1987 Daihatsu Charade GTI from UK and Ireland - Comments

26th Sep 1998, 00:00

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.

I just want to say to you; a GTti is much faster than most fast cars. For example it is as fast as a BMW 325i.

Cheers!

And if tuned slightly can have Skylines (2 wheel drive).

45 mpg is a bit optimistic isn't it? I've never done more than 530 km on a tank (about 35 mpg). And that was with absolutely no city use, steady accel/deccelaration and that little green light always off! I'd be interested to hear how you managed 45 mpg...
