The DAIHATSU SIRION (1998-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.0+ is a small five-door city car, designed for easy everyday motoring rather than big-car space. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable, practical hatchbacks, offering a straightforward alternative to popular small cars such as the Toyota Yaris and Suzuki Alto. mycarcheck.com has recorded just seven look-ups covering four different VINs, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a complete picture. Within that sample, the average private-sale valuation was £300, recorded mileage averaged 63,000 miles, and annual mileage 3,000. Cars had around 3.6 previous keepers on average, worth checking against each car’s history. With its compact size, five doors and 1.0-litre-plus engines, the Sirion suits town trips, parking in spaces and everyday commuting; it can make sense for a first-time driver or a household. It is less roomy and refined than newer rivals, but its straightforward character is its appeal.
