2001 Daihatsu Terios review from Australia and New Zealand
"A surprisingly good and inexpensive all road vehicle with some off road potential"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car ran perfectly while we had it.
General comments?
We hired a Terios for 8 days whilst holidaying in the Kimberly region of the North West of Western Australia. In that time we travelled 940 km over various bitumen, gravel and dirt roads and sand tracks. Whilst the little car is no power house, it performed well at 110 - 120km/h on bitumen and was quite surprisingly capable off road, especially with the diferential lock engaged.
