I have a daihatsu charade from 1990, its the standard 1 liter 3 cilinder charade. It does have a story she is 33 years old and at this moment she has about 19200km on her, we got her for free in 2020 with only 1600km on it. I love driving in it and she gets used daily, will cherish her forever and make sure she stays in tip top condition.
I remember these back in the day. I think they were one of the fastest 0-60 in its day of all the hot hatches. I could never find one back then let alone now. This the most underrated of all the hatches.
I had one and the Suzuki swift gti 1.3 TWIN CAM
One on autotrader right now
Bit slower than a 5GT Turbo phase 1 but the Charade use to actually start and also not stall for no reason in 2nd gear and not start for 10 minutes.
@@SwiftgtiGranTurismoSport 2 my mates had gtti I had a white swift gti wasn’t as fast but the engine was one of the best sounding
The car is soo underrated that I recalled myself while sitting on the toilet seat "there was a cool guy car in my childhood called charade gti, where are they now" and then I searched TH-cam to find this review on top. 😁😁
cool little feature for the Daihatsu lovers!! nice for the GTti to get some TH-cam love and recognition it deserves :D
I just finished refueling my 1990 Daihatsu Charade SE hatchback on my drive home from work. I bought it in February 2015 in Woodbridge, Virginia with 27,500 original miles on it and drove it home with my dad to the Kansas City, Missouri Metro area. It now has only 46,485 original miles (74,810 km) on the 1.0L EFI (non-turbo). My parents, sister, and I have owned six of these over the years since Daihatsu brought them into the U.S. in 1988 until 1992. The coolest one my Dad got ahold of was from an U.S. Air Force officer who'd shipped his Daihatsu Charade GT from Australia back to the U.S.A. and my Dad happened to purchase it. That little car would burn the tires/tyres off the front end through the first four gears and finally hook up in 4th, sometimes 5th gear. I love my little Daihatsu Charade! Wish I could share a picture with y'all.
My first car was a 92 charade. It was painted metallic green, low rider...truly a chic magnet 😂
Had a 91" myself in Red, frightening thinking it was 30 years ago when I was a whipper snapper. Absolutely loved it & I had it breathed on so it made 140bhp which I'm afraid was a little too much for the poor engine with my heavy foot. The local boy racers had the usual Fords, Swift's, Pugs, Vtec's & R5's etc but I was the only one with a GTti as they were rare as rocking horse even in the early 90's. So rare in fact that the dealer I bought it from offered me more than I paid him 2 years earlier when I went in for a chat one day hehe.
R5's were supposed to be the one to get, but even those local to me were fodder for my little tweaked Charade which was no mean feat. So many happy days until I blew the head gasket at an indicated 135mph (down a hill with a tailwind lol) & sneakliy moved it on in part ex for a Carlton GSi 24v - I'd grown up a little lol.
Always said I'd get a GTti again but impossible to find a decent one so I gave up many years ago.
Sound crazy
in malaysia, we still have plenty of this charades. very cool little hot hatch, especially the espri detomaso
I loved the fact these were only 1.0 Turbo’s back in the day. Now there’s loads eg Ecoboosts etc so it’s not so different. Great video.
12V was very rare back then also....
These had 0-60 at 7.7 seconds. Top end of around 120 ish.....
@@SwiftgtiGranTurismoSport I saw an indicated 125 on mine on the way to Torquay on the M5 naughty naughty lol.
Had one of the first into the UK with steel wheels. I was about 21 at the time. Traded it in for a CRX VETEC and eight years later traded the CRX for M1 Lotus Elise 111S that I still have. Charade was huge fun. The CRX capable of going round corners at speeds much faster than I ever realised until I overcooked it one day and sailed round a 90 degree bend with no drama. Elise proved tricky for someone used to front wheel drive!!! Also had Suzuki Ignis Sport.
So many lives claimed by this death trap back in the 90s in my country. I love them!
Its like a honda city turbo, mixed with a 90s clio and civic, wicked!!
I owned a white one back in 2005, had it a year and the rareness was one thing I loved about it plus the noise. I ended up selling it for an Almera Gti. What a mistake, I’ve always regretted selling it
Not seen one for years! My sister had one when I had a R5 GTT little between them on the back B roads Northampton to Cambridge. That engine was years ahead of the time
I had 2 of these in the 90s, first one I wrote off within 12 days the second I enjoyed a little bit more before selling on, absolutely loved them
Bought one in 1991, my first new car, cost £8,600, should have kept it but traded it in for the 1.6GSXi. Thanks for reviving the memories.
I owned one of these a long time ago, it was a little weapon. Hilarious fun and wasn't that thirsty if you drove it sensibly. Mine had 120 BHP and could easily light up the front wheels.
I had 2 of these in my teenager years, wish I kept them :( fantastic little run about and being so light it felt quite rapid on the B roads
I have two of these in my garage. One of my favourite cars of all time.
