1993 Daihatsu Charade LX 1.3 petrol

Summary:

Awful car

Faults:

Driver's side seatbelt fell off multiple times.

Rear left brake drum failure.

Loss of 3rd gear.

General Comments:

Dull to look at. Dull to sit in. Not very comfortable. This car isn't good at many things, it's terrible in fact. But it's good on fuel so it has that going for it. The reason it's so good on fuel is because it accelerates slower than anything on earth. When going past 60mph, the car would shake violently and make a loud rattling sound. The steering was very inaccurate and suffered from heavy understeer. Wouldn't recommend you buy it.

The Charade is an excellent Japanese car. Yours has been abused and not looked after properly, and at 22 years old has had enough, so it is not really fair to slate it.

1993 Daihatsu Charade GXI 1.3

Summary:

Superb performance, looks good...

Faults:

Not much at all (which is why we still have it), just wear and tear...

General Comments:

This car is the most reliable car we have ever had, starts every time, goes like fury, but we drive it at 65mph usually. Handles well on the road, and very good for a town car...

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

1993 Daihatsu Charade GTti 1.0

Summary:

A weapon, a demon, my beast...

Faults:

The heater matrix has recently stopped working, therefore no heat in the car.

The CV joints are just starting to give up the ghost.

General Comments:

I've been in some very fast cars, but for a car that is only 1 litre I wouldn't part with it for any other on the road.

There's only 1 car that comes close around my town and that's the Renault 5 GT Turbo Taider.

This car is a 1 litre demon on wheels...

Sorry, can't find ant bad points about my baby...
