moxy 617 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I drive a ford maverick, its a 94/95 model. A fine motor on the road other than needing your own fuel refinery to run it!! As to its off road capabilities buy an austin metro or a push bike. Its ok dry off roading but add some water and you may as well walk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leveller Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 My missus has got a Maverick and she absolutely loves it she's had it 2 years and it's never let her down, she tows her three horse trailer with it twice a week through the hunting season she's recently been looking at various shogun's, land cruisers etc: but can't find anything as good as her current car in her opinnion. Personally I think it's fecking ugly but there you go mechanically it's sound and it is good for towing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyke 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Mate had a terrino forever towing him out of the wet fields, he give it up in the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bonzo. 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I had a '95 model, wasn't the worst, but there were issue's with the free wheeling hubs on the front end. One packed it in, in the mud & then several months later the other one gave in, again, when i was needing the 4x4 drive. It ended up costing £300 per side to replace them. Also, anyone running a Terrano, use the Ford spares rather than Nissan, you will save £'s on the parts, especially things like drop links. If i remember correctly, Nissan wanter about £90 per link per side, Ford was around £ for the two. Fuel economy was approx 28mpg urban use, no better or worse than my current Discovery.
