1998 Daihatsu Sirion review from Australia and New Zealand
"Overlooked bargain of a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers seat has lost a little shape.
When idling the bonnet rattles.
The car is a 3 cylinder, therefore the car has a slight vibration, but nothing too serious.
General comments?
I've put 14" alloy wheels on the car. Which increased the width of the tires. This dramatically improved the cars handling and the steering (the car doesn't have power steering)
The car came with 2 factory speakers in the front doors. I recently installed new speakers in the front and noticed that in the rear doors, there was a space and wiring for a speaker, only they were never installed. Worked out really handy for me!
The car is really economical, even when driven hard.
The car has never failed to start, and can handle a carload of adults when it needs to!
This is the best car to park, fits anywhere!
