The Daihatsu Hijet is a well established van, pickup truck and general goods vehicle made by daihatsu between 1986 and 2004. Such a longstanding run proves how well this model was accepted and it has built quite a name for itself as a good alround van. The Daihatsu Hijet has been described as "the closest thing on the roads to a loaf of bread" - this hints at its box like looks but the drive is not too doughy in a hijet. Released only ever with a 1300 cc engine and a 5 speed manual box the Daihatsu Hijet is a workhorse of a van.
The Daihatsu Hijet was a best seller for Daihatsu and by keeping it simple they reproduced this for almost 20 years. This is great for people looking for a good quality cheap used van, because they fit that bill. You can pick up Daihatsu Hijets at great prices in uk auctions, they are popular though so be prepared to snap up a bargain van when you see one!
