Worst new car on sale today... - Happy Blue!
Took the Scooby in for service today. (Good dealer nr Wigan BTW and cheaper than telephone quote inc brake fluid change). Offered courtesy car which turned out to be Daihatsu Terios Sport. UHGGH.

OK it had less that 1000 miles but on the basis of 100 miles of mixed motorway, A road and urban driving I would make the following comments: -

No torque anywhere
No room for left foot, except under clutch pedal
Cheap interior fittings
Bouncy! Ride
Noisy - about 18mph per 1000 rpm in top so motorway driving and handsfree phoning a no no
No lumbar support on seats
No cubby holes for stuff

The only thing going for it was the high driving position, so easier to get into and out from than the ten year old Fiesta I am currently driving (See other thread). However, Fiesta is far superior in every other way.
