Rather noisy engine. Vibration occurs when I turn on the air-con. I have sent it to the dealer but they are unable to guarantee that the problem will be rectified. Yet to solve this problem. Anybody who has the solution may E-mail to pgjamie@pacific.net.sg

I think the comment made is outrageous!!

I own a Charade model 1986, standard and it was not until last month that I had to get it to the workshop to get the engine overhauled and the shockers changed. Keeping in mind that I drive this car in Karachi, Pakistan, where the roads are quite bumpy, I think the Charade from Daihatsu is the best 1.0 litre car I've ever driven!
