Copen 660 Cero

The Daihatsu Copen Cero is a kei-class two-seat convertible powered by a 660cc turbocharged petrol engine paired with a CVT. It sits at the fun end of the kei car segment, aimed at buyers who want something genuinely different from the usual hatchbacks and sedans. The retractable hardtop is electrically operated, and the car is compact enough to handle tight city streets with ease. CVT delivery is smooth and relaxed at low speeds, though the small engine does need revs when merging onto faster roads.

In Pakistan, the Copen is a grey import and not officially sold here, so parts availability is limited compared to mainstream Japanese cars. Mechanics familiar with kei turbos exist in larger cities like Karachi and Lahore, but finding body-specific or roof mechanism parts can take time and cost more. Resale is niche — the buyer pool is small, which means prices can be unpredictable. Timing belt, turbo seals, and the roof mechanism are worth inspecting carefully on any used example.
