UK and Ireland
Faults:
Not much really. Tail light bulb at 1k, 15k and 20k miles.
Thermostat at 5k miles.
Front brake pads at 18K and 4 new tyres at 22k (Bridgestone Dueller 610).
Sold car at 31k, 5 years old.
General Comments:
Great car. Good ride quality for a 4x4. Build quality good and reliability excellent. Dealer service Okay but did not inspire much confidence. 3 year warranty good.
Only down side was fuel consumption, 26 mpg not very good for a turbo diesel. Tyre wear not good either although possibly not bad for a 4x4.
Interior stood up well to everyday use including camping holiday's. Towed a small trailer full of camping gear as though it was not there.
Only reason for selling was increase in family size and 3 doors not practical.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have owned a Terrano for 12 months and have had no mechanical problems. Build quality is good but the ride on rough outback roads is less than acceptable. I am looking for suitable enhancements to lift the ride height and improve the ride. Offroad performance is however very good with the turbo diesel engine. Fuel economy is disappointing for a diesel. Overall I am quite happy.
