A grandma driving terios is the most badass thing I can imagine

[@802726504]

I've had a '08 Terios Kiri for 11 years. I wanted a small practical 4x4 to replace my company car when I retired. Brilliant car, ultra reliable - no repair costs except one coil, tyres and brake pads and yearly service and MOT. Takes 4 adults plus luggage - we have toured Europe. Bit buzzy at 75+ (could do with 6th gear), but pleasant to drive. Permanent 4wd with lockable diff makes it good for moderate off road and snowy conditions. If I could buy the same car new I would.

[@darrenkhan6041]

4 adults and Luggage ? Oooo that must have been a squeeze tho

Makes me so happy to see a Daihatsu. Grew up on a farm and we had loads of Fourtraks. I learnt to drive in one at the age of 10!

[@bcfairlie1]

I'm a big fan of the Terios. Very underrated by many. A very practical small SUV. Extremely reliable

[@matauboy]

Drove an auto one almost the length of NZ including a 400km side trip to to pick up my daughter, her dog, and wordly possessions. We had to negotiate a storm and terrible driving conditions and it handled it really well. It became the perfect commuter vehicle for Christchurch after the earthquake.

[@jezza22565]

Brilliant little cars, ran one for 4 years, totally reliable ..bomb proof.. but getting bits is difficult, I had to have a stainless steel exhaust made as i couldn't buy a standard exhaust anywhere, still I actually regret selling mine as had low mileage and a fantastic service history, a shame Daihatsu pulled out of the UK , I had a sportrak and a fourtrack years ago...

[@mowtownni4587]

I have owned three Daihatsu,s over the years a Sportrak, which was a very capable off roader, a mk1 terios that saved the day one very snowy winter, sadly chassis corrosion killed it off, then a cheap little Sirion as a runabout. Daihatsu was a very underrated manufacturer.

[@L4C05]

I have this same car but it's automatic. While it's comfortable at low speeds and little offroading, it's really lazy at motorway speeds. But you can get used to it. I recently returned from 2000km roadtrip around Europe and I love this car!

[@warrenjoubert4027]

Have 2 of these, white 2 x 4, and blue 4 x 4. Both over 200 000km now. Luv em both.

[@ajeelahmedabbasi]

There actually was a Kei version of the Terios called the Terios Kid. It was just a lot shorter than the regular version and had the Kei engine. Good times.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Ah I didn’t know that

[@martinkitchin6204]

From the front I always thought that the Terios looked cute - like a puppy waiting to go for a walk. Nice !🐾

[@peterfi.]

I've ridden in an auto one recently. 250.000km and nothing has ever gone wrong according to the owner. I don't remember the ride as being bouncy as you said though, i remember it being surprisingly smooth and comfortable in town.

You have ruined my plans for KZbin domination as I was going to do the first decent KZbin review of one of these! But you are spot on here. I’ve had mine for about six months - very basic and noisy on motorways but it’s been thoroughly dependable and superb on narrow country roads and ‘lakes’ left on them this month.

Another great video! An alternative is a Fiat Panda 4x4. Every year or so I get bored and look for videos of one beating Range Rovers up steep slopes. I am a bit biased.

[@dalianovilli8764]

I have a Terios for 15 years and I drove it everywhere even at the worst roads here in my country and I just replaced brakes,oil,filters and one cv joint. The bad things are that they are only 100 in my whole country(Albania) and its difficult to find parts I have ti order from other countries and for the engine it has the fuel consuption is high. Thats it I love this car its perfect if you want 4x4 (bmw fan).

[@richarddyasonihc]

I am old enough to remember when Suzuki first released a four wheel drive model. In those days we thought they only made motor bikes. The original actually had a motor bike engine (I could be wrong), Itwas hilarious - having a 4 speed manual, a pal of mine had one, and it sounded ludicrous; reviving like a sewing machinene, eventually reaching about 40mph sounding like a strummer! The amazing thing was that he hitched it up to a trailer, filled with nearly two tons of sand & gravel & drove it back home using low range. He didn’t endear himself to other road users -espially when the lights changed during a.right hand turn, during which he was already in top.gear before he’d finished the turn.

I’ve been driving for 34 years both commercially and domestically and I can say with confidence that all of the bad/risky driving I’ve witnessed has been by Males.

[@khalidacosta7133]

@@stevec1097 I'd agree, after my 10 year stint as a commercial/domestic driver... the difference is, men's bad driving is conscious through testosterone. Women's bad driving is through ignorance. It's why there is a disparity in the level of harm caused.

My family still have the J100 Terios but it's called the Perodua Kembara (Kembara = adventure). Bought since new and has been reliable ever since. The Nautica unfortunately did not sell very well as Toyota sells the 7 seater rwd Rush instead of the Nautica's 5 seater 4wd. Not to mention the price was very pricey at the time as the Nautica was a CBU unit from Japan, the Rush was build in Indonesia.

Had one as a loan car while my Sirion was being serviced and it was fantastic, gear change a little notchy but not really a problem. Also while at the London motor show a few years ago myself and some friends were taken on the assault course in a Terios auto and have to say it kept up with all the other stuff including Landrover. Yes rust is a problem, better rust protection from the start would have been a good idea, shame the dealers didn't think of that as they would have made an extra few quid. Parts for all Daihatsu models is the major issue and the only reason I parted with mine, 13 years old and never missed a beat.
