Daihatsu YRV (01-04) - Review

Review by Parkers on
The YRV is billed as a Young Recreational Vehicle - a direct rival to the Nissan Micra and Suzuki Ignis. It's cheap to own, easy to drive and offers a similar package to the Toyota Yaris (with which it shares an engine) for a cheaper price.

Comfort

Although the cabin is quite narrow, there is plenty of space for the front passenger - and two adults in the rear at a push. Seats are unsupportive and too small, while wind, road and engine noise can make longer journeys a chore.

Practicality

Narrow cabin, but sliding rear seat allows choice between rear legroom and load space. Rear seat folds completely flat and boot opening is large, aiding loading.

Behind the wheel

Lack of steering wheel adjustment is a real pain and means you can never be totally comfortable behind the wheel. Electric mirror adjustment is awkwardly placed and some other controls are fiddly.
