Already in 1980 came the first Daihatsu Cuore on the market. Total built by the Japanese more than five million copies. Meanwhile, Cuore new, don’t get it anymore, but second hand copies are still to be found.

It is now the seventh generation of Cuore and there were a total of more than five million copies were built. Also in the Netherlands there were plenty of Cuores sold, but still pulled Daihatsu in 2013 back from the Dutch market.
Lots of choice, there is not the Cuore. There was just one variant, but choice of a manual or automatic gearbox.

Competition

• Toyota Aygo
• Fiat Panda
• Kia Picanto

Offer used cars

• This generation Daihatsu Cuore are over 100 copies on the Marketplace.
• The Cuore is with only one engine provided: a three-cylinder petrol.
• Only 6% of the offer has an automatic gearbox.
• Prices start a little over 2,000 euros.
• Maximum price of 8,000 euros.
• Most offer between 3,500 and 5,000 euros.

Pros

• Also, in practice, economical, 1 to 20 is feasible.
• Relatively spacious for its class, especially in the back seat.
• The more luxurious Premium has an adjustable back seat.
• Due to lower weight but also lower MRB than competition.

Issues

• The braking system. The brakes are relatively weak and wear out also quickly.
• Laden are the driving characteristics of the Cuore much less good.
• No standard ESP (Electronic Stability Program). This is an active driving safety system that the driver supports it, if the vehicle threatens to skid: for example, in the event of sudden movement or a smooth surface. Most of the smaller cars from these years have not, but in modern smaller cars is available.
• A Cuore is not snelwegmonster: the relatively short fifth gear makes for more noise and more power consumption. Moreover, this generation Cuore relatively a lot of crosswind.
• Understeer and thus high tyre wear on the front.
• Lighting is often broken, and frequently both headlights at the same time. It is not a big problem, but may lead to confusion that there is another greater problem.
• The outlet has a short lifespan, that is also due to that Cuores often for small pieces to be used. The rear silencer is sometimes but two years.
• The water pump already after 3 years of leaks. This leads to koelvloeistofverbruik. Not every driver watch and if the coolant once on, the engine warm-up with the necessary damage.
• The defroster window is poor, especially on the passenger side. Daihatsu has a modification for, so make sure that has already been carried out. Reason is that in Japan the left is driven.
• Check anyway the air conditioning for proper operation. There are some known cases of leaks and also rust on the pipes low-cost. That last is warranty work.
• Squeaky clutch pedal: this is caused by the clutch and could, in principle, under the warranty must be addressed.
• A well-known or infamous dashboardrammel is often caused by a loose clip behind the air filter on the bulkhead in the engine compartment.
• A pulsation while driving is often caused by the nokkenasversteller. Good oil to use, and in time refresh keeps that problem in check.
