Test drive Nissan Terrano II 5 doors 1996 - 2000 SUV
... 16000 km
Nissan Terrano II The Nissan Terrano test came out surprisingly completed. We received this car in the spring, in May, and give it in the deeper autumn. You can already bring blitz-ithogs of how Terrano behaves real calendar winter. Moreover, the conditions were almost laboratory - night frosts up to -23 C and snow drifts on city roads
(+) The ability to connect all -wheel drive and fearlessly move under heavy snowfall along snow -ice. Everyone goes sideways, and you are straight!
(+) Heating of the seats in our specific machine. When a mercury falls for a mark of minus 10, it is simply impossible to sit on a dermatin seat for the first few minutes in the morning.
(-) an attempt to be in Terrano for a long time with a stove working in full force causes only a headache. In the full sense of the word. The faint of heart even touched to faint. When closed windows, it seems that it pulls burning from the motor compartment. We have to open ventilation grilles on the central console that supply cold air into the salon, which significantly improves ventilation. By the way, there are no complaints about the stove itself.
And as a New Year's surprise, the autopilot editors revealing a terrible truth to the readers: we received a not quite new car for a test, but with a mileage of a little more than 1000 km. After it has undergone serious processing on the corporate service. In short, the story is as follows.
The car that took place in Finland was a pre -sale processing was safely sent to the buyer. And in the first thousand problems began. Firstly, the gathering-disassemble was not categorically regulated. Secondly, the rear brakes were closed. Thirdly, oil leaked from somewhere below. The long -suffering Nissan was returned to the salon when the oil flowed out completely on one of the traffic lights. At the same time, the patience of the first owner burst, and he categorically abandoned the free warranty repair at the expense of the company. And, as our entire test proved, in vain.
The first problem arose due to the fault of the manufacturer. The subframe was incorrectly fixed. In short, the curve of the frame. The second and third are a clear impregnation of the Finns, who were engaged in pre -sale preparation. The rear drums had the shape of an ellipse, and the oil pressure sensor was not fully twisted.
This is not to say that all troubles were promptly discovered. With a crooked frame, the mechanics had to tinker. But in the end, all defects were fixed, and at the same time the mechanics replaced oil and filters. And then we turned up with a request to provide a car for a long-term test drive.
We can assume that the professional skills of service employees were also subjected to test, which, as it turned out, all six months have been waiting for angry calls from the editorial office. But the intensive test made the following diagnosis: Nissan does not eat rubber; With sharp braking, it dutifully stands on all four bones as if dug; The oil does not flow and still, after 16 thousand kilometers, looks quite appetizing on the probe.
In short, we part with sadness and regret. For all six months, Nissan Terrano II regularly performed perverted whims of editorial driver. Moned dirt and snow, dragged bags with cement and potatoes in the trunk and a jet ski on the trailer. He was warmed in summer multi -kilometer traffic jams and freezes in freezing in an open parking lot. And for all the time not a single protest in the form of a boiled radiator or a dead battery.
We went on it for loud presentations, hunting, dragged dead editorial cars to the service and started frosts from the pusher of the chilled Lada. Our Nissan turned out to be surprisingly adapted to almost all life situations. And how will we now live without him?
