Daihatsu Sirion 2009

I’m from Egypt actually, not from England but I just wanted to say that I had this car for about 6 months and I’m also very pleased that I have this car because it’s very stable on high speeds, also on hard turns, besides I had a top speed of 170 KMH not as they say 160.

Daihatsu Sirion 1.0S 2009

I’ve had this car a few months now and I am very pleased with it. For a car sharing its basics with the ultra reliable, but significantly more pricey, Toyota Yaris, this car is a real bargain. Add in the current 5 year warranty, and the very reasonable fixed annual servicing charges, and I think you get the perfect small runabout car. I’ve read a few reviews suggesting that the Sirion is a tad unstable on twisty roads, and that the gearchange is poor. I certainly haven’t found either to be true with my Sirion. I find the little 1 litre engine to be surprisingly nippy, the handling to be fine at sensible speeds, and have had no problems with the gearchange at all. I particularly like the wide range of speeds comfortably covered by each gear - this may well compromise any "boy racer" performance at a traffic light drag race, but it makes for a very relaxing driving machine around town. A great little car, very comfortable suspension, and with aircon as standard, a real bargain for anyone not worried by brand snobbery - just remenber for £8,360 or thereabouts (I got £2,000 discount thanks to the Government’s Scrappage Scheme) you are getting a car made in Japan - in fact exactly the same car as Subaru sell as the Justy - for thousands of pounds less! Go for it if you want a perfect reliable runabout car. You won’t have any regrets.

Daihatsu Sirion 1.0SE 2008

Super little car does what it says on the tin though needs a bit of a stoke through the gears when fully loaded up hill but hey, it’s only got 3 cylinders! But boy what a spec it has, and the comfort puts many a dearer car to shame. You can drive a 100 or so miles in it and get out totally refreshed - excellent. Wife just adores its light clutch and super-light power steering - bit too light for me at times specially after a shift driving HGV1s! All in all a terrific car and we have had Daihatsu in the past so know what they are about,and when you can get a years tax for £35 its money in the bank! Oh and with 60mpg you can’t go wrong. It’s like a Tardis inside - get one and enjoy!!

Daihatsu Sirion 1.5 SX 2007

I have recently test driven this car as I am in the market for a cost conscience car that isn’t too flat to drive and has a certain sense of style about it - and I’ve seen it! - but it isn’t this one. The Sirion isn’t a bad car at all; the 1.5 has enough power to it and it feels nice enough to drive, but I just feel it’s an awful lot of money when you look at the competition. I’m afraid I’m going to be hanging on to my money until I can get my hands on the new Fiat 500, which is in a different class altogether.

Daihatsu Sirion 1.3 S 5dr

For the money this car is excellent value. It’s nippy and feels solid and safe to drive. On the minus side the boot size is very small and there is a bit of roll on tight corners but all in all it’s a great run about around town.
