Daihatsu COO Cars
The Daihatsu COO is a compact hatchback designed for city driving. Its small size and tight turning radius make it an ideal choice for navigating through Australia's crowded streets and parking spaces. With a length of just over 3.4 meters and a height of just under 1.5 meters, the COO is small enough to easily maneuver in traffic, while still providing enough space for passengers.
Under the hood, the COO features a 1-liter engine that produces up to 70 horsepower. This may not sound like much power, but in such a lightweight car it's more than enough to provide decent acceleration and nimble handling on Australia's roads. The car comes with either a manual or automatic transmission, so drivers can choose whichever suits their driving style.
Despite its compact size, the COO still manages to pack in plenty of features that are useful for Australian drivers. For example, air conditioning comes as standard on all models, which is essential during hot Australian summers. Additionally, there's an optional satellite navigation system available for those who frequently travel to new areas.
Safety is also an important consideration for drivers in Australia. Fortunately, the COO has been designed with safety in mind, with features like ABS brakes and airbags coming standard across all trim levels. Plus, thanks to its diminutive size and excellent visibility, it's easier to spot hazards on the road ahead.
One thing that might put some buyers off is the fact that Daihatsu pulled out of the Australian market back in 2005 - meaning there are fewer dealerships offering support or spare parts locally compared to other brands on the market today. However there are third-party dealerships who specialize specifically in Daihatsu parts & servicing should anything go wrong - particularly important given that regular servicing of small vehicles can help them maintain good condition and avoid any issues before they become problems.
Overall, if you're looking for an efficient and practical hatchback for city driving around Australia then it's definitely worth considering the Daihatsu COO - especially if you're someone who values economy and agility over outright power and luxury.
