    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Having driven many 4x4's and ordinary cars over the years the Daihatsu is really excellent. Very little body role and it does not bounce around like some supposedly expert reviwers say. Engine is very smooth and offers very adequate performance.

    What's it like to park?

    It has rear parking sensors but really does not these. Very easy to park.
