Doug DeMuro gives the 1995 Daihatsu Mira TR-XX Avanzato R4 a strong 78/100 rating, praising its exceptional design and performance for a K-car, including its turbocharged 63-horsepower engine with an 8500 RPM redline comparable to an Acura NSX, aggressive dual rear spoilers, and complete body kit that emphasizes its low center of gravity. The cabin features charming details like wood trim and labeled "free box" panels, though the climate control is confusingly redundant and cabin technology scores only moderately at 60/100. Livability is the clear weak point at 38/100, with a mechanical intrusion into the passenger footwell severely compromising legroom despite the surprisingly functional back seats. This is a car for enthusiasts who value the thrill of driving a slow car fast and appreciate Japanese engineering ingenuity within the constraints of a tiny, affordable package.
