The Daihatsu Copen is a two-seater roadster that was produced by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu from 2002 to 2012. It is known for its lightweight, compact design and its distinctive, sporty styling. The Copen was designed to appeal to a younger demographic looking for an affordable and fun-to-drive vehicle. It features a unique retractable hardtop roof, which allows for open-air driving on sunny days while still offering protection from the elements when needed. The Copen was available in a variety of bright and colorful paint schemes, further bolstering its appeal to the target market. The Copen was powered by a 660 cc three-cylinder engine, initially mated to a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic. In 2006, a five-speed automatic was added to the options. Though the Copen was only powered by a small engine, its lightweight design and short wheelbase gave it a surprisingly peppy performance. The Daihatsu Copen gained a reputation for its reliability and its fun factor. The combination of a lightweight chassis, a small but spirited engine, and a comfortable, sporty interior made it a popular car among enthusiasts. It was highly praised for its driving dynamics, agile handling, and its overall appeal as a stylish and fun-to-drive vehicle. The Copen was also appreciated for its practicality, offering a surprising amount of cargo space for a two-seater roadster. The Copen was not originally intended for export, but it gained popularity outside of Japan due to its unique design and fun-to-drive nature. A limited number of Copen models were imported to the United Kingdom, with a couple of models being specially imported to other countries. Despite its limited production numbers and availability, the Daihatsu Copen remains a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking a small, stylish, and affordable roadster. The Copen has gained a dedicated following and has become a cult classic in the world of small cars.
