Daihatsu Terios 1.3 - Any advice?

Have never driven one but from any reviews that have been reported they are a terrible car by all accounts. The newer model is light years ahead but unfortunately are probably outside your budget.

Have a look at the Suzuki Jimny, probably the only real alternative to the Terios. At least the Jimny has offroad ability and I would put money that it would put money that it is better in every department than the Terios. Only downside I can see is the Jimny is not available with 5 doors.

Never understood why people buy these machines, bad on the road, cramped, and silly looking.

Awful car altogether, but I suppose it's a cheap way to drive an SUV. I drove one a couple of years ago, and have never felt as cramped. From the side on, it sort of looks the part, but it's so narrow when you see it front on - looks like a Fiat Seicento on stilts.
