The Daihatsu Copen - sometimes a manufacturer makes a product that looks so desirable that everybody wants one. The Copen is one of those cars. Unbeatable for value, the Copen has retained its stunning looks and has added a stunning sophistication to match.

Daihatsu Copen Roadster

1.3 2009 - The latest Daihatsu Copen has grown ‘just’ a little and has been given a new normally aspirated 1.3 litre engine and improved suspension. It all adds up to an even more involving, fun ride that promises to put a grin on your face. It offers genuine sports car thrills for peanuts and will always be [...]

Daihatsu Copen Roadster 2008

Not for the faint-hearted, shy, tall or portly! As a bulky 65 year old I find it a bit tight roof up, but despite the rattles I love it. Best on a sunny day with roof down and Dire Straits on the excellent radio/CD. Yes, sorry that was me! Worry a bit about no spare wheel but with 5 years warranty and RAC cover perhaps I shouldn’t. Had cars for 43 years, this is the best yet - all the rest are just boxes on wheels, The Copen is special. Believe me!

Daihatsu Copen Roadster 659cc 2dr 2005

Only owned it for 3 weeks but the most fun vehicle I have ever owned. The road holding is outstanding and economy is very good. Performance is excellent for the size of the engine with only slight hesitancy below 2000 revs. I would disagree with Robin Martin’s review in that I feel that the body shakes and groans more with the roof up as the roof panels and windows tend to creak against each other whereas with the roof down all is harmony. Because you are so close to the road with such low profile tyres you also feel all the road imperfections but this is what makes the car such fun.

Daihatsu Copen Roadster 1.3 2dr

Attractively priced for the convertable market, and for the price it is a fun little car and not a bad little performer with the roof up, however, performance with the top down, which lets face it what you buy a car like this for is pretty dire with the slightest bump in the road sending shudders through the whole car. It does have some nice plus points and like I say for the money I suppose you get what you pay for.
