The DAIHATSU SIRION (2005-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.5 102 SX+ is a compact, five-door small hatchback, sitting between a city car and a supermini in the UK used-car market. Its upright shape and manageable size make it easy to park, while five doors give it more everyday practicality than many tiny town cars. The 1.5-litre engine gives the Sirion more willing performance than many entry-level small hatchbacks, making it suited to urban trips, commuting and occasional longer journeys. It can work well for a first-time driver, a couple or a small household wanting an affordable, straightforward runabout. Against rivals such as the Toyota Yaris and Nissan Micra, it is a less common choice, with a roomy, practical feel and a distinctive, cheerful design. mycarcheck.com records one check and one VIN: average private-sale value £1,100, mileage 131,000 miles, annual mileage 5,000 miles and seven previous keepers.
