2004 Daihatsu Charade 5-door EL review from UK and Ireland
"Lots of car for little cash, a good town car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This is my second Daihatsu, my first I wrote off. This one is as nice as the last one.
In terms of interior space, passenger comfort and general layout of the controls, it is even better than my last one.
The amount of available interior space is awesome, unmatched by any other small car I looked at.
My only complaints are:
1. the windscreen slopes back toward the driver sharply, which reduces the distance visibility slightly & also feels odd.
2.The CD player fitted to this model is fiddly to use, I don't change anything once I get moving, it's too distracting.
Both of these things are minor. The first I will get accustomed to, the CD player I will change for the one from my old car.
