The rear light on the left side broke down after three years. Daihatsu changed it for free: the cause was a corroded socket, because water squirted up from the tyre.
This car was incredible reliable!
I never had a serious problem. I made 40000 km per year with one machine, one clutch and the same brakes.
But I have to say, that most of the time I was on motorway (more than 90 %) not faster than 110 km/h, so I had very rarely to break.
And I never used my Cuore for Distances under 50 km.
And that is the reason because the consumption was only 4.6 to 4.8 L/ 100 km (=20.8 km per liter).
I bought my car (red, 3 doors) in Feb. 1999 when the production just ended and Daihatsu came out with the new Cuore (No. 5).
Hello my name is Armando Sequeira and I'm the proud owner of a 1999 daihatsu cuore l701. my car is the most fun fast and confortable of his class (compared to other k cars). I have driven my car for 10 straight hours and not one single problem. I feel so proud of owning my car that I think I will never sell it.
Thank you daihatsu for giving the world the most fun little car.
