This English version of Storia pages are under construction and will take a looooooong time, maybe forever to complete.... Information in this English version pages are not exact as the Japanese pages.

I bought Daihatsu Storia X4/(In export name:Sirion)on July 1st 1998. My car will be arriving at the end of September 1998. This special X4 edition of Storia is only available up to 30 cars per year and are order based manufacturing. On July 24 1998, Daihatsu decided to terminate selling for the 1998 edition of Sotira X4. If anyones interested in buying X4 will have to wait next year for ordering.

Storia X4(pronounced "cross four") is designed by Daihatsu Coopertaion to serve as a base vihicle for domestic motor sports use. Because X4 is optimized for high competition rally, there is no air-conditioners, power assisted windows, and even radios. In addition power assisted steering is optional and are not standardly equipped.. There is no optional air conditioners, this is because there is no room for air compressor units to set inside the engine room. Storia X4 is only available via pre-ordering. In addition, only 30 X4s' are available each year. Manufacturing of Storia X4 is limited to 30 each year. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS would be a good example which is more like Storia X4 but they have much more availability.

Below image is an only availble leaflet for the Storia X4. Daihatsu has no plans to print the fancy catalog for Storia X4. There are big posters on DRS's(Daihatsu Racing Service),

About Daihatsu Storia X4

I first noticed Daihatsu Storia X4 On May 1998 in a Japanese Bi-weekly and Monthly magazine called "Holiday Auto" and "Car Top". Both magazines aggresively described this Hot-Hutch because it was totally unique in its characteristics.
