Daihatsu. Enough

Daihatsu. Enough said.
Unfortunately I don't own the newer shape Sirion, from what I do know they can suffer from the same issues as all the 1.3 litre engine range and that is that the water pump can leak. Mine did on my YRV Turbo 1.3 K3-VET engine. Apart from that its a cam chain driven engine (K3-VE/VE2). Won't have a lot of BHP and is a heavier car to to the older Sirion model it replaced.
Worth checking out this thread I put together after a visit to my local Daihatsu garage last year:
