Daihatsu > Daihatsu Hijet Daihatsu

Hats off to Daihatsu!

Advantages: Cheapest people carrier on the market
Disadvantages: Rear two seatbelts are not the inertia type

I'm on my third Hijet MPV. (My first one was inexplicably stolen, much to the hilarity of my friends!) We had only owned it a few weeks, but felt pretty lost without it. We now have an immobiliser. I love our present one, and according to my local dealer, ...

Review of Daihatsu Hijet Van

same size as an old mini (but taller)

Advantages: loads of room for 5 passengers (or 3 passengers and a couple of bikes)
Disadvantages: no street cred

The HiJet mpv is an amazing little machine. I bought my first one in 1996, and replaced this with a new one last year (cost just about £8000). Why? Because it can park in the same space as the old mini, but it can carry up to 5 adult passengers ...

Review of Daihatsu Hijet Van

Daihatsu Hijet MPV 1.0 and 1.3

Advantages: Economical, Small, Better than other mini-mpvs
Disadvantages: People keep putting them down because they wobble. Of course they wobble! Read on........

.....Why do they wobble you ask??? Well, they have one of, if not the best turning circles ever. About 7m?? if I'm not mistaken. And they're taller than they are wide. So how can it not wobble? It doesn't make the vehicle unsafe at all, and even with ...
