Bullet proof car
Just the automatic transmission.
This is one of the best Japanese cars ever made. It never let you down. I have tortured it many times.

Brilliant!
My Silencer had a leak when I bought it.. I got it fixed and gave it a engine tune up. Didn't cost me much!
VERY VERY COMFORTABLE! Its very spacious and is a very smooth drive.
Has manual steering, but isn't much of a problem.
It's a good beginners car, very hardy and long running.

Would Love to buy it again
The Seats have worn out pretty quickly, the transmission and differential of the car makes a very irritating sound even though the oil is changed and is up to the level. Needs to be changed once in two years. Not a bad buy though because of its reliability, cost efficiency and well built suspension.
I am a pretty rash driver and have given the old buster a beating. But hats of to Daihatsu that they have build a formidable rival.

Good, reliable transport at a bargain price
Head gasket blew at 45,000 miles.
Water pump failed.
Radiator needed replacement.
A superb car for the money, as long as you're only interested in getting from A to B.
My other car is a Porsche 911. When that is in the shop being fixed, I drive the Daihatsu (yes, seriously!) It always starts, even when its been stood for a long time (the longest I've left it is about 9 months).
From the exterior, it's a pretty bland looking old Japanese car. I like the interior, though. I guess I'm a sucker for the 1970s style velour seats, green LCD clock and fake wood (i.e. wood-look plastic) dash!

Reliable car at a low price
Alternator carbons wear out, I fixed them by myself.
Voltage regulator failed, I got used one for free.
Noisy at highway speeds (I improved the sound insulation myself, now it's OK).
A ery reliable car, despite the high mileage.
Good car at winter, works no matter how cold it is.
Transmission shifts smoothly.

I replaced the Air Filters, Platinum Points and cleaned the Carburators, and now it does nearly 11-12 KM per Litre in the city! Amazing... how such a big vehicle can move so smoothly and pull so fast even though its powered by a 1300cc engine. One of the most comfortable vehicles ever, very spacious, and easy to drive, even though it has no power steering. Highly recommended vehicle!
