Daihatsu Charade Hatchback (03-07) - Review

Review by Parkers on
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.

Reliability

A long history of building go-anywhere off-roaders has given Daihatsu a proven record for reliability. The Charade may look cheeky and feel a bit flimsy when you slam the doors, but it has the makings of a tough little car.
