1990 Daihatsu Charade TS 1.0 petrol

Summary:

Want performance spend the $$$$

Faults:

Both CV's have been replaced

Clutch has been replaced

Seats are completely shot

New suspension all round.

General Comments:

Have done some performance work to the engine with some head work, a decent cam, free flowing exhaust which helped heaps

Trying to find an imported turbo engine has been a big hassle and the same for a bodykit

The changes in the suspension have made it handle like nothing I have driven except the new Mazda Sp23.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1990 Daihatsu Charade GLX 1.3

Summary:

Dollar for dollar, the best car I've had

Faults:

One thing, the air conditioning causes the car to stall at idling.

General Comments:

It's just a terrific car, gutsy, given its size, so easy to drive, darts in and out of traffic great. Easy to park.

Can use a bit of extra fuel in city driving, but open road gets 5.5/6 liters to 100k. It's a great, great, great car.
