devonlad 0 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) A friend of mine is very keen on buying a 4x4 Daihatsu Terios jeep, Does anyone have any experience of these vehicles ? I assume that they are similar in capability to the Suzuki Jimny's ? He does a bit of ferreting, a rough shooting. And wants one of these just to get to and from his grounds. There is no need for anything bigger, more elaborate, or more capable off road as most of the ground is really just a few small wooded tracks in and around gentle farmland. If anyone has experience of these vehicles, it would be appreciated. Edited December 29, 2008 by devonlad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akton 15 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I reckon they are underpowered for the size of them and what they are intended for. Fuel economy don't expect more than 35mpg from either engine, and 30-32mpg with the auto box.the ride can be uncomfortable on uneven road surfaces,plus the Insurance is pricey. all in all just sounds like the old fiat panda 4x4 lol :clapper: A friend of mine is very keen on buying a 4x4 Daihatsu Terios jeep, Does anyone have any experience of these vehicles ?

devonlad 0 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Thanks for the honest reply, it was my feeling that they were a little underpowered, the fuel consumption is also poor by the look of things ! I think he was told he would get 45.. which is a big difference !! Does anyone have any suggestions for other small 4x4's that might be worth considering, and would be an improvement of the lack lustre stat's for the Terios ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Get a Jimny mate, not much room in the back but go anywhere and 30+ mpg and fairly cheap isurance, £115 a year to tax and cheap to maintain plus very reliable. HTH. Cheers, D.
