Daihatsu Copen 1.3

This beautiful car with its classic good looks is immediately eye catching. Its a great car to drive and with its twin turbo boost to give you that extra bit of speed. You will immediately be the talk of your workplace or street as people will stop you to ask what type of car it is ( this has happened to me on numerous occassions and have even been asked about the car when stopped at traffic lights!)

The roof glides off effortlessly and quietly within appoximately 30 seconds although boot space then becomes extremely tight. This car is a great weekend run around however its not really suited for daily commuting as the maintanence of the car requires an oil change every 3000 miles which can make this an expensive option. Fuel economy in urban mode is around 40-44 miles per gallon fantastic for most cars these days let alone a sports car.

Another factor to think about it cockpit space. This car is built for fun, its speedy and accurate on the road. It grips and hugs corners and like most sporty cars it is very compact and close within the cockpit so for taller individuals access in and out f the car could be laborious and not the funnest option or a daily commutable vehicle, though it wins hands down as a weekend run around.

Overall given its price its styling and performance this is a fantastic second car for those who are looking for an eyecatching reasonably priced convertible.
