Daihatsu Copen (04-10) - Review Review by David Ross on 05 July 2007 Last Updated: 24 September 2009 The funky little Copen is one of the most affordable small convertibles around and great fun to drive too. Unusually for a car this small it features a metal-folding roof rather than a fabric hood, which means it is relatively quiet on the move and well-insulated from cold weather. It's diminutive dimensions make it easy to drive and a doddle to park in town, but the downside is a cramped cabin and virtually no boot space when the roof is down. The original engine was a 0.7-litre turbo but this was replaced in early 2007 by a more powerful 1.3-litre which is also more economical. 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 2.5 out of 5 Safety Twin front airbags are standard as are dual side-impact door beams and extensive underfloor bracing. Twin roll-over bars are mounted for extra protection in the event of a roll-over accident and along with ABS the Copen also features electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) which avoids the locking-up of individual wheels during sever braking.

However, the quality of some of the trim isn't as good as you'd expect from a company that's linked to the Toyota empire. Car check problem points Body No problems reported.
