1986 Daihatsu Charade Standard review from Pakistan
"Mean Machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine required overhauling after about 1000000 Kilometers.
General comments?
The Daihatsu Charade is one of the best and fastest 1000cc cars I've ever driven! In the huge amount of time I've owned it, if raced with Suzuki Swifts (1.0), Cultus (1.0) and even Corollas (1.3) and Civics(1.5).. and won!.. That too on a standard engine.
I have already opened up the exhaust and installed an air-intake.
I'm planning to soup it up and get this baby Turbocharged.. in addition to a full body-kit and 13" 195s.. and then see what it does to the rest of them on the road..
Get ready for the ultimate charade.. you track racers in Karachi!!
