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.
