1987 Daihatsu Charmant LC 1.3 petrol

Summary:

Would Love to buy it again

Faults:

The Seats have worn out pretty quickly, the transmission and differential of the car makes a very irritating sound even though the oil is changed and is up to the level. Needs to be changed once in two years. Not a bad buy though because of its reliability, cost efficiency and well built suspension.

General Comments:

I am a pretty rash driver and have given the old buster a beating. But hats of to Daihatsu that they have build a formidable rival.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
