Let's see; first of all I got this car from a guy who needed a bigger car, that's when I noticed there was suspension damage (very serious) and got it replaced.
The clutch bearing wore out at 110k. Clutch itself went right after I got that fixed.
Head gasket blown at 120k.
Water splashed out of the vents when either the heat or A/C was on, and I think the other guy created that problem.
Rust around the car, and the paint has faded too; went from red to pink!
Pretty good looking car once you are used to it, however it's ridiculously slow, even when it's warmed up.
Goes from 0 to 60 just over 10 seconds.
You don't even feel the car accelerate, and it's only a 1.6, but you will feel it when you use the brakes.
The inside was awful the way it's designed, but it's comfortable.
Never had leaks under the car.
Very fuel efficient at highway speeds, and it can get up to 90mph and still handles good, and it's still very economical!
Had good memories with this car, but I only had it for 2 years, then I finally got a bigger car because I was afraid to keep this for a long time. I would only rate this car a 5 out of 10. Sorry!!!
Wonder how many of this model are even left in the US--have not seen one in years. A comment on another review said they only sold 295 their final year in the US. If that is true then there are probably no more than a few dozen left, at most, still on the roads. Most people would only remember it because of the trademark infringement lawsuit filed by the movie studio that made the Sylvester Stallone "Rocky" movies, which apparently got settled, but by then Daihatsu was dead in the water in the US anyway...
