1997 Daihatsu Charade CS review from Australia and New Zealand
"I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seals starting to leak now after owning it for 8 years.
General comments?
This car has reliably driven me all over Australia, I will drive it until its death. It is cheap to run and easy to manouver. I love it and highly recomend it as the best small car on the market.
