2004 Daihatsu Charade MIRA VAN A review from Zimbabwe
"A Car For Our Time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On delivery the only thing amiss seemed to be poor trimming of front vinyl floor covering and a slight rattle of tailgate.
General comments?
Without wishing to tempt fate I can safely say that having driven this very small vehicle over poor roads in real comfort (given the engine limitations)..I am very happy we chose to buy within budget (£3500 new).
At 100km/h fuel economy with aircon on is around 19 kilometer per litre.
Whilst very lightly built (i live in a country where every third vehicle is 4wd) the QUALITY of assembly is remarkable.
