Overall rating 5/5

Performance Running costs Comfort Reliability Space Practicality

Used Daihatsu Materia

Known for its distinctive boxy style and roomy cabin, the Daihatsu Materia offers more room than many larger hatchbacks and competitors like the Toyota Yaris or Honda Jazz. Its tall, squared-off design maximises visibility and cabin comfort, with a flat floor that maximises usable space. Solidly built, it features a lively engine ideal for town driving and some decent standard equipment, making it a sound choice for those wanting low running costs without compromising on personality.

Pros

Huge cabin for its length
Solid build
Lively engine

Cons

Styling won’t suit everyone
Noticeable road noise at speed
Few luxury features
