1987 Daihatsu Charade GTI review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 120K miles. Worn out rear shocks.
Snapped throttle return spring! - proved very interesting for a few miles!
General comments?
100 BHP 3 cylinder twin cam 12 valve rocket.
Weighs about as much as a mini and will see off Golf GTi's and XR3i's no trouble.
Cheap to buy and run - up to 45mpg if driven carefully.
