1990 Daihatsu Charade SE review from North America
"Best car I've had yet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Okay, it has some quirks:
A couple of shorts in the dash wiring.
A worn CV joint.
Nothing out of the ordinary with over 200,000 miles.
General comments?
I wish they'd made more of these little sedans, they run on and on. I don't see why people didn't buy into a car this good. Cars these days usually have major motor or transmission work done by now. Not this one. Still runs like a top.
