1998 Daihatsu Cuore Avanzato TR XX R4

[@WhatUpTKHere]

Gang two of those engines up and you'd have a 1.2L V8 with more power than an NA Miata. I... I need to do this.

[@bradman7281]

What Up TK Here NO GOD NO GOD PLEASE NO NO NO NOOOOOOO

[@criven3128]

I support

[@Dr_Monitor]

1.2L V8? How has nobody done this yet?

[@highlanderfreelancer4553]

or a new Yamaha R6 engine would fit in that car and has twice the hp stock and a 16,000 rpm red line

[@penelopeboivin3191]

More power than a Miata? I’m actually surprised

[@automan224]

Shame no one in the U.K. offered you a Reliant Robin

[@dcanmore]

Bond Bug would have been better

[@archechme]

and on its side because mr regular wouldn't understand how completely and shamelessly dangerous they are

[@AdoringFan]

I should've asked if he wanted to review my MG

It's more fun to drive a slow thing fast than a fast thing slow.... Always will be!

[@Julianna.Domina]

I've only had two fast thing going fast experiences I enjoyed better than slow car fast. Taking my 1998 Escort SE up to 114mph was both horrifying and SO FUN

[@This1Person]

Agreed, but not of you can't get a slow car to go fast.

[@scoobiesnatches]

My family are die hard Toyota people, but that's because my dad had a Daihatsu Charade and put 400,000 miles on it before he finally got rid of it. I have so many childhood memories in that tiny little red hatchback. I still see some around so you should definitely do a review on one in the States.

[@MyOleg1969]

Отличная машина!!!

[@derekj.tejeda267]

My dad owned a Charade before I existed. He hated it lmao.

[@jacobfleming565]

[@MrCargod05]

bfchang kei cars are sold in the U.S., almost solely for off road use. And not to mention there are plenty that can be legally imported like the Suzuki Cappuccino that I'm picking up later today.

[@worldhello1234]

"if they shipped Kei cars to the United States we'd probably be right on the brink of cataclysm from climate change." Nope, climate change happens, whether you choose believe the lie of manmade climate change or not. It always happened.

slow car fast is the best kept secret in automotive culture. I went from an M3 to a civic SI, the SI is way more fun on the street.

[@MattNukem]

It's all about power you can use every day. It's the reason I drive a Fiesta ST. A car which Ford has now pulled from the US. The Civic Si was a strong consideration, but, well... I like hatchbacks.

[@houstontexas7104]

Major props to Roman for his creativity in making the intro and outro musics for all the videos 👍👍👍

[@tschimbo12]

I love those honest reviews of you and the fact that you talk about how a car feels instead of their performance stats. Thank you for showing me the lesson, that a car with lots abd lots of power and a high top speed is nothing compared to a car with soul.

[@HeroRR]

"ALL OF BOSTON!" YES!! hahaha As a Bostonian I can confirm this! :D

[@officialclownbusiness7788]

HEROrr yep, the streets are tiny, confusing, and under constant construction. And remember, when driving in or around Boston, always be sure to signal properly. Fully extend your arm out the window, and while holding a Dunkies cup, flip the otha bastid off!

[@JB-sv5pr]

I agree but I moved to Hawaii and it's just as fucking. Crazy I miss Boston rotaries one ways

[@JB-ru2zb]

After going there on a trip. I will make sure to only drive around on a BICYCLE. i walk From South end to North end in less than an hour. on foot with the missus.

[@charlieanddadreviewsandcha2243]

True!

[@Shawn_the_Protogen]

Boston, the city of narrow streets with cars parked on BOTH SIDES. I drive into the south end to go to school and I can confirm the streets narrow.

[@Damptarmac]

Wonderful review. Mr Regulars view on cars are so refreshing and one I've felt alone having. Cudos for the genuine miss-shift-apology, really shows respect!

[@TheJackal917]

So? I had one of these. When I was 18 I lived with my aunt and uncle in Vladivostok (ma went to complex treatment to Israel for half a year). So for studies uncle bought me one of these, dark grey colour made in 1997. Only 5yo it was like new with only 20 thousand miles on it, imported by uncle's friend from neighbouring Japan. And was dirt I mean DIRT cheap. And never broke. It is suuuuper reliable. For three years I made only a few visits to service and that's it. To this day it still drives, third car in my uncle's family. I was very surprised anyone would ever make a review for car I had. And now I'm crying out of nostalgia.

The photo at 6:39 is excellent for a lot of technical reasons as well as aesthetic reasons. The simple explanation is that it utilizes dynamic symmetry with a circular through-line... amazing and well done. More importantly, it tells a story and captures the individuality of the people in the frame; great work!

[@TheBrainSpecialist]

Because Gran Turismo

[@decjko]

Gran Turismo 2 has the most number of chibi Japanese cars out of every GT, so this car could've been in there.

[@mr.razington7881]

I think it was in GT2

[@decjko]

It's not in the game. You only have 3 Cuores: '90 Cuore, '98 Cuore TR and '98 Cuore TR Aero Package. If the Cuore Avanzato TR-XX R4 was to be in GT2, it'll be a direct competitor to every Kei car you know lol.

