1991 Daihatsu Charade G100 CS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Value for money, proven reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this car in the 7 years that I have owned it.
Only maintenance items, e. g battery, brake pads etc.
General comments?
These little cars are truly amazing.
(My brother has a 95 model G200 with 265000 kilometres on the original 3cyl engine and it doesn't use oil or blow smoke).
The car drives as well as the day I bought it and is virtually 'bulletproof'
I don't won't to get rid of it, and if I do I will definitely go for another Diahatsu - probably a Sirion.
