Daihatsu Materia

1.5 - Despite its flaws the Materia is a very likeable car. Overall it drives well, looks fantastic and has lots of space for all the family. Most importantly the Materia is very different to usual small MPV’s. For those that don’t know the Materia is based on the Toyota Bb, Japan’s coolest cube car s [...]

Daihatsu Materia 2007

A great car, lovely to drive but I have had a car tax bill for £200. They say my car emissions are 176 g/km. I can’t remember what they were originally, can anyone help? For the first 2 yrs I paid £165.

Daihatsu Materia 2008

I have had my Materia for 2 years, it looks good, drives very good and as a car for two old folks it ticks all the boxes. My grandson thinks it is groovy, so the appeal spans from 15 to 70. If I were picky the fuel tank could be bigger, but I am getting 300 miles for £30 so I am very happy with its economy. I find the driving position very comfortable and the back seat space is quite amasing, the centre infromation panel is very good when you get used to it, the spec is exellent for the money. If you are thinking about buying a Matreia go for a decent test drive, it is different but I would certainly recommend this fun car.

Daihatsu Materia 1.5 5dr

Okay so it’s a bit odd looking but at 6ft 3" this worked in my favour as the ’distinctive’ shape gives you an awful lot of headroom. Not bad to drive but can be a bit noisy although you do get used to this. The big downside is the gearshift which can only be described as awful. Only had this car on loan for 2 weeks and whilst it does have it’s good points (spacious, good kit) it wasn’t hard giving it back.
