2001 Daihatsu Cuore Plus review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and cheerful: a lot of car for your cash"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I crashed it and wrote it off. There were no problems prior to my accident. I walked away from a front end collision at speed. This gave me confidence in the safety of such a small car.
General comments?
Given that the Cuore is a budget car, there is nothing to complain about. It is plastic inside, but not offensively so. The colour scheme is easy on the eye, if unexciting.
The layout of equipment is good, with the exception of the dash-mounted rear wash/wipe switch, which would be better placed on the stalk controls for the main wipers. That's the only complaint (such as it is) that I have.
The seats are sturdy and comfy. The leg room in the back is adequate for adults on a short journey.
