"This is not a real car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rattled from the get go.

Check engine light came on whenever it got wet.

General comments?

Salesperson sold me on how Daihatsu was considered more reliable in Japan than Toyota - ha!

Terrible fit and trim. Always rattled. Not smooth on highway.

Cheap carpet immediately wore out.

Convertible top was horrible to put up and down.

Zero power.

Dealership immediately went out of business.

Cheap. Cheap. Cheap.

The claim that Daihatsu was more reliable than Toyota is questionable, considering that Daihatsu was partially owned by Toyota, who has since acquired a controlling interest.

The comment you made about how you did not like the vehicle, does not make any sense if the mileage you put here is correct. You purchased the vehicle new, and put 90,000 miles on it. If I bought a vehicle with that much trouble, I would not keep it.

In fact the engine used in the Rocky is sourced and designed directly from Toyota.
