For what it’s worth I have an old 1999 2.7 Auto, it’s the only auto that I have owned though driven other autos occasionally but that’s all. So not sure if that qualifies me to say what the 2.7 auto is like. It’s only 3 speed which I’ve heard people say that makes them rubbish. Well I like it, I really like the Terrano 2.7 auto. It seems to go very well when I ask it to but at the same time it can be a nice relaxed drive too. It seems to cope with all the terrain I’ve driven it in, I use the 1st and 2nd manual selection especially the 2nd gear to control driving down hills. Have to say it’s a little heavier on fuel than a manual.
Blocky has the 3 litre auto, I’d love to drive that as I like the 3 litre manual that we also own though I’m not impressed by the quality of newer trucks.

My experience with this truck has made me think twice about any future car and maybe choose an auto.