Was lucky to own one of these in the 90's. Wish I'd kept hold of it :)
I'm keeping one of these since 2016, well, not a GTti but G102 which is 1.3 4 pot lump. Only 10HP less but sounds better than a 3 pot imho and definitely more reliable and easier to maintain. Finding parts for them is a pain in the arse now, have to look worldwide, as there are still some left in Australia or Malaysia, even went to Germany to pick up a spare bumpers, lowering springs and few other bits lol.
Worth keeping as it have solid chassis, almost no rust at all.
Once it's fully done I'll feature it in a a video for sure.
Fun fact. I have a G102 rn. And it is as cool as the video!
Reddened a few faces in mine was a proper pocket rocket 🚀👌🤣
my first and second love of my love !!! 1988 / 1998 rip 🤧🤧😩😫
I had a 1st generation Suzuki Swift GTi from new. Once I sold that I had a Daihatsu Charade GTti for around 4 years. It was a pretty quick car too. Not quite as quick as the Renault 5 turbo. Mine was a white one. I sold it for £1500 if I remember.
Great video i also have a gtti and I love it and gonna be giving it the full works ;)
I have been a passenger in one of these years ago, such a fun car! And pretty quick because it's so light. Funny detail is the light on the dash between the dials that goes on when the turbo is producing boost. Rust is a killer for these, shame really! And also very reliable.
Awesome video. Old cars are much more interesting than new supercars.
I was born in the 70s, I can remember the charade gt-ti and the Suzuki swift gti, uno turbo ie, polo g40. Fast cars in there day plus very light, iv got a 208 1.2 turbo gtline at 1070 kgs with 160 bhp and 220 ibft, the charade weighed 850 kgs. 7.9 0-60 and 115 mph was pretty fast back then. Have to say though I loved the uno turbo ie. great car.👍
I had one in 1988 white, they actually claimed 7.7 secs to 60, 99bhp doesn't sound a lot but my god did it feel fast, a little green turbo light used to light up on the dash and whoosh of it went I'm 66 now but it was one of my favourite cars and I have had them all R5 Gt turbo Toyota starlet gt turbo etc etc loved the Daihatsu wish I still had it.
Wow what a cool blast from the past I always loved them and also the suzuki swift gti very similar looking 😀
Keep the retro vids coming mate
Awesome vid Jamie 😎 my dad owned one of these in 1999 was running 126bhp. Such a rare motor these days I’m still hunting for one now
Hi I’ve got one for sake mint been in garage 15 years £9999
I remember one of these in Dublin back in the day always wanted one. epic video
i had a lot of them in my live... 5 or 6... and after 8 Years without one... i bought one... last week :-)
This should be very interesting - i had a charade 1.3 gti tried to get one of these but never could. nice find
I owned one when I was 16 back in 2001. Wish I never sold it :(
Wanted one of these so bad when I was younger but they were just at the point of getting expensive and rare again,
We had loads of these in Ireland when I was a kid brings back memories
Found a Cuore L701 for my first car and would love to find some auld lads who had some of these to maybe see if the little 1 liter 3 cylinder EJ-DE could be made into a EJ-DET, if you get me 😎
@@timXJ220 Are there any Daihatsu fan meet-ups in Ireland? I have an Avanzato in Belfast.
@@petermurphy5302 would love to know, will head to the next 'Japfest' anyway 🚀
Love the GTTI always
I had one here in NZ, stripped the back seats out 2nd gear 80 and 3rd gear almost 180.. love it..
I am in the process now of restoring a white 1 with 50k on it that a imported to the uk from jersey
Its all welded up now and in process of prep for paint
Cant not wait
I think I spotted a post about that. I was gutted for you about the bonnet mishap, if that's the same car but sounds like you're sorted now!
E929WVU Was mine and I owned it in 1993 and it was in silver, had a traffic light race against a 1.6 Orion Ghia injection, all he saw was my back end 😂
Been in one sick little town car...no top end but when that light comes on boooom gone lol beautiful little engine also
The regular versions of this car is common in my country, and it’s one of my favorite cars that my dad owned back in a day.
Actually saw one of these the other day on the road. As quick as a 205gti 1.9 . Great fun
🤝🏾🍾old school 😎
Used to be a pink one in the area I live when I was a kid sounded nice
I always remember having a play with a local one in my AX GT in the middle 90s and always got smoked by it. But what fun.
I drove this car many yrs ago and tried buying it 4yrs ago I love them
i have two of them and they are f awesome from 0-60 in 7.2s and the sound 😩😩😩🤤
We still have hundreds of these running in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Samin 30k lang hahaha
a chip back in the day use to take these from 99bhp to 150bhp. the group N rally cars had those
I had a Gold colour 900 cc 3 cylinder base model. Ice cold AC in Florida heat and good speed to pull out in traffic. Got a speeding ticket in it after owning a 300zx and never getting a ticket. Thanx for the memories.
I have one of these and just need the engine loom and cb80 ecu
I think Jamie missed the point about this car it's not just about it's rarity there are many other amazing aspects to this car
I owned two the one a rebuilt H426GKE wish a still had it now 😢
One of the best cars I've ever owned. Hoping to find one again in the future🥹
Where I park my cars there’s one sitting there white aswell but been told owner won’t sell sadly it’s in a state
A friend had a red one that was cover featured for banzai
I owned one...fun as hell. It ripped!
