Trying to persuade my missus to get a terrano

AlexD333 · 15-06-2014, 14:10

So basically, the missus has become a custom to sitting up high in the terrano.

She is looking a a first car soon.

We both know she ain't gonna get a little hatchy thing.. She wants a 4x4

But she assures me she doesent want to run on veg oil ect ect

She has her heart set on a rav4 old skool shape at the mo, I keep telling her how juicy it's gonna be (2litre petrol)

C'com guys gimmie some pros for owning a terrano besides cheap insurance

Heee heee heee you asked for this ....

You can own them for a very long time, like, for example ...

I have had mine for over 19 years...

Cost of parts very low, and you don't need many either.

Easy to fix with a wealth of information on cheap fixes on our site.

Rav4 is a no no from me. If she really does want a "smaller" 4x4 then my vote is a Terrios, Jimny or Vitara BUT that said, the Terrano is far more value for money.

The Terrano is cheap to buy, reasonable to run, fun to drive and looks great. the added bonus of a Terrnao is that you currently have knowledge of the vehicle, a great forum when help is needed (and like with any car, help will be needed!) and she also has experience too (jumping into an old RAv4 will be a let down, but maybe that's just me?!)

good luck!
