When wanting to own a car, the first thing to look at is the advantages that the car brings. The same goes for wanting to buy a classic car like the Daihatsu Charade. Glancing at the Daihatsu Charade can certainly be a consideration to add a classic car to your garage.

This tiny car is still quite popular even though it is over 20 years old—there are even variants that are nearly 40 years old. Initially, Daihatsu was not interested in making sedan types in its car lineup for its consumers. However, everything changed when the market demand for hatchback sedans was very high in Japan and other Asian countries at that time.

Moreover, Daihatsu Charade also has many variants marketed in Indonesia. This car first entered Indonesia in the late 1970s. The advantage of the Daihatsu Charade is the various updates that have occurred over time, from turbo engine variants to facelifts until the early 90s. Let's take a look at the advantages of the Daihatsu Charade below!

Good engine performance

The early variant of the Daihatsu Charade comes with a 1,000 cc engine with four-speed transmission. This engine is still very suitable to be paired with the tiny body of the Charade, which weighs no more than 800 kg. This makes the car still have good acceleration.

Not to mention if you choose the Daihatsu Charade variant that has a turbo engine in it. The younger variant, the Daihatsu Charade Winner, even comes with a 1,300 cc engine that can produce power up to 4,000 rpm. Surely, that car can go even faster when driven.

Fuel efficient

Not only is its performance impressive, but this car is also fuel-efficient. The 1,300 cc engine carried by the Daihatsu Charade Winner already uses 4 cylinders with 16 valves in the same line. If the engine maintenance is still good, this classic car is still a choice in the present day. If used normally, you won't need to stop too often at gas stations to refuel.

Easy maintenance

One reason the Daihatsu Charade has survived until now is its very easy maintenance. Cleaning the engine and changing the oil regularly can keep its performance in check. Not only is there ease to be gained, but this car also won't drain your wallet. The service and maintenance costs are considered very cheap for a classic car.

Easily available spare parts

Daihatsu still provides various spare parts for the younger series of Charade. The prices offered are also relatively affordable. The availability of spare parts is easy to find, so you don't need to hesitate if you want to own this car. Just one or two touches, and the performance brought decades ago can be felt again.

Affordable price

One advantage of the Daihatsu Charade that has lasted until now is its very affordable price. This car is priced at around Rp13—Rp15 million. Usually, older cars have prices like that. The price may be affordable, but it seems like a lot needs to be done to regain its performance.

On the other hand, a well-maintained Daihatsu Charade has a higher price. You may need to dig into your pockets up to Rp70 million to acquire it. However, that car can be used immediately without hassle.

Those are the advantages of the Daihatsu Charade that have lasted until now. Are you interested in owning one of its units?
