New Terios ... any good?

Forum: 

I didn't know the Terios even existed until I was looking through the catagories on the Auto Trader website and found it under Daihatsu. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be perfect for town parking but practical for my needs. Since owning one I've been very happy with it. Now I see there is a new style Terios and it looks like it's getting more publicity this time around. It looks fantastic and is sure to sell. The dimensions have changed. It is now longer, wider and not as tall. The Engine has also beed increased to a 1.5l from 1.3 which is a good move. There's not much competition either. Only Suzuki's SX4 is a close comparison but the Terios looks a better choice in my opinion.

Has anyone bought a new shape Terios?
What's it like to own and how does it compare to the old one. Has the mpg improved?

New Terios

Looks good and is based on the old Rav 4. I might buy one, but the mpg will be a bit less than the old Terios - expect about 33mpg.

New Terios

I was helping run a country show last weekend and it was like a swamp with wet mud. There was a new Terios on the Daihatsu stand and it got itself really stuck, but in fairness to it there were also disco's,diffenders,r.rovers etc etc getting stuck. I had great pleasure in towing all these in with my Foutrak!! But the new terios is very good. I drove one last week and was very impressed with it. It is a lot bigger and grown up than the last. Its not built for driving across muddy fileds but if you only want to drive on to wet field every now and then it will be great.
