Daihatsu Sirion 1.5 SX car review
The Daihatsu Sirion has been on sale in the UK since the beginning of 2005, offering low running costs and high levels of standard equipment at bargain basement prices. But despite having frugal engines and a bold design, the Daihatsu Sirion lacked sportiness. With the 1.5SX, Daihatsu has fitted the Sirion with a muscular bodykit and a 16v engine offering a little more oomph.

Daihatsu Copen car review
City cars are all the rage for motorists seeking a small vehicle which is frugal, cheap to insure and funky looking. And the Daihatsu Copen ticks these boxes and has one advantage over other city cars – it’s a convertible. With the credit crunch tightening the belts of the British public, could the Daihatsu Copen be the solution to those seeking convertible looks with city car running costs? Read our review to find out.

Daihatsu Materia car review
On the first look it appears the Daihatsu Materia’s designers were given free reign when developing this outrageous Japanese compact MPV. The result is a car that looks like nothing on the road, is well equipped and reasonably priced. But does the Materia work beyond its wild styling and practicality? We drove one for a week to find out.

Daihatsu Terios 1.5 SX car review
The Daihatsu Terios is the ‘politically correct’ face of 4x4s. No enormous petrol engine and bulky bodywork here. Your money gets you a no-frills supermini-sized 4x4 with a small engine. But in a sector that sells on power and off-road ability, is there room for a High Street SUV?

End of the road for Daihatsu
Daihatsu has announced that it will no longer sell new cars in Europe from 2013, because it can no longer make a profit due to the strength of the Japanese yen. For many months now there have been major supply problems, with dealers unable to get stocks of any Daihatsu models, such as the Sirion, Copen, Terios and Materia.

Daihatsu Terios SUV (2006 – ) first UK drive
Off Road ‘Course’ can seem a little bit of a contradiction. Surely if you’ve bid farewell to tarmac and gravel you should be saying hello to “no rules”? Such forward thinking received its just desserts when I managed to ground my launch-day Terios atop a horse jump.
