Daihatsu Cuore

Daihatsu's little gem

Advantages: Cheap to run ; Super reliable; interesting ;fun and cute
Disadvantages: Not so good at long journeys

Bought the little Cuore back in 2003 ; quite a cute good looking car ; nothing fancy inside ; but the interior is pleasant enough. Super reliable to date I and my wife had had no problems with mechanics or any other part of the car. Very economical too just about runs on the smell of petrol ; an despite what you might read in other reviews; it is quite a nippy thing; for instance if you compared it with other brands 1.0 litre cars ; this one is ...
...it can hold it's own on open roads and overtakes ok too as long as you plan ahead and give it enough revs; it's quite willing and nips up to 70mph quite smartly. and will hold this speed quite happily on the motorway. The engine is quite up to this sort of behaviour and very willing to rev through the range; and indeed one thing that did surprise me was the flexibility of the engine; which will pull ; as long as you aren't in a hurry ; from quite ...

Review of Daihatsu Cuore

Great car for city usage and economical too!

Advantages: Economical, City Small, Environmentally Friendly
Disadvantages: Small

I love my little Daihatsu Cuore! It's not the first car you would think of buying but once you have one you'll be a convert too! For city living there isn't much better, I thought about getting a mini or a smart and I'm so glad I didn't. The Cuore is small enough to be a perfect city car, as you can fit into any parking space but it is big enough that you can give lifts to friends AND have luggage space. On top of that, it is very economical (it ...

One day all cars will be this green

Advantages: Very Economical
Disadvantages: lack of luggage space

I got my cuore in sept05. I purchased the cuore + 5 door version which came with electric windows and mirrors, power steering and free first service. I loved the way the car looked and this was part of the reason I purchased it. I much prefer this shape to the old shape cuore which was a lot squarer. and also the new charade which replaces the cuore range is much squarer and feels smaller inside than this model I brought my car on finance and got ...
...£150 a month for 4 years, paying back a total of £7200. Obviously new cars will lose their value much faster than second had and 4 1/2 years later I was offeres £3500 as part exchange when it had done 36000 miles and had full service history. While I had my little car I paid £25 a month insurance and a tank of petrol which would cost me around £25 would last for approx 300 miles. I never had any problem in all the time i had it and got an excellent ...

Review of Daihatsu Cuore

I love my coure

Advantages: cheap tax, cheap to run, great first car
Disadvantages: loud, lack of space in the back and boot

This car is a fantastic first car. Its cheap as chips to run and tax. I love mine. Yeah, I'd love to have something cooler but for now, until I'm rich this is perfect. Tax is £105 a year (at present) and you can fill the tank for £20. This lasts me 10 days going back and forth to work. And a bonus for long journeys too, I drove from Newport to Plymouth and back on one tank of unleaded! fantastic! One downside has got to be the space issue. You ...

Review of Daihatsu Cuore

A nippy little car

Advantages: Low running costs
Disadvantages: Limited space

In some respects this is a perfect car. Group two insurance so even fully comp is accessible. Low tax 847cc engine. You can park in the smallest of spaces. Though saying that, it doesn't mean that you can open the door enough to get out on 3door version. I must admit the jeers from people take a little getting used to. I used to put it down to the fact that it is unusual. For a little car it was hard to fault, mine with the added bonus of spoiler ...
...to look at. Fair enough it is slow on hills but recoups really quickly, you just need to learn the car as you would with any other. Fuel economy is also very good. From my experence though this car is not made for distance driving, it is ment for nipping around town centres, though performs exellently on a run. The comfortless interior relects this. The boot though small is adequate, and ample for shopping trips I found it an ideal car when I'd ...
