    I recently saw one or two of these cars on the road. All called Perrodua. They are a malaysian built Daihatsu Cuore. I dont see the prices for them on any Irish car magazine or newspaper. Neither could I find any dealers.

    They are the worst rubbish imaginable. Worse than anything Daewoo ever made and that is saying something...

    The perodua myvi is a Daihatsu Sirion using toyota technology. It is a good car.

    Their older cars are Daihatsu hand-me-downs.

    ok thanks for that, didnt see any break down on the road yet.... but have seen a lot of them around. Anyway Daihatsu's are badged engineered Toyota's with the exception of the Copen. Im also wondering if Proton are re-entering the Irish market?

    He did, and the video is here. A priceless vid, IMHO.
