    What do people think of the Daihatsu Materia?

    http://www.daihatsu.co.uk/materia/

    Anyone know anyone with one, or what they are like to own, drive etc
    I myself think its a pretty cool looking car but unfortunately daihatsu ireland don't seem to sell it.
    Its sort of in the nissan cube, kia soul league
    You can get it in the UK,
    Would be tempted to import a second hand one but i suppose you really need to test drive it first........

    any of the road tests i read when it was launched weren't exactly full of praise to be honest. Top gear did a test and it was basically a complete p1ss take. For your money you could do an awful lot better. Its not in any way cool looking imo. If you want something quirky the nissan cube would be miles better!

    If you want something quirky then maybe a Nissan Cube would be better:

    They can be sourced in the UK too:

    This is essentially a Toyota bB. Fair play to Daihatsu for having the nuts to sell it in Europe!

    I like the Cube but its just a bit too Postman Pat like!

    There are actually 3 of them for sale on carzone.

    The only bad thing I saw was that some people mightn't like it. not a comprehensive review at all.
