The only problem until now is with the speaker-system of the car. The speakers have no tweeter and their quality is low. The dealer of Daihatsu in Greece put a cd-player for free. The quality of the sound was very bad, so I put two tweeters front. Now comes a noise from the front right speaker (not from the back right), when the engine runs. The tweeter has nothing to do with that. The Dealer in Athens told, that it might be the speaker-installation of the car. I don't know and I don't want to harm the car. I would like to know, if other Teriosowners have or had such a problem.
The car is new and I don't know, if I will have other problems. The other problems like noisy aircondition and engine, are not problems for me.
This little car is not like the others. It has a soul. You love it. Its becomes a part of you. With that money I could buy a bigger and stronger car, but nothing like Terios. I'm feeling free and safe with that, specially hier in Crete where the roads are good for cars like Terios and other SUVS.
Terios can do many things. It can go on the sand, in the mud or even on the beach in the seawater!
Strange, I had the same problem in the front right speaker, which I fixed installing bigger speakers in the back and sending to them the 70% of the signal (you can do this with a good CD player), for me, it appears to be a size problem, the front speakers are too small, and when you have a CD player with 50wxchannel, you can hear the noise.
Other problems I have, the lack of spare parts (I crashed my Terios 2004 and the spare parts took 3 months).
It's a good and strong car, I recommend it to anyone who wants to go off-road with no harm to the nature.
Cheers.
Thank you for your answer! I will follow your advice. I am sorry about your accident. Good luck and have a nice time with your TERIOS!
Could you please tell me why there is no Low Gear?, or its transmission is good enough for off road use (not extreme off road).
There are no low and high gears because 1st and 2nd are geared so low you don't need low gearing on this car.
First: Could someone tell me whether the Daihatsu Terios 2004/2005 has a galvanised body?
Second: the gear ratio of Daihatsu Terios models prior 2000?
I have just bought Toyota Cami (2000) twin sister of Terios. Offroad is great joyride, but on the highway to reach 100 km /hr 5 gear requires 4500 rpm! very noisy...
Is it normal? Please advise to zbig@wenda.org.
Yes is normal to reach 100 km /hr 5 gear requires 4500 rpm.
Hi, any info I can get on a Daihatsu Terios 1998?.. I crashed my Daihatsu car and am unable to locate parts, can you help? It's mostly front end parts. Please help me.
