The DAIHATSU SIRION (1998-05) is a compact hatchback designed for easy everyday motoring, sitting among the UK’s small city cars. Its upright shape and short length make parking and tight streets less daunting, while the cabin offers more useful space than its modest footprint suggests. It’s a straightforward alternative to a Nissan Micra or Toyota Yaris. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 208 checks across 124 distinct Sirion VINs, giving a useful snapshot of cars being researched. The average recorded private-sale value is £600, and average latest mileage is 74,000 miles; annual mileage averages 4,000. These figures describe the checked vehicles, not a guarantee of condition or today’s market price. With modest running costs and simple, practical character, it suits first-time drivers, commuters and couples wanting an affordable second car. It is best for shorter journeys rather than carrying a large family. The Sirion’s friendly, uncomplicated appeal makes it a sensible small-car choice.
