Hi Olukemi,

Well, like all Daihatsus the Terios is reliable and, once you get used to the narrow, upright cabin, it's even reasonably practical. Get the four-wheel drive version and it can even go off-road too. Unfortunately, that's where you'll want to keep it as the handling and ride are simply terrible. The Terios is really just designed for pootling around town at very low speed - get them on the open road, even a straight motorway, and they feel entirely out of their depth and in a stiff cross wind, they're simply terrifying.

Best avoided, really.
