  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bought as fully optioned 1 year old ex-demo for just £6,300 although I understand depreciation can be an issue.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fuel, tax, insurance very good - servicing seems a little high for a small car.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Easy to drive - steering, gearchange fine, engine willing.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Engine becomes a little coarse at high revs but seems willing enough.

  • Living with it

    Daihatsu not the most inspiring brand but I like the stying in and out - still looks good and somewhat 'different'.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Ride suffers pretty badly on poor urban roads. Cabin narrow but spacious. Boot too small and items slide across flat loading area when cornering.
