You Need To Know About The Daihatsu Copen! Simplistic FUN!

Hello Ross looks like you had a good time driving around Japan and You sure do need s small car like that to have some fun in enjoyed your videos thank you

Love the vids mr Ross

Daihatsu ended its Australian operations in March 2006 after almost 40 years there. At the time the marque sold the Charade, Copen, Delta, Sirion and Terios models.

A 5 speed manual would have been really good for you to drive

So, a bit like my '72 Mini? Yeah, it had 1100cc's, but its actual power was less. I miss that thing, but I wish it had been made in Japan, I would have kept it a lot longer, I reckon.

We used to have the Daihatsu Copen in Europe, but we don’t have it anymore.
I saw just a few of them.

I thought it was a remote control car😂

I remember these when they were on sale in Oz new in the 2000s. They were a crazy $35,000 plus for bugger all car. I actually recall saying you would have to be a sucker to buy one at that price. Don't think they sold many.

I Still have a 94 4X4 ROCKY 2.8LT D 200+KM UNSTOPPABLE IN DA BUSH NEVER BROKEN DOWN I'VE HAD MATES BUY 5,6,7 OTHER 4WD FROM JIMNY'S TO LANDCRUISERS IN THAT TIME 10K vs 100's of K $$$ I've done personal mods myself ie suspension tyres & just last weekend beat a new 1/4 million land rover discovery on a hillclimb absolutely pants it mind you I'm a nut & I'll send anything 250K ? If I got it ITS GETTING SENT

I found it disappointing that when GR did the GR copen they didn't rear wheel drive swap it

Hey I just ordered 2 shirts off society apparel and instead of receiving 2 I received 3 with a note saying the shirt included was free and was wondering if you packaged it since you are in japan if it was thanks😉

Have you ever driven a mini Moke?
You should after this lol.
No power, flat out at 120 KMPH down hill on a good day.
But f,CK they are fun to drive, especially with no roof. I took my bosses son for a drive in it in 2000 after he said he wanted to be a race driver, typical commodore hero. He was puking out the side, literally. I almost got fired for it lol. Back in the day in the Twistys down hill the z3 and Mx5 driver's were hard pressed to keep up. Just fun.
As soon as the road for straight or flat they would pass without a second thought.
The good thing about these little car's is you can flog the shit out of it and it's fun to be able to truly reach the limits of a car on public roads.

Yeah mate I feel like your eldest boy could drive that lol,so tiny hey but seems perfect for those winding roads you're driving on,I can't say I'd own one because I love big cars but I would like to drive one for fun,ok thanks Johnny a great review man.

Doesn't hold up in term of design to the First Gen Copen. Still if it was available here in Aus I'd seriously consider one.

Yo I actually saw one last week at a car meet at craigieburn Bunnings

GR copen as toyota owns Daihatsu thats who ha ha... its the entry level GR

This is brlliant - thank you!

In the UK they sold the earlier ones as a 660 cc turbo but than replaced it with the 1.3. But they weren't that popular so they stopped making them.

Yes awesome review and Choice? of car..., I really want to know all about an ugly gutless piece of Daihatsu boring crap. No Man with any self respect would be seen dead even looking at one of these Hideous things. They should be illegal, and not on the road purely based on looks alone!

I'm a mechanic and the Daihatsu is one of the best quality cars I've worked on for the price range. The Charade was a pretty good seller in the 80s. A 3 cylinder 1.0 L car.

I have just gotten this craze for Kei Car sports cars and this is one of the onlt pieces of media I could find on the Copen, great video man! 🙌❤️

I know you are young but a quick google search will tell you that they Daihatsu were sold in Australia & there are still plenty registered & on the road today

I whish they would put the steering wheel on the LHS (also the pedals), then I can get one. A great fun car.

Can you please comment on its AC performance? I mean whether it will work efficiently when mercury scales up to 42 Degree Celsius to 44 Degree Celsius. Please advise.

This passed to my feed and the thumbnail caught my eye. Didn't watch the vid, just directly went to the comment field. Why Whites are so ignorant?

It's a shame they didn't carry on building the charade gti 1lr it was fantastic car

I liked the Video but 3Years for a Drivers Lincens? Nah, where did you get that info? TF?

i´m driving a Trevi that is goint to be 17 years old soon. its the best car ive ever driven. small from th eoutside but rather spacious from inside. and it has the best overview a car can have. the only "car" i drove with a similar overview was a Mercedes Sprinter and that thing isnt an everyday car.

Copen is better than s660

Can u take these to the USA ?

Die hard - su

are u driving at the wrong lane? haha

Kei cars are fantastic. My wife has a 1300cc version Copen. Sadly though in the UK we just can't shake off the SUV fix, & judging by the size of the average Brit now, kei cars aren't an option.

my goodnes, bla bla bla but youre saying nothing really

Nice video mate just wondering how tall you are? I'm 6'1 not sure if I would fit.

I had a Daihatsu Charade and I absolutely loved it, very easy to drive and didn't used much gas. If you live in a country with narrow roads like mine or if you don't want to waste to much money on gas, its fantastic. I'll just be concerned of how well they go uphill. We need more of those types of cars here in Costa Rica <3
