I absolutely adore these quirky little JDM nuggets. I'm a retired mechanic, have owned almost everything over the years, north of 100 cars have come and gone. The truth is most of us could do just fine with something like this and limit our impacts at the same time. Moving 800kg of car to move 100kg of human makes so much more sense that a resource hungry flagship weighing over 2200kg. If these were available here in OZ, I'd have one tomorrow. Cheaper to buy, cheaper to own, cheaper to run, less stress paying for it all. Am I missing something or just plain eccentric?

[@YourFrienjamin]

Spot on.

[@T-Rex-nm1se]

I never seen a kei car in the U.S. I've always found these cars cool. Whenever I visit Japan in the future, I'll make sure to drive one

[@ma.jemilynlazier7217]

The old Scion XB and Nissan Cube is the closest Kei car the U.S ever got.

[@rafaellucero5098]

I think kei cars will not fit on America's huge ang long roads......

[@mrdaykurutakuchannel]

i would love to take a kei car for a spin!

[@Twinspinner]

@@ma.jemilynlazier7217 I mean, the Smart Car and Fiat 500 are closer to kei cars than those, but yeah, those share a similar shape to kei vans. If fact, the Smart car dimensionally fits the regulations for a kei car, but in the US it never had the 660cc engine required to be a kei car, it had a larger more powerful one

[@Twinspinner]

I've seen a couple kei vans and kei trucks around, so they are starting to gain a bigger following for sure, but definitely still a very rare sight!

[@dylanbepis570]

I love kei cars, such a Japanese concept

[@carsales]

We love them too!! Wish they would come to Australia

[@Bmontepeque11]

I love small cars, like sure, Kei cars would have a hard time selling in other countries but can you imagine how much simple and greener life arround the world would be if all of the normal people who don't really care about cars drove Kei Cars? ❤️❤️

[@smurftums]

Given the present price of small vehicles in Australia, a non-drive away price of around $16,000 (including auto) could make these viable with the turbo being the standard engine.

[@Toyopet3]

I'd love for Kei cars to come to Australia. I rented a Honda N-WGN Kei car in Japan and it was great. So practical and easy to drive. The only unexpected negative was the "boomy" echo sound within the interior, which may have been due to cheap materials rather than being a Kei car. Surprisingly, I've seen some Kei dual cab utes in Japan. They seem practical enough, although the tub was very small and the rear seats probably don't slide back for increased legroom. It'd be great to compare their economics, usefulness and enviro footprint to the Ford Ranger or the Silverado-RAM-F150 trio.

[@talalahmed7166]

Like kei cars, kei trucks are more practical than Full-size trucks. Kei trucks also have non-kei versions with 800cc and 1000cc engines for pulling heavier weight/towing.

[@CaptainWilliamTRiker]

That’s got to be one of the coolest looking Kei cars I’ve ever seen.

[@gqy5862]

You can find 660cc engine everywhere in AU, on motorcycles 😂 Seriously, considering the fuel consumption, I would buy one like this

[@mrdaykurutakuchannel]

This kei car is awesome!! I wish we get it within econobox price tag!!

[@carsales]

Haha yeah that would be awesome

[@smurftums]

3395mm is the maximum length permitted under Japanese Kei regulations.

[@Kered-9]

If they sold these in Canada I would have to buy one. I see no other option.

[@海猫パラダイス]

乗れば理にかない、高性能で楽しい車と分かります、個人の移動に大きな車は必要ではありません

[@tomm187ab]

There are two countries where Japanese Kei cars, especially used ones, sell well: Russia and Pakistan. Both are known to be harsh environments in which to maintain cars. In Russia's Far East, getting stopped by a car in winter can lead to death. there Used 4WD Kei cars in Japan that are 10 years old, selling well.

[@grandiora]

I really like these cars. It's stupid that these cars are safe enough for the Japanese countryside yet it's not for Australia.

[@mitchgranata573]

It is a groovy little car, and it looks like it would do a decent job of city driving. Though Highway driving would be out of the question. It is only around 30cm shorter than a Mazda 2 in length.

[@boboutelama5748]

The european versions of the Suzuki Wagon R, in the late 90's, where all equipped with 1.2 4 cylinders. That where more potent for highway use. It make sense to believe, that, if the Japanese would try again to come on the international market with their key cars, they would use their 990 cc 3 cyl engines, that are now very common on several markets. But, before Kei cars come back, we need a change of rules regarding passenger car. But this change of rule, is very probable to occure in Europe.

