Nissan Terrano review
2004 Nissan Terrano (3.0Di SVE 5-door manual)
The Terrano has been around in one form or another for a long time now - 1993 to be exact. It is the result of a joint venture between Ford and Nissan to ensure both manufacturers had a representative in the immature SUV market. Since then the market has exploded and everyone from Audi to Porsche are getting in on the act. The Terrano is an aging car now; can it still hack it against the upstarts?

Nissan's 350Z: a proper driver's car
2004 Nissan 350Z
The 350Z has an excellent CV, with a family heritage of iconic sportscars such as the Z240/260 and 280, the later 300ZX and the big brother Skyline. The list of qualifications is also impressive. A 3.5-litre V6, mounted far enough back in the chassis to be classed as mid-mounted, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual box wrapped up in a stunning coupe body. The Z studied at all the right schools. Does it live up to the promise?

2004 Nissan Primera 2.2 dCi review
2004 Nissan Primera (5-door 2.2 dCi 138 T-Spec)
The focus is no longer on price, but rather value-for-money. Perceived quality is now high on the want list of buyers. Nissan recognised this before the second generation Primera was developed. Here we review the top-of-the-range T-Spec 5-door, fitted with the 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine.

Nissan Micra 1.4-litre SVE review
2003 Nissan Micra (1.4 SVE 5-door manual)
Before we took delivery of the chic little Nissan Micra, we noted that the on-board computer has an anniversary function, which allows the owner to program in their birthday and have the car wish them well on the day. This is not ground-breaking technology, but something to help the Micra stand out in the crowd of screaming toddlers that is the small car market. I did not expect to have to set the reminder for the final day of the loan, but that day actually did come all too quickly.