In our family we have owned 3 of theese, first my uncle owned 1 from brand new in white when first released in the UK, then my brother owned a silver E reg and then me and my brother bought a white J reg which we sold on due that it needed to much work as the the floor was rotted out. Amazing fun car and I so whish I had enough money to own another. The only one I found in the UK is a red G reg left hand drive for £9000.There are a few for sale I noticed in Italy tho. 😁
Back on 1998 was my first car and i love it very mutch... A tiny great car
Lovely car
they were great little cars my mate had one they were so flat in the corners too it was an epic little car
Loved mine. J921HJR Really regret selling it. Had 2x12 CV subs from K&M Acustics in Wigan in the boot with a full custom build Phonix Gold and Hyphonics Amps. 130bhp from RE Performace in Bury totally reliable (apart from killing clutches) and so much fun. Really do regret selling it.
I had 3 GTti's back in the early 2000s. Stupid me i sold them all. 2 slightly modified GTti's with Koni*H&R suspension and around 120hp and 1 very rare widebody "Flash GTti" with roughly 140hp. I wish i would have kept them. Pure and simple driving experience, no electronic, no ABS.
Any of using g101s how is it?
Nostalgic hero in Asia
Love these little cars there currently 9 on the road and 48 sorn
my mom had a non turbo 3spd auto...most fuel efficient car i ever came across, better than the 2000 suzuki alto i had. and the alto was great
Hey ive just bought one of these...to restore...any advice greatly appreciated!!.
a mate had one and boosted it stupid was hilarious . red hot glowing turbo
Looking at grabbing a nicely priced YRV as my first car. I'd looked at everything and stumbled on one. Are parts going to be so hard to get it's not worth a buy does anyone know?
Little 3cyl turbo sounds like a baby V6. A mini 3000GT Twin Turbo or something similar.
I saw a basemodel but it looks funny like e90 corolla plush toy, so cute looking.
Yo tengo la versión sencilla, también 993 pero sin turbo, es muy buen auto, ya no consigo las piezas pero aun funciona, me gustaría alguna vez conducir un GTti.
There is a red one still on the roads in Swindon 👍
These thing's back in the day awesome rapid for what it is
They were quicker than most gti cars. The suzuki swift gti twin cam very similar in performance too. I had both of these sir.
Yeah swift gti that a car pity never got to ride in one
Nice...👍
Im currently doing one up, probably the highest spec one in the uk
These used to be everywhere in Pakistan back in the day, last I went in 2017 very rare to find one
I'm in Pakistan right now not seen one yet
I got one and I know where a bunch are, good rides
My dad had one back in the day turbo went on it and it was slow as.... but great car with the turbo back then
Over here on Ireland I seen a few pop up for sale about 10 years ago. They were gng for peanuts too,, be worth serious money now if u had one
I love this car my uncle has 3 GTti and 1 Charade GTti Flash
Love Daihatsu’s! Makes me miss my little 1.3 stanced copen!
I had one back in the 90s was very fast
I not long sold my mint 1 owner from new one and use dot own the ex works rally car. Really underrated cars and they do sounds mega with a decent exhuast system on. Think I've had about 5 of these car. They really do drive well and make you smile like a cheshire cat. Neaest thing this it I've driven is a Mini Cooper S R53.
Would love to own another, I had one back in the early 90's with the ole Remus exhaust! Let me know if it ever comes up for sale!
How's your gti 106 getting on ?
My dad had the 1.3 1989 5 door Charade between 1993 and 1999.
i just saw one parked in a barn, just sitting there, not sure if it was a gti, it was a charade turbo, with some plastic things on the side of the rear window.
never seen one in my life, i have seen a handful of charades but not one original turbo
I had a rapid one of these way back when I had hair
There are a lot of these charades in pakistan still today. And its popular in the youngsters till today. A small fast car.
I had the please of owning on of these. What a car. But it was the 1.3 16v.
Come do a video on my second gen 1985 charade turbo it's the only one in the UK 😁
I owned one from new in 1989. A true wolf in sheep's clothing. When doing a traffic light Grand Prix I would leave the Golf Gti's and XR3i's for dead. Only downside? Oil change every 3,000 miles. I still miss it.
3rd gen Daihatsu Charades are my favorite cars 👍
Yup..my first car 25years ago..🎉
I had a Silver one. Mate had an Astra GTE at the time and it used to kill it.
A friend has a base model in a garage. Been there for YEARS! I have been trying to talk him out of it for YEARS too, lol.. He says one day this little car might be worth something..
They're rare but the base models are always gonna be worthless. Trust me i own one
Raced one in a 300hp 3 door cosworth, I was impressed full stop.
I had one and once followed a friend in his Cosworth Sierra. I managed to nearly keep up with him. He told me that he was surprised how quick the little Gtti was.
Most things are as fast up to 90ish at that point cossi still pulled like a train to 140
I nearly got one , not to long ago there was a half tidy one on ebay fetched about 2k I think. Was very tempted.
