I saw a Terios parked near me yesterday and thought WBTF would be fixated on this, and then you post this video! Cool cars. Maybe you should have bought the tiger striped Mini though??
Absolutely love the content! Looking for some advice. I’m going to be passing through the Midwest for work, where should I stop, JDM Austin or duncan imports Nashville. Thank you so much for the information
There's no need to just stick to keis anyway, there's plenty of other cool JDM cars. That 93 octane won't do anything for you. More octane just makes it more resistant to detonation, but there really isn't anything road-driveable where 93 is necessary. Here in Colorado, the highest octane rated gas you can buy is typically 91, with regular being 85.
The Terios was sold in Europe that's a Terios kid, In Europe both Generations of the Terios are a small suv 4x4 they sold really well. The Terios kid is a small Kei car. Both generations are 1.3 & 1.5 the 2nd generation was on Top gear around 2008 when Clarkson had it chased by Horse & Hounds through fields & rivers etc.
Drove a turbo Terios Kid in Japan and I still don’t know what it’s supposed to be for. The shape and ground clearance implied off-roader, but the steps limit the ground clearance and the turbo is best in the mid range. The aero kit and turbo implied sports car, but the suspension was way too soft, and the single cam really struggled to rev up to get on boost. Just a quirky lil in-between car.
I'm sure they have selectable 4 WD use it in 2 WD on the motorway that may well help keep revs down it should be far better on the highway over a Kei car.
It doesn't look as big as I first thought, but it's not that exciting for me. I was hoping you would get a Pajero Mini as I am very interested in them. Good job avoiding that electric POS.
Nick JUST4YOU information I watched the video the burgundy Pajero yas three years that one came in with the century. I sold burgundy almost 5 of them. Do you think the same but the different Vin number
Back when Diahatsu sold Rocky SUVs here I was looking forward to the 4door to be released. But Diahatsu left the country. Did they sell that 4 door and we could import it now?
Ah, I know what the title thing is prolly (just starting, you prolly find out soon), I could for example import a 2018 Acty if I wanted to, however do to the age, it can only be registered for Off Highway Use, IE only for use on private property, and once registered as such, it can never be given a regular title even after it's 25 years old
That Terios is really cool! I liked the electric one as well, for the price it wasn't bad. Wouldn't take much to replace the batteries. What is dad bod garage's TH-cam channel?
There are a lot of these electric trucks on government auctions. They were used for monitoring parking lots, etc.. They are extremely cheaply made and are not reliable.
David The Energizer 😂 pretty cool!
He really is lol
I love David’s positive attitude, he’s willing to take a chance on anything! Great video, keep ‘em coming Nick. 😊

If im getting a gas powered mini it would also be a kei truck, I would get a electric "mini/kei" if its cheap
Dang David, 16 hrs is no joke!! The terios is so cool, I thought it was the “kid” version on your Patreon lol
It’s the full size version!!
Shouts out iron driver David, excited to see what that terios can get up to in the dirt
COMING SOON!
Those Terios are cool little cars.
Absolutely love the content!
Looking for some advice. I’m going to be passing through the Midwest for work, where should I stop, JDM Austin or duncan imports Nashville.
Thank you so much for the information
Duncan imports for sure that’s a museum compared to the few cars at Austin
Footwell location on new Actys/Vamos is annoying, but I like having the longer wheelbase.
100%

Ima small car kinda guy even before I knew what a kei car is. Idk if I could ever drive a large car it’s very strange to me lol
Shoutout David
Very nice Terios. I own a 2001 Terios Aero in Australia. Pretty capable little rig and goes anywhere I need it to.
I can't find any aftermarket cool stuff? Does it exist like intake, ladder, any off road or speed upgrades
That electric car is a neon lemon. Run away (and you can probably run faster than it will go). 🤣
Honestly I still want it lol
You can buy part from Malaysia this model is called perodua kelisa
the electric one?
@@Waybeforethefame yes
Even the Terios, in Malaysia it's called Perodua Kembara but it's kinda hard to find parts for it as it is out of production
Shout out to all Daihatsu Boys !! and Mendy!
I got 3 Daihatsu’s right now!!!
@@Waybeforethefame super stoked for your new purchase bro! Cant wait to see all the upcoming content!
@@Waybeforethefame I only have the 1.
good video , thanks
Appreciate it!

I hope I can find some fun aftermarket parts for the terios
425cca batteries are the best for the terrios . Off road build!
MENDY STILL MAD
@Waybeforethefame i confirmed yesterday and he is
Nah spec JDM is the way to go
I'm sure they have selectable 4 WD use it in 2 WD on the motorway that may well help keep revs down it should be far better on the highway over a Kei car.
Off road videos coming soon
Get an Ozone generator to remove any odors in the car.
It doesn't look as big as I first thought, but it's not that exciting for me. I was hoping you would get a Pajero Mini as I am very interested in them. Good job avoiding that electric POS.
So you bought a MK1 Terios excellent their a great car usually so it's the 1.3 it will be far better on the highway than a Kei car.
Pretty much!
I have an opportunity to buy a terios kid but i cant get a loan for it so i may need to let it go sadly
when its time it'll happen
Nick JUST4YOU information I watched the video the burgundy Pajero yas three years that one came in with the century. I sold burgundy almost 5 of them. Do you think the same but the different Vin number
The electric car would be a problem. Like the Terios much better choice
I feel like problems = good content lol

Yeah we can import it, JDM Hawaii had a Daihatsu rocky I made a video on it

Really not that easy to do as a individual

www.youtube.com/@DadBodGarage203, It had 6 of those batteries so at least a couple grand to swap all 6+ the controller thats why I walked away
WBTF please translate km to miles lol😮(metrically challenged)😅
Doing It in the next video lol
@ thank you!

This one looked very very cheap but for $500 I would’ve took the chance
