1995 Daihatsu Charade TS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Everyone should own one!!!!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong in the five years that I have had it. It is the most reliable car I have owned.
General comments?
This car has done 200,000km in the last 5 years over 4wd tracks and everything.. I treat it badly and love it for what it has done for me...
It costs virtually nothing to run. I travel with a camper trailer on the back and three 9 foot surfboards on the roof and still get 41 miles per gallon.
My father has owned one and swears by it and this is my second... my family with these three cars have travelled almost 600,000km since 1991.. I have spoken to a man with a 93 Charade 1 litre and he has done 137,000 he owns a security business and is still on the 1st engine with the original brakes and exhaust, this is no lie!!!!
Thank you, I just wish they still made it in Australia.
