Prices can vary from time to time and dealer to dealer.
But Daihatsu may have the answer for the younger brigade at a price that won't break the bank. The Japanese small car specialist has taken the original Sirion recipe and spiced it up considerably with a GTVi version. GTVi has a higher initial price than other small cars but benefits from a healthy equipment list which includes dual airbags, anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, CD player and alloy wheels. Also standard is metallic paint, an engine immobiliser, remote releases, central locking, body kit, sports steering wheel and front fog lights. Retained values are a bit of a risk with the base Sirion suffering large first year drops, but the warranty is industry standard and insurance costs are surprisingly affordable.
