Nope, nothing springs to mind
Nope, nothing springs to mind as common Sirion problems. As long as it's in good working order now and you do routine servicing then you should be fine.
The main thing to watch for with all older Daihatsu's, is rust. With a 1999 car, more than likely any rust just cosmetic only in the common places such as rear wheel arches, sills. But add another few years and it may need a few patches here and there underneath, but of course the MOT test will spot and advise on these.
Hi Blake, my Daughter has had
Hi Blake, my Daughter has had her 03 Sirion from new and has in excess of 60,000 on the clock. Apart from the obvious, Tyres, brakes and a flat battery after leaving lights on!!nothing has gone wrong. There is a rust spot near the bottom edge of the rear number plate, a bit of a potential water trap but hey, she is the epitomy of all those who just climb in and drive. There may be other little hatch backs as good but I doubt any are more reliable than this little gem. Good luck and enjoy yours. Happy New Year everyone....catch yer later BobF!
