Daihatsu Terios (2006 - 2010) 1.5 SX 5d (2006/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not brand conscious.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

What's that? Is it a Toyota? It's quite cute! It's quite big inside. Nobody has called it ugly yet but it is an acquired taste.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely. It ticks all the boxes and has been a pleasant surprise.

What are you likely to buy next?

As long as there is no major crackdown on (even tiny 1.5cc) 4x4s, I'd consider the next one of these but it won't be for a while yet.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£13,750

When did you buy the car?

October 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

Fairly good p/x on dodgy Disco! Model had just arrived to rave reviews and all research suggested discounts unlikely.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Downsizing from a Discovery. Wanted very cheap reliability, with no hassles, whilst keeping practicality and space.

What was the dealer like?

Very friendly and not intimidating in any way. That said, he knew he had a popular product at the time.

What's it like to drive?

Good fun to chuck around though a tad bumpy on back roads. Won't win any races on the motorway.

What's it like to park?

Piece of cake, even if it didn't have rear sensors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Space inside, ease of parking.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

rear parking sensors.
