DAIHATSU TERIOS (1997-05) 5DR STATION WAGON 1.3 AUTO4 is a small five-door SUV with upright styling and an automatic gearbox. In the UK it sits between a city car and a family 4x4: compact for town, but with a raised driving position and practical space. Its boxy look feels more purposeful than a hatchback. Best suited to couples, small families and rural drivers, the Terios works as an easy-to-park runabout with extra versatility for errands and rougher roads. The 1.3-litre engine and automatic make everyday driving straightforward, though it cannot match newer SUVs for speed, comfort or economy. Against rivals such as the Suzuki Jimny, it is a less rugged, more practical alternative, thanks to five doors and useful cabin space for daily life. mycarcheck.com has just two checks, covering one VIN, so figures are indicative: £500 average private-sale value, 29,000 recorded miles, 17,000 annual miles and four previous keepers.
