1991 Daihatsu Charade review from North America
"A inexpensive fuel efficient car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The seats in the car have started to wear down very quickly.
The engine burns a little oil.
The paint has chipped off the hood and on the roof.
Back hatch has leaked in the past, but is now holding well.
General comments?
This car is incredibly easy to shift.
The clutch has been in for well over 20,000 miles and is still going good.
The gas effiecency is awesome for this car, I am getting 35 miles to the gallon.
It has a bunch of extra room even though it is such a small car.
