Check out how narrow it is, then ask yourself if you do open road driving and how stable that would feel. Do you need four wheel drive too? I think it's a Daihatsu relabelled.

The Toyota Rush IS a Daihatsu Bego -same vehicle. mechanically more Daihatsu than Toyota IMO they are the direct replacement for the 1994-2001 Toyota Rav 4 size wise but they are so much better. Quieter, way more fuel efficient. More comfortable to drive. They are in my experience 50/50 front wheel drive and all wheel drive so if you don't want/need awd theres plenty of choice. Incidently the Suzuki sx4 1500 is pretty similar.

Actually they are in fact the same as a Daihatsu Terios. And REAR wheel drive, not front. Some are 4wd.
I have one. The 2wd model. It's small, has an amazing turning circle, easy to park. I like the being up high(ish) and the straight seats, no sinking into the floor tilt. It has a lot of room for such a small SUV. I bought it because I wanted small (but no coffin car things) and for the seats.
It's not bad, being a 1.5l, certainly doesn't have trouble getting going up hills or such. Of course if you wish to race about, forget it but it isn't gutless.

Toyota Rush is the same vehicle as a Daihatsu Terios, they just appear to use two marketing names. They are very good off-road and will outperform most other AWD SUV'S. They may suffer from some body roll on the road though, I haven't driven one, but would be interested to hear from somebody whom has driven one. They are fitted with a Toyota 1.5 litre 3SZ-VE engine.

I see a couple advertised with a proper manual gearbox.

It gets "better" than that. The EXACT same vehicle has three names in NZ Toyota Rush. Daihatsu Terrios and Daihatsu Bego. they are very nice to drive on road as a rule. I must add I had a brain fart in my earlier post. They are always rear wheel drive (not front wheel drive) .Some are all wheel drive with diff lock.

The other transmission option is a proper 4-speed automatic gearbox.
