Daihatsu Sirion (98-05) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Oddball retro looks shouldn't put you off this well-equipped and well-built supermini. Prices start at reasonable prices and most cars have electric windows, ABS, air-con (apart from base EL model), and central locking. Quality is reasonable, but there's a lightweight feel.

Performance

1.0 is a bit weak for the heavy body and needs to be revved hard, so go for the 1.3. It doesn't lose much in the economy stakes and is far more refined and substantially quicker.

Handling

Rather bouncy ride in town, but smoother on the open road. Rally 2 and four-wheel-drive Rally 4 are good fun and pep-up an otherwise pedestrian range. All models are grippy, although roll too much through corners. Easy to park and manoeuvre.
