Used Daihatsu Copen (2004 - 2010) Review Review by David Ross on 05 Jul 2007 Last Updated: 07 Mar 2013 3.5 The funky little Copen is one of the most affordable small convertibles around and great fun to drive too. Unusually for a car this small it features a metal-folding roof rather than a fabric hood, which means it is relatively quiet on the move and well-insulated from cold weather. Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery Great fun to drive, metal folding roof, cheeky styling, economical engines Basic and dated interior, cramped driving position, tiny boot New price range: £12,128 - £13,370 Used price range: £998 - £4,392 View all used prices Summary Parkers Rating: 3.5 out of 5 The funky little Copen is one of the most affordable small convertibles around and great fun to drive too. Unusually for a car this small it features a metal-folding roof rather than a fabric hood, which means it is relatively quiet on the move and well-insulated from cold weather. It's diminutive dimensions make it easy to drive and a doddle to park in town, but the downside is a cramped cabin and virtually no boot space when the roof is down.The original engine was a 0.7-litre turbo but this was replaced in early 2007 by a more powerful 1.3-litre which is also more economical.
