USED Daihatsu YRV Hatchback (01 - 05)

What Car? says

2 out of 5 stars

For The YRV offers a surprising amount of style and practicality for not very much cash

Against Refinement, ride and handling are woeful; the Turbo models are just silly

Verdict It's a decent runaround that's easy to drive, if not very entertaining.

Go for… Radical 2

Avoid… Turbo models

1. The car's tall body provides excellent head- and legroom in any of the four seats
2. The standard 1.3-litre engine is punchy and frugal. Don't bother with the turbo version
3. The boot is small, but a sliding rear seat means that it's easily extendable
4. The steering is sloppy and needs too much arm twirling
5. The ride is lumpy, and the car runs out of grip easily in corners
