Daihatsu Charade

Price: From R109 995

Daihatsu customers tend to be extremely happy clients; the dealers do an excellent job and the vehicles boast outstanding reliability, so we hardly ever receive customer complaints. There are definitely some funkier vehicles in the Daihatsu range (we adore the Terios, for instance) but, when it comes to bargain basement cheapies, the Charade remains a good option – even though it has been around for a while. All the models are well spec’d and offer air-conditioning, a service plan, a three-year warranty and plenty of space for driver and passengers (even the rear is very spacious).
