1989 Daihatsu Charade CLS review from North America
"A tough bargain that beats anything in its price range!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing! Even the brakes lasted 100,000 miles! Just oil changes and tires!
General comments?
This was a very tough vehicle, too bad they stopped selling them here! You could drive it two weeks on 10.00 gas. High quality materials used, much better quality then any of the Korean stuff being sold in this country! Felt very solid, like a much bigger car than it was. Why did they stop selling them here? A high quality car people can afford, what a concept!
