Super TestCar reviews - Nissan - Patrol - Ti 5-dr wagonNissan modelsOverviewThe Ti was the top-of-the-line version of Nissan's go-anywhere Patrol18 Mar 2002 THE Australian appetite for four-wheel drives might be stronger than ever, but the menu has changed and large, traditional rock-hoppers such as Nissan's Patrol are no longer the obvious choice for suburban diners. Not about to be written off, Patrol is now endowed with a 4.8-litre petrol engine mated to a five-speed semi-automatic gearbox - and while the thirst for fuel is astonishing, the entire package is an altogether more appealing one. For the top-spec Ti, value remains its great strength. But has it got enough to turn the tide?

The final, fitting chapter in Nissan's four-wheel drive success story could well be the new-for-2002 4.8-litre Series III version tested here. |
