1990 Daihatsu Charade G 102 review from Indonesia
"ROCKS"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CV Joint Boots are went bad
Tachometer is dead
Main lamp cables are burnt out.
General comments?
This car is a little mini bullet proof, cheap gas, maintenance, and parts.
I use it for daily office commute for almost 100 Kms, via the Jakarta traffic and highway with 140 km/h for top, and it still keeps the performance good.
The service regularly 5000km changing the oil and the filter, following what the records book said. I hope nothing is seriously happen with my charade until I change it to YRV.