[@squeaksvids5886]

I think that’s a fabulous looking car, and very clever as well.

[@hsvcommodore4111]

Thanks for the review!

[@LeoMkII]

They're not that safe but not so unsafe either, I saw a crash test for the N-Box (though it's one of the most expensive ones) and it did manage the test pretty good for a can that little

@@LeoMkII thanks for sharing this!

[@woodchild48]

It's a shame that there are no cars in europe. But the car lobby is successfully preventing it, even though many people don't need a bigger car.

[@sujpuj]

Great you guys do other country car reviews! 👍🏻

[@sahjhansekh1974]

Fhff

[@rayneilaquino3286]

I wish this would come to the philippines

[@scalemodelandrestomodproje3925]

well the only kei car we do have is the suzuki every

[@earthlyvibes23]

I love these small kei cars. Cheap to run and fun. And they are selling like hot cakes in Malawi 🇲🇼 Africa.

[@talalahmed7166]

Same in Pakistan too as our corrupt governments have made fuel price like diamond/gold price

[@HoangNguyen-im9yl]

Small but full of options

[@mmmhhh.]

can u do a review of alto 2020 4wd with automatic transmission please?

[@carsales]

Sure thing, when we're allowed to travel to Japan 🤣

[@mockingjenn6600]

I just bought this today ☺️

[@carsales]

Nice!! Do you love it?

[@alexandermutune6131]

How is it?

[@PeterPanQuails]

I wonder if the 660cc turbo will have enough power to go uphill with 4 adults.

[@talalahmed7166]

There is a sport mode or S gear in kei vehicles for that

[@Raajj6L]

Can you review a honda S660 please!!

[@t8polestarcyan22]

Now... what about Dayz's electric cousin/brother? Nissan Sakura!

[@danepher]

do you mean length 3395mm by chance? Because a Kia Picanto is 3595mm and is not a kei car.

[@PeterPanQuails]

Apart from dimension, it also needs to be under 660 cc in Japan for it to be classified as Kei cars.

[@karkybibek]

Is it coming to australia?

[@carsales]

No, not at this stage. Would be cool if it did though.

[@chriswilliment3304]

It will never change until the options to have us there. We have big cars. One being a mustang. But taking the mustang to the supermarket or any public car park leaves us with nerves shattered until we get back worried that some no caring pieces of the 💩 hasn't smashed there door or even driven into the our car. We have a honda crv that we use for this purpose. But after going to Japan and seeing these little jems of automotive magic. I'd replace the CRV for the ease of parking and doing the city runs let's say, with the cheaper fuel and probably cheaper all cost of the car. For every day use. And good for the kids aswell. As mine are getting to that driving age. At least I know they be able to break speed records with it. And it wont cost the earth refuelling it after they borrowed the car.

[@louisecheung3117]

Love it!

[@tarunkumar-gb8fg]

Good car

[@Realwaqasaslam]

I think you didn't realize this car has a pro pilot

[@mattyp1439]

my car is a turbo triple ;)

[@amritalalhalder9082]

I want to buy it.

[@amritalalhalder9082]

Will it launch in India ? Please let me know about the car.

[@HoutPateta]

No one will buy it. Indians like big cars. Tata Nano was a similar car but failed in India.

[@attackmodph6084]

I want this 😢😢😢😲😲😲😲

[@tarosato2340]

Length 3395mm

[@bohanzhang719]

Is it legal to import a Kei car to Australia?

[@PeterPanQuails]

It is.

[@neongo6446]

I wish I could have one

[@carsales]

They're pretty cool!!

[@Predikant]

Aussies don't know it yet but their corrupt government are going to ruin the life that they have become accustomed to Australians are going to be forced into poverty, only wealthy Australians will be able to afford Kei cars like this in the future. I hope that I am wrong.

[@Funica11]

We call it the “Galapagos car” only existing in Japan. There is no benefit to owning it outside Japan where no tax and toll privileges are available.

[@xeniosaias]

3395

[@Jz-fj5ki]

Nissan bring this to india

[@rafarga1980]

‘’Aussies love big cars.’ So Aussies are like Americans when it comes to cars 😖

オーストラリア英語だと、aの発音は「エイ」ではなく「アイ」になるから、DAYSをオーストラリアの人が発音するとダイズになっちゃうんだよね(笑)。

[@t8polestarcyan22]

For this day and age, I fail to see a point of having an internal combustion engine in a kei car.

[@irlsexy]

you think they'd have this in nyc 😐

[@Joshua-ez6cz]

Nope

[@FloridaMan69.]

it's awful
