The Daihatsu Sirion is a small hatchback with a practical focus and a trustworthy reputation. It’s especially popular with drivers who need a city-friendly car that won’t break the bank, but still offers more space inside than you’d expect. The second generation (2005–2010) forms the bulk of the used Sirion market, offering sharper styling, improved handling (thanks to shared underpinnings with the 2005 Toyota Yaris) and standout value. Earlier models (1998–2005) were celebrated for low running costs and quirky looks, but lacked some of the quality and comfort of their rivals. The 2005–2010 Sirion stepped up with standard kit like air conditioning, electric windows and a practical five-door layout. Compared with supermini alternatives like the Suzuki Swift or Hyundai Getz, the Sirion holds its own on space, efficiency and all-round fuss-free driving. In fact, its dimensions are more in line with what the rest of the market labels a city car. Our favourite features of this sensible, straight-talking car? Economical petrol engines, a roomy interior for its class and user-friendly controls.
