1989 Daihatsu Charade TS review from Australia and New Zealand
"A reliable runabout"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hardley any problems this this little car.
Had to get the wheels alligned shortley after purchased the car.
General comments?
The Brakes are quite squeaky.
Great first car for short people.
Great reliability.
Very good performance for a 1.0 litre car.
No engine replacements, which is very good for a small car that's done 221000 kilometres.
