2000 Daihatsu Terios Review (with off-road footage) - Matty’s Cars

The Daihatsu Terios arrived just in time for our "softroader" obsession in the late 90s. It makes a decent case for itself off road, but is it a sensible used buy?

Daihatsus have never failed to impress me in terms of performance for the price, I'd love a terios

[@EngMofarah]

It is great little car with small engine k3ve that would not die easy. Hit any pothole careless and Capable offroad that is lacking lower range gears. I drove over 1000km offroad in single day. It is great

[@MattysCars]

So good off road for its size

[@madameleeband]

Reliable? I'm worried about the 4wd system!

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

@@madameleeband super super reliable!!! We used many different terios and cami in Siberia!!!!!

[@CarCultureClub]

I’ve definitely forgotten about this make 😂 nice video Matty!

[@MattysCars]

Easily done! Thanks Bayley glad you enjoyed the video!

[@robertpewsey8931]

I getting one of these because the BMW mini I've currently got is crap. Can't wait to get back to simple basic motoring.

I am watching this video beacuse i own this car in 2021

[@tonygreen3528]

My wife’s 2000 terios is great off-road, outperforms the heavy big elephant off-roaders who constantly get stuck,

[@MegaFukuoka]

I used to drive Terios, it was impressive for what it was. Its pussy looks were deceiving: the power/weight ratio was good, the 4wd was good, the engine worked well with that beautiful turbo sniff sound, and it was strangely spacey enough.

[@MattysCars]

Totally agree

[@JamieKunka]

Hey Matty great Review! What is the tyre model and size on that Terios?

[@MattysCars]

Hello mate, not too sure what tyres they were on at the time sorry. Glad you enjoyed the review though 👍

[@nedrider]

[@yudrot4425]

Do you te recommend it as a first car? Im 20 and will use it in the City and in the terrible roads there is in my Town....

[@MattysCars]

I recommend it if that's what you're into

[@AlanWeller]

Like the review, but I am a bit confused over this car. It seems to have a lot of bad reviews. Do you 'love this car' because of its off-road abilities or do you love it for driving around town also?

[@MattysCars]

I believe the mark 2 (so the one that replaced this model) has quite a few bad reviews. Compared to say a freelander, the terios shown in my video isn’t as good off road. I like it because for the price you pay for one you can still have fun off road. Around town it’s adequate for its age but it’s really easy to park and good on the fuel round town.

[@AlanWeller]

@@MattysCars Thanks, I will take a look at one.

[@barrychatwin661]

I have a 2004 terios tracker and the only impressive thing that I have found with it so far is it's turning circle. The 1.3 Toyota Yaris engine is quite frankly 'PANTS!' The fuel economy is dia. Maybe that's where they got their name from🤣😂 There is no room between the driver and passenger. As for a family car!!! NEVER !!! Not unless they did a Severn seater for snow white 👍😎👍 Not yet had the opportunity to put its off road capabilities to the test and tbh, I'm not looking forward to doing that. I am prepared to say that for its size it does have adequate ground clearance though. Considerably more that the Suzuki Ignis which was it's in class main rival. A car I have owned and driven in very adverse weather conditions. It handled exceptionally well and was I can say more spacious than the terios with a bigger boot(trunk) and more passenger comfort in a smaller car,,,, go figure🤔

[@robertduncan7618]

The Mark 2 , 2006 to 2009 was fabulous too, I know I have one 👍

[@MattysCars]

Yes they’re also very good

[@madameleeband]

Reliable? Thinking about getting one!

[@MattysCars]

@@madameleeband Yeah definitely!

[@madameleeband]

@@MattysCars Thanks Matty! And thanks for the awesome content. I am most worried about the 4wd system failing, but it sounds like the whole thing has been reliable for you!

[@majubarakah7731]

I own one of this for daily commute to work... very realiable , cheap to maintain & zippy 4wd to drive ..

[@MattysCars]

Great choice. They're brilliant!

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]
