Used Daihatsu Terios (2006 - 2010) Review Review by David Ross on 10 Jul 2006 Last Updated: 28 Sep 2009 3.5 The second generation Terios is larger and more upmarket than the car it replaces with room for four adults, but is still one of the most compact and affordable off-roaders on the market. It offers a good alternative for buyers who would have considered the previous Toyota RAV4 or Suzuki Grand Vitara (both of which have now grown in size and running cost). Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery Very capable off-road, value for money, well styled Firm ride, some cheap interior plastics, lacks refinement, no diesel engine New price range: £13,093 - £15,092 Used price range: £1,078 - £3,503 View all used prices Summary Parkers Rating: 3.5 out of 5 The second generation Terios is larger and more upmarket than the car it replaces with room for four adults, but is still one of the most compact and affordable off-roaders on the market. It offers a good alternative for buyers who would have considered the previous Toyota RAV4 or Suzuki Grand Vitara (both of which have now grown in size and running cost).With permanent four-wheel drive it's very capable off-road. It can also keep up with flowing traffic and feels stable on the road, but the relative lack of power makes it unsuitable for serious towing or high speed use.
