Faults:

Nothing so far as the car is less than a week old, but I'm hoping that Daihatsu's legendary reliability will shine through.

I will keep you updated.

General Comments:

The car is a huge bargain!!! But you don't see many around, and my SX is the only SX model I have seen.

The car is VERY easy to drive with light steering, a light clutch and easy to use secondary controls.

The 1.3 engine feels nippy and can cruise comfortably on motorways without feeling at all strained, although it could do with a touch more torque for steep hills.

Handling is generally good, but body roll is ever present. This makes you feel like you're going a lot faster than it actually is.

Equipment levels are amazing for a small car, mine has: electric windows x4, electric mirrors, CD/radio, remote central locking, rear parking sensors, easily folding rear seats, and rear parking sensors.

The body kit on the SX model makes an already good looking car look outstanding and sporty, without being boy racerish. The huge front fog lamps look great.

Fuel consumption is good so far, and I expect it to get better as the engine has run itself in more.

Build quality is good and everything is screwed together very well, though some of the plastics at the side of the seats feel a bit flimsy.

Rake adjustable steering wheel, driver's seat height adjustment etc. make finding the perfect driving position very easy.

The cabin is extremely spacious and attractive; the centre console is very easy to use.

Boot space is good for a car of this size, and folding the rear seats is a doodle.

I will add comments giving updates of the car as I rack up more miles.

Fell free to ask any questions about the car in the comments section, and I will gladly get back to you.
