Im Miles from Sydney Australia, and I drive a 2001 Terios Aero:
Terios, to me, is a small compact mini wanna be 4X4, that looks like any Nissan Patrol or Toyota Landcruise could run over in a flash.
But I did not care when I decided to buy my very own Terios Aero back in November 2001, that I traded in for a 1989 1.8 Nissan Pulsar Vector.

I'll be honest when I say that the Terios does not have as much power as my old Pulsar, that had a 1.8L Engine, but Im very happy with the performace that the Daihatsu Terios does offer with their 1.3L Engine.
When I brought my Terios, it came with a 100,000k/3 Year warranty which I've only had to use once. Back in Feburary 2002 the Terios went into the workshop to get the left rear back shock replaced because it was leaking, since then, I have
not had an issue.
My Terios in Australia is a limited model and has been badged as "SX Aero", very different from its sister the "SX" as you can see here in the photo's below.

The "SX Aero" comes with a Genuine Daihatsu Bodykit, sunroof, alloy wheels,
and sports trim for the inside.
These are the following mods that I've done to my Terios:
Lukey Sports Exhaust.
Stereo System; 12' Sub, 6x9 Speakers, JVC Deck and splits.
Changed Yellow indercators to Clear.
Added driving lights to the front bar.
Steel wheel cover on the rear.
Plently of stickers; Sydcruise.com and TeriosGroup.com
Glad to have found the 4x4 Forum, unfortunatly my Terios is not a true 4x4, but it does go well on sand.
I hope Terios owners are allowed here.
