Daihatsu for me We have a Copen (mine really) and a Sirion (more the wife's) so for most everyday use it's the sirion, goes well for a 1 litre, cheap road tax, great economy, loads of goodies, and a really big little car.
Other car My wife & I have 3 cars. 1) Daihatsu Terios 03/2007 Silver S28 2) Kia Sortage III 2.0 crdi 09/2011 Black 3) Copen 1298 Silver S28 06/2007 buy 22/06/2012
We've got a Kia Sportage too. Sold a beautiful BMW in order to get my Copen - I wanted it as soon as I saw it! have taken me and my mother-in-law to Holland in the Copen! 2 lots of luggage, 2 adults, lots of vacu-sack space-saver bags!!
too many hi all besides the copen,wife drives a suzuki sx4,i drive a mitsubishi verada,copen for the weekend,mini clubman gt stored away as well as a corolla ke35.
I own two cars. I also own an Audi 3.0 TDi Avant. I love that car, but my baby Copen is the most fun I've had on wheels in 32 years of driving!
I have a skoda superb 4x4. Totally different animal but the copen is more fun and more of a talking point.
"copen should defo only be a second car." Copen is main car and driven pretty much every day because: 1) it's fun 2) it's reasonably cheap to run 3) I love driving it 4) it's got cheeky/cute character 5) it's fun IMHO it would be a shame only to use it as a second car.
The Copen is too rare to be used everyday in my opinion. This car will be future collectors car. I drive about 4000km/year. I just bought a new Honda Civic 2,2 to trash in everyday use
I have a Kia Sorento 2.5 diesel 4x4 also, but since my hubby bought me the Copen as a surprise I drive her nearly every day, the Kia gets used for towing our caravan and trips to Homebase etc. I have had eight full bags of shopping in the boot and if the weather is good I put my groceries in the front passenger seat and footwell and ave the top down. I get looks, waves and comments each time I go out in "Babe" but have never seen another Copen whilst out in mine. I guess Pikachou is close to me I keep looking for her!!
I'm the same as you. I drive my Copen every day unless I've been somewhere like Ikea in which case I use the Avensis. It surprised me too how much you can get in the boot, and I too put all my stuff in the passenger seat and have the roof down so I look cool if I can I saw my first Copen when I was driving mine today! Very exciting.
My other cars We have a BMW series 1 sport a VW polo Oh & of course our Daewoo Nubira which we keep in Bulgaria
Other car Hi, My main car is a Saab 9-3 Vector, mainly used for work and long motorway journeys when we need the extra boot space. I love driving my Copen though as its nippy, manual (my saab's Auto), and it's such a cool car just to be seen in. Especially with the roof down.
Main car: a Mitsubishi outlander for those shopping trips and the winter. 2nd car: the copen, aka Noddy. For those times that I want a smile on my face.
Most recent addition is a 2013 vw beetle 1.4 design--very nice to drive..... we also have a 2011 vauxhall agila 1.2 great to get me to work, the copen is used when it's sunny and warm and dry. At the moment she's being restored........lot's of rust to get rid of:-((
