1994 Daihatsu Charade TR review from Netherlands
"Quick, unbelievably reliable, very economical, and reasonably comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Red paint has weathered quite badly - white patches on the bonnet/hood and roof.
It's starting to rust in places, probably because I only wash it about twice a year...
General comments?
Lovely engine, excellent performance when pushed. It produces a great intake whistle sound (like a turbo) when accelerating onto the motorway. ;-)
Even though it's not always treated very well, the car has been utterly reliable.
