Faults:

The engine began to lose power at 95,000 kilometers until I figured out it needed a clean-up of its injectors. Outside from that, this has been a no-headaches car.

General Comments:

Whether you think of it as an oversized station wagon or an undersized SUV, once you've used it you cannot deny how practical this vehicle is.

Although the ride is not as comfortable as riders of larger SUVs may be used to, this light AWD car will definitely take where you command it to go with good fuel efficiency and no major concerns.

It has enough room for my small family and a full load of groceries or two couples on a beach trip with full load of coolers and bags. You probably won´t believe it, but I've even fit a small 50cc motorcycle on the back (with the back seats folded).

I've gotten more than I paid for and I consider myself a proud Terios owner...

Faults:

Nothing yet.

At 24,000 service, spark plugs would not come out, car had not had a service since 6000 miles.

Another garage warmed up engine and they came out no problems. New ones have copperslip on threads so this problem should not re-occur.

It pays to have car properly serviced at regular intervals.

General Comments:

Super little 4x4.

Economic does 33mpg around town, 37 on a run at a steady 60 - 70mph.

Lovely high driving position, as good as a Range Rover!

Exceptional turning lock, can park it in any gap long enough.

Being a Toyota subsidiary, the build quality is first class.

Who needs a massive 4x4 gas guzzler!

Faults:

Nothing yet, and I hope it to stay that way.

General Comments:

The engine is a little too small, a 1600 would be nicer (or a small diesel)

Very comfortable, although a little narrow inside

The cover of the spare wheel damages the painting

Impossible to find spark-plugs in Europe (only with the dealers)

Faults:

I believe that it does not have the proper width. It is a little bit narrow.

It is sensitive to the side winds when you drive with 120 Km/h and higher.

General Comments:

It is a cheap SUV.

Until now I have tested it in the snow and in the mud and it was very good.

I will change it when my family become bigger. Until then, it is OK.

Faults:

No problems whatsoever - a pleasure to drive both on-road and off-road.

General Comments:

A very small car inside - however it is still very comfortable even on long distance road trips. Not particularly powerful - fixed with the addition of a 2.5" exhaust all the way through. Standard stereo system very average - fixed with 6.5" Pioneer splits in the front and 6.5" horns in the rear.

Great fun on sand - being a very light automobile it can sometimes even go where the big boys can't.

Faults:

To this day, I have had no problems with the Terios, although there is no chime when you leave the lights on and take the keys out of the ignition.

This has caught me out once, and I had to call the road side assistance to come out and jump start me.

General Comments:

My model is the Australian Limited Edition Aero. Still the same 1.3 engine, but added extras like: sunroof, body-kit and more.

The car to me handles quite well, and as a 4x4, it sticks to the road, gravel and other slippery spots like a dream.

Very easy to park in the city, and great to drive, smooth, and sometimes you cannot even hear the engine running, it's that quiet.

I have done mods to it, and it soon will look like the best Terios going around in Sydney Australia.

For the price, this car is a fantastic buy. I would recommend anyone to take a test drive at your local dealer today!

Faults:

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.

Faults:

Up to now, nothing.

General Comments:

A nice off-roader. Considering its size, very roomy.

The stiff suspension makes for a rough ride, but once you get used to hitting your head on the roof every 100 Km's or so, you find yourself starting to like this rough riding little car a lot.
