Me want one now, bet they are fun little ars :)

er cars (wouldnt let me edit message :( )

Daihatu make the best engines at in small sizes bar none. The CB8-0 in the GTti was and still is an amazing engine and the first car to give 100bhp per litre, remeber that.

Its its anything like a normal Daihahstu engine you'll be able to crank up ther boost to give you well over 120bhp and still be reliable and give a huge perfomance increase. I think its the same engine or similar to the one in the Mira TRxx but could be wrong.

I hope they do very well with this car as they deserve to for being so brave and going into a releatively new market.

I'm hoping to test drive one at some stage and will let you know the outcome. I know they are still thinn on the ground as Auto Express contacted me to see if I knew of one in the UK as I run the Charade GTti Owners Club.

Looks like an awesome little motor, and I was really surprised when they showed the interior on TG - it looked very well put together! One for the girlfriend though, I think...

IIRC when I saw it @ the motor show the electric roof had broken:D
Nice wee car though

Reminds me of a Suzi Cappuccino, the roof is cool :)

I have a TRXX R4 which has a slightly different engine, it has a 659cc 4 cyl 16v turbo putting out 115 bhp (when put back together that is). Should be a flying machine as it only weighs 650kg :)

Just looked at the Daihatsu site maybe time to swap a 659 for a 659, engine appears to be an update of my TRXX and should still be very tunable.

Scooby Doo, you should bring your TRXX to JAE to help fill up my Daihatsu stand !

Got one TRXX on there so far, hoping to get a few others.