[@true_neutral3378]

THE BRAIN SPECIALIST also in gtr portable or 4

[@thealifrs4_463]

[@saconchar]

I own a 1983 Daihatsu Cuore (2 cyl 550 cc) and just loved it. Its fun to drive and very good in the city. I use it daily. If you ever come to Chile, your are welcome to Drive and enyoi the Coure!!!! Love the show

[@harrykuntz878]

Sergio you are very lucky to own such a cool car . he needs to fly down there right away and drive it . maybe you can up load a video of it driving please .

[@gogotrololo]

This is by far the best car review I've ever watched

[@MilsurpMikeChannel]

When I was going to college at Pittstate in the late 1990's (in Kansas... calm down Mr. Regular), the grounds crew had Daihatsu trucks they worked out of. They could go anywhere as they were narrow enough to drive on the sidewalks.

[@97I30T]

Milsurp Mike Nice. Pitt State is a pretty cool little university. I almost went there. It was my second choice after K-State.

[@calebrady4309]

I currently go there now, and they still use those trucks. Loving the automotive program here

[@sammolloy1]

The Charade, the little Jeep thingy, They always made excellent cars. The small Scions were Diahatsus.

[@MyOleg1969]

[@Zippy306]

I'd love to have that as my daily driver for the city (okay, I live in Europe). An 8.5 0-100 is prety decent. My 180-hp car does 8 flat.

That's it for the UK trip? A single rover, no MGs, British Leyland, Land Rovers, Jaguars, Robin Reliants or anything? That's a shame, maybe another time. Interesting to see the Stagea I guess!

Im glad i have no sleep schedule, so I'll get to see a review as soon as it comes out

You want to drive this car with Turbo Swap. 100+ hp on that little car. Flooring it is so freaking fun and don't forget the turbo flutter. Parts are cheaps af

[@Ekib-Niatnuom]

When I lived on Guam in the mid-90's with my ex-girlfriend we owned a Daihatsu Charade. The car was awesome. Still to this day I'd drive that car in an instant. It was so utilitarian and so fun. It sipped gas and carried our scuba and camping gear with no trouble at all.

[@skog77]

Series over? Now hang on, i thought i saw a Citroen Xantia in some of the shots from the UK. No review of a hydraulic Citroen??

[@dcanmore]

I know disappointing, always liked the Xantia. I think those other cars were at the meet in Coventry, but the reviews were at a disused airfield in Essex.

[@skog77]

Love the Xantia. Had two of them. One with leather seats, middle armrest and extra soft spheres. Magic carpet ride car worth 700 GBP :D

[@Menda_Lerenda]

[@alexwoodward390]

I think mr.regular had said that they plan to go to the land of "down under" where you will find jdm and yutes only.

[@niekgozer26]

This is better than anything european.

[@Caledon91]

Disappointed no fans over there had shitty old British cars like the Morris Marina for him to review.

[@Scrubworks]

Thing is you can find shit old British stuff in the States, and it's usually less rusty than it is over here, but 90s JDM stuff is almost non-existent in the States.

[@Noreo]

Roman’s end music on this one is the best. I can’t stop listening to it and I wish there were a full length song for it.

[@diablow1411]

Daihatsus are pretty fun to drive, in quite an essence. Small, zippy, basic - pretty much everything you want as a parent if you wanna hand down a car to your kid who just passed their DMV test. I drive one of these (stock version, with the MY being '97) and can give you this solid verdict: Its quite an exercise in itself to drive these and if stuck in traffic, then you can't help but remain anxious as hell until the situation clears and you find a gas station in your route.

"internal combusting elderly"? That's what you get when you take Granny out for a Vindaloo.

[@thecurry7879]

My friend has one of these and dude, they're awesome. And they can be quite comfy on long trips. We drove around 500 miles from Berlin, Germany to the Netherlands and 500 miles back to Berlin on one weekend and we were totally fine. And it's nice to have here in Berlin so you can park anywhere you want, do sharp turns at higher speed than the others around you slipping through the traffic and it makes so much fun. And you can drive it at 4 liters per 100 km without any problems which equals around 56 mpg

[@jadedejarlais2769]

RCR Australia when. Come drive a GT HO Phase III Falcon or a V8 Ute!

[@thastump]

"You use all the power, all the time". That's pretty much how I felt when I borrowed a 68hp Peugeot 107 (same as Toyota Aygo/Citroën C1), while my 160hp Peugeot 406 was in the shop. Dropping 92hp and 650kg, while gaining a peppy little 3-cylinder 7000 RPM firecracker is stupidly good fun. Full throttle all the time, everywhere, screeching tires like a madman.... Going 60kph :-P

[@WhatUpTKHere]

Actually quicker to 60 mph than a stock NA Miata.

[@Flumphinator]

One nice small car that we did get in the US is every E30. In comparison to a modern compact, those cars give you... That feeling. When you hit 75 and shit starts shaking and you love it and you're not sure why.

And some one that active with the drag race has already achieve 300hp with his little 660 cc turbocharge. I can give you link if you want. But , that article is in malay language

[@siri9452]

It's pronounced Coo-aw-reh. Here's a simple trick to read ANY Italian word correctly, just read it how it is written. It's pronounced Coo aw reh because it says Cuore and not kewori

My mom is from Piedmonte & she says it more like kwa reh, 2 syllables.

[@RandomGenera7ed]

If there is a way to mispronounce a word, Mr Regular will find it. I'm just happy he got it right at the start of the video

[@siri9452]

Yes, it is two syllables, you say Coo-aw as one syllable
