Summary
Recommended. Miniaturised roadster is unlike anything else on the market - but it struggles to cope with the big, bad world.
Styling
The cute styling helps it to stand out, but it lacks much in the way of sportscar machismo - and dinky proportions make it look like a toy from some angles.
Handling
Cornering responses are impressively keen and it stays predictable as the low limits approach, but its not a match for more conventional roadster rivals.
Comfort
Only the very small need apply. The cabin feels cramped, ride quality is bumpy over poor surfaces and refinement is non-existent over about 65 mph.
Quality
As solidly constructed as you would expect a Daihatsu to be. Some of the cabin switchgear feels a bit low-rent, but the folding hardtop is a triumph of miniaturisation.
Performance
Its great fun to thrash the tiny little engine to within an inch of its life - but acceleration is never better than barely adequate.
Roominess
The tiny, cramped cockpit must be about the smallest of any car on sale in Britain when the roof is up. The boot capacity is very limited, too.
Costs
Good on fuel and with respectable insurance costs but service intervals are short and depreciation is fairly sharp.
Value
Britains cheapest roadster - but only the most dedicated minimalists will be happy with its small size and poor performance.
Stereo
The stereo gives decent sound with the roof up but struggles with wind noise when its down. Satnav unavailable.
