1988 Daihatsu Charade review from North America
"Cheap and reliable! find one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Pretty much nothing went wrong...
When I bought it for 300 bucks the muffler needed replacing.
And I changed the brakes and oil when I got it.
40,000 miles later the clutch was going, and since parts are impossible to find for it in the US, I decided to sell the car...
General comments?
Best car I've owned. paid $300, drove it from coast to coast 3 times, up to alaska and back and it was my daily driver for over two years. all that with only a 3-cyl engine!
