1985 Daihatsu Charmant LC review from Finland
"Reliable car at a low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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).
General comments?
A ery reliable car, despite the high mileage.
Good car at winter, works no matter how cold it is.
Transmission shifts smoothly.
