Tollerman Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Bought my Terios new eight years ago.It's never let me down and is very economical to run.My wildfowling partner and I managed to get two dogs and all our gear in it.It's hauled wheat about the shoot and done just about every thing else needed. Stands up well against heavier 4x4 s and because of it's light weight seems to skim over the mud while they sometimes sink.If they had not stopped selling them in Europe ( spare parts service not affected ) I would certainly buy another.

tigger got stichs Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 didn't know you couldn't by them new any more? looking at 06> 1.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tollerman Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 It was something to do with the poor exchange rates so they stopped selling cars in 2012. You could import one although in Japan they are now sold with a much smaller engine . Cost would be prohibitive as I worked it out at £18000 plus !

When you have to shove the rear seats forward to put your shotguns and kit in it becomes an issue. Day to day wise I didn't have an issue with mine but shoot days were always a bit of a compromise in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
