It's looks like the 206CC.
Have'nt seen too many Copens around Singapore.Saw it just once.
I'm not too sure about the specs though.How is it? -
I think it's great! Corner's with hardly any roll, but ride's rather stiff as a result. In spite of it's small engine, it's rather zippy, thanks to the turbocharger. I've taken it to 135 (where the speed limiter cuts in -- JDM rule for K-class cars) and it overtakes perfectly
Parking's great too, as it's small. The hardtop takes 20 secs to fold, and the car gets plenty of attention!
As for the factory specs, here's what it is:
- 660cc, turbocharged, 4-cylinder DOHC 16 valve, 8500rpm redline
- 4 speed auto with tiptronic function
- ABS, EDB
- Dual airbags
- Electric hard top
- Aluminium bonnet, roof, and bootlid
- Twin exhausts
- Fog lamps
- Electric boot release with assisted closing
Toyota owns Daihatsu, so I see quite a number of Toyota features, like the reverse beeper (no sensor), Corolla switchgear here and there, and it even has the Toyota Altezza's (JDM version of Lexus IS200) chrome ball auto shiftstick! -
So how much did you get it for?including COE.
I did'nt know Toyota owned Daihatsu. -
Including COE, I paid about 92k. Painful!Originally posted by ontrack:So how much did you get it for?including COE.

I was considering a Mini Cooper, but wasn't impressed with the build quality at that kinda price. Besides, I missed the feel of a convertible (used to have a Rover 216 Cabrio), so the Copen was a dream come true for me!

The Rover? It wasn't that bad. The Copen's insurance is worst of the lot!Originally posted by eutjin:i loved driving that car!! but, i believe the insurance was horribly high .......
