Daihatsu Charade Hatchback (03-07) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 2003 This Fiesta-sized package is one Japanese supermini that not only looks modern, but feels it. The cheap price gets buyers into the showrooms, but it's the quality interior finish, substantial standard equipment and comfy ride that gets their signature on the order form. 3.5 out of 5 Other Daihatsu reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3 out of 5 Performance The three-cylinder 1.0 may only have 58bhp, but it's willing, sounds quite sporty and is well-suited to nipping in-and-out of traffic. Motorways need to be tackled at a leisurely pace as the little engine's not really up to repeated long-distance treks.

The flipside is that there's considerable bodyroll and tyre squeal if you try to take corners at anything other than pedestrian speed. There could be more grip and the steering can feel remote at times. Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
