The Daihatsu Sirion is a clever compact hatch that earned a loyal following in Australia thanks to its easy driving manners, efficient engines and surprisingly roomy cabin. Sold across multiple generations, the Sirion was designed for city life, with light steering, a tight turning circle and excellent visibility making it ideal for commuting, parking and weekend errands. Despite its small footprint, the Sirion offered practical five door access, flexible seating and dependable Japanese engineering, helping it stand out as a smart alternative to larger, thirstier small cars.

One of the Sirion’s most interesting features was its focus on low running costs without feeling basic. Later models shared engineering links with Toyota, adding to their reputation for reliability and parts availability. Some versions were fitted with lively three cylinder or four cylinder engines, giving the car a cheerful character that matched its compact size. Overseas, the Sirion also appeared under different names, including the Toyota Passo and Perodua Myvi, with the Myvi becoming a major success in Malaysia and a genuine cultural icon as one of the country’s best selling cars.

From service items such as filters, spark plugs, brake pads and wiper blades to batteries, suspension components, oils and car care products, the Sirion remains an affordable and rewarding vehicle to look after.
