Hyundai Terracan 5 Speed Manual 2005

2 star review

Car has only done 58000 miles and requires a new limited slip diff, been quoted £2218.00 for a new diff plus fitting etc! This is a common weakness with the Terracan and the diff can fail at any time. I have also found that parts are very expensive if you can get them with a leadtime of 8-10 weeks if one is lucky. Overall whilst they may be cheap to buy once they go wrong there very expensive to repair if no longer under warranty and many garages do not want to touch them. My advice is pay a bit more and buy a main stream 4x4 or get rid before the warranty is out.

Hyundai Terracan 2.9 manual 2005

5 star review

Our vehicle is 100% working every day. It has towed an Ifor Williams 16ft flatbed the length and breadth of the UK effortlesly and is now at just under 100k miles with very few problems. We were all very sceptical to start with...but are now loving the car. Best of all it doesn’t have the image associated with all the posh 4x4s. Am just about to buy another one for my own private use, a 2007 vehicle with 30 k on the clock for £ 10k. Px a Nissan Navara D40 which is the biggest load of rubbish ever to come out of the Nissan stable...new clutch at 40k, new rear wheel bearings at 45k, new turbo at 60k ...another new turbo at 61k and just recently another set of rear wheel bearings (£650!!). The only good bit is I only have to pay £3k in exchange for the Terracan (and this one is the SE so has nice leather seats and a DVD)!!

5 star review

I have owned Discos, Jeeps, Troopers and the Terracan is streets ahead for comfort, economy and towing ability. Still on the original tyres after 55K miles. Just fitted new front pads and this motor spends 80% OF ITS LIFE TOWING 2.5 TONNES PLUS. I think it will live with me forever. Nobody will pay me what it is worth to change.

Hyundai Terracan 2005

3 star review

I purchased from new, complete with all toys, leather, blacked windows etc. It cost around £22,000. Superbly comfortable whilst motorway cruising and easy to drive around town. However taken off road and its a different story. Have been bogged down in mud, it struggled to go up a gentle muddy grassy slope and it struggled in a few inches of snow. Despite being in low ratio, no power is being transferred to the front wheels. I returned to dealer but unfortunately it had changed hands and no longer ’Reekie’ who were great. The dealer found nothing untoward. Unfortunately I do a bit of off road driving during the shooting season and I no longer have any confidence in this motor’s off road ability. I’m now on the lookout for something more suitable, like a scrappy old Ford Maverick which my friend uses without fault.

Hyundai Terracan 2.9 diesel, auto 2005

5 star review

I purchased my Terracan in May 2005 with 20,000 on the clock from a main dealer. It’s spacious, extremely comfortable, 100%reliable, economical,a pleasure to drive, very well built and superb on tyres. It came with factory supplied Kumho tyres; 35,000 on clock when I had to replaced them the front pair; chose the with same tyres, which were very reasonably priced. Back tyres are still original and now at 40,000 on clock now with still plenty of meat left on them. Wife loves comfort and privacy glass in back and there is plenty of space in the rear for larger items. I drove mercedes prior to this car, no more though,really gone down hill since chrysler bought them. Would I buy another terracan? YES, but at the moment very happy wth the one I’ve got.

5 star review

You certainly get what you pay for! I got a second hand 2005 last year for under £9000; outstanding value for money. Ride height - excellent, consumption - very reasonable considering the engine size; it looks the part too. The only worry I have is when the UK government start to hammer us 4x4 users for extra road tax. For a government that takes a 75% profit at the pumps and just throws my hard earned tax money at every problem I have serious misgivings. But enjoy this car if you can get one. You’ll feel the difference stepping down from a Land Rover but the savings more than make up for it.

5 star review

I bought the car after owning a Sante Fe for two years. The Terracan is a lot of motor for the money. A Range Rover it is not but you must consider that you could buy 3 Terracans for the price of a Rangey! It has been a totally reliable, very adaptable car, cruises very comfortably but gets a little noisy once you exceed the legal limit of the British motorway. The ride is a little hard when the vehicle is lightly loaded but that is not a problem when flying up the M6. Overtaking is never a problem - in fact when I last had it serviced the petrol powered courtesy car felt like a slug on sleeping tablets. I am looking to replace mine now with a ............. Terracan! but this time I will go for the autobox and leather options.
