The Daihatsu Copen is a two-seater roadster produced by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu from 2002 to 2012. It was designed as a fun and affordable entry point into the open-top sports car market, drawing inspiration from classic British roadsters like the MG Midget and Austin-Healey Sprite. The Copen's diminutive size, lightweight construction, and rear-wheel-drive layout contributed to its agile handling and engaging driving experience.
Under the hood, the Copen was powered by a peppy 660cc three-cylinder petrol engine, offering a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. A unique selling point of the Copen was its customizable body panels, with a wide range of colors and accessories available for owners to personalize their cars. This allowed for a high level of personalization, appealing to both those seeking a factory-fresh look and those who wanted to inject their own style. Despite its small size, the Copen offered surprisingly practical features, including a fold-down rear bench that could be used for additional storage. Although production ceased in 2012, the Copen remains a highly sought-after vehicle among enthusiasts, known for its charming character, affordability, and ease of maintenance.
