Daihatsu Owners

[Albeniz]

Used to own a 1988 Charade 1.0CX and a 1995 Hijet 660cc (S100RV).

 

Powerful for engine this size.

I a, aware of this underpowered BUT it has a higher safety factor than other 7 seaters under the Cat A class. Any others comment ?

Different cc so can't compare. I used to own a EP80 too, too bad the EP82 wasn't available in SG.

Highest spec EP82 from Japan I ever read was a 1.5L lower block from a 5A-FE pushing 300HP, capable of 300km/h!

Usually company vehicles will drive until 10 years. That's why nowadays company would rather rent the car or ask the person to buy the car under its own name, but company pay for them. So that they can change car around 5 years.

Just now saw a 22 years old charade running on the road! This car really tough, even now still might find one or two on the road!

Hi, just bought my first car, it's a Daihatsu. I am totally clueless about bringing the car for servicing etc. The manual says to use the AMMIX liquids (also listed on the Daihatsu Japanese website). Do local workshops have them?

hi,

AMMIX is e in-house lubricant brand for daihatsu japan.

dun tink local workshop have them.

but as long as e fluid u are using is e same type/grade (e.g. api grade, viscosity), it is ok to use regardless of brand.
