2001 Daihatsu Cuore review from Australia and New Zealand
"For someone who buys their car with their head and not their heart"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong since I purchased it, 6 months ago.
General comments?
Great car for around town and roads up to about 90k/h - higher speeds tend to cause it to rev too highly (as its only a 3 speed) Acceleration is better than expected.
Interior is functional, and sturdy with extra headroom to create a sense of roominess.
Steering is very light and the car is very easy to maneuver, there is no car-park too small!
Headlights are large and work well in all conditions, there is also great visibility from the cabin. Twin airbags help to improve safety should an accident occur.
These are great cars for individuals or couples, who on occasion might have extra occupants who can be seated in the rear. Otherwise the back seats can be laid down permanently to make for a boot that's as big as a large sedan.
