Daihatsu Yrv 1.0Ltr 3 Cyl Charade Engine 2002

3 star review

Well, three years in and now with 49,000 miles, my 1.0 litre 3 cyclinder YRV is still going strong. Well as strong as it ever did. I have stopped driving it like I stole it and can get 50mpg regularly. Maintenance wise I have had it serviced once a year, with the front discs having been replaced and new exhaust fitted. I have no love for this car at all but it’s cheap motoring and surprisingly roomy for a wee car. I have to agree with a fellow reviewer, handling wise it’s no Aston Martin, but at such a cheap price you could never expect it to be! I will be keeping this one ’til it dies, which I have faith won’t be in the near future.

Daihatsu Yrv 1.0 Manual 2002

4 star review

I was looking for a small car, reliable with low running costs. I found a 02 plate 1.0l YRV on Auto Trader. Having never seen one before I tried to find reviews but there appear to be none for the 1 litre variant. The engine is a well proven 3 cylinder (as in the old Charades). It’s performance is as expected and is perfect for my 11 mile commute on A roads and one junction of the motorway. The fact it is only three cylinder is only obvious when idling, it is slightly lumpy compared to a 4. Fuel consumption is quite good for mixed driving, coming in around 40-45mpg but I would have expected a bit more. This is no track day car and the handling is, well, interesting. The interior is reasonable and feels surprisingly roomy. Electric windows and mirrors. The boot is a usable size and can fit a couple of small cases or a medium sized dog. All in all, I am pleased, it was never intended for excitement but is practical to me.
