Arise, Sir Ion
Always with an eye for a bargain, I noticed a 2007, 56 reg Daihatsu Sirion 1.3SX with 18,000 miles on the clock, advertised for £4,295. Is this too good to be true? Are there any major potential problems to be wary of?

Not bad. Fairly flimsy body, but excellent Yaris chain cam engine, slightly more powerful than in the Yaris, and solid 5-speed manual transmission. Secretly, a very good car. Tony Dron had one.

Decent small hatchback based on a Toyota Yaris. Reliable and robust. Strong 1.3 engine. Good value for money.
