It is a lot heavier on fuel than I was expecting. And having had it for 5 years, it has aged very poorly in my opinion.
The car has only 54000kms on the clock and has wear marks all around the rear tailgate window, to the point it has chaffed through paint down to bare metal in numerous locations.
The rear doors have chaff marks on the body almost the same as the tailgate window.
The tyres wore out in less than 50000kms of standard road driving, something that really annoyed me.
I've replaced the drivers side door lock mechanism due to stripped gears. Twice.
The r/h/r window switch failed and left that window in the rolled down position and blew the fuse for that circuit while I was away at work for a week.
The rear diff bush had failed, no idea how long ago, and was causing all sorts of noises throughout the cabin.
And my missus loves it due to it's size. 
I would love to trade it on a new Ranger when they come out, but seeing as it's 'her car' the likelyhood of that happening is slim to no chance.
I better stop now....... |
Sorry to see you do not like the Territory. We have a couple in our business and they seem to be good cars. We have not had any problems with them.
Had always thought tyres should last around 40,000 klms, so a bit surprised to see you are unhappy about getting only 50,0000 klms out of a set?
My son is about to buy a new Diesel Turbo Territory. The Dealer brought one down to work and left it with us overnight. Wow! that donk is impressive. Lots of power and very comfortable to sit in. Even the build quality looked very good. Only thing i noticed was the rear bumper was slightly off colour. Same thing on the Caprice. I am told bumper bars are painted in different areas of the factory and it is quite normal for them to be off colour.
Lots of replies so far. Please keep them coming. The purpose of this thread is to hear stories of your buyers remorse or disappointments with cars you bought.
