thinking of buying a terios....advice, problems & any tips to look out for???

Forum: 

Hello there!

I'm thinking of buying a Daihatsu Terios and I was wondering if previous or current owners, would be able to offer me their opinions - good or bad. I would be looking for something no older than 2002 52reg, as that is my current cars age - and will not buy something older.

I'm particularly looking to find out any possible problems with the vehicle - i've tried searching and surprisingly, people have very few bad things to say... i say surprisingly, as there is normally somebody who has had a bad experience with a car!

Do they develop any problems?

What should i look out for with used models?

Do they managed motorways well - will one be happy with a 20min motorway commute?

Fuel consumption... what do YOU get to the tank?

Do they show any signs of tiredness after a certain age or mileage?

Just to confirm - in case it isn't entirely obvious, I'm looking at the old shape not the new (toyota esq) shape....

I hope you can help - and thank you in advance!

Kindest regards
