Review and test drive of the Mitsubishi Dangan, Daihatsu Mira & Honda Beat on the roads of Milton Keynes.

[@crazybiscut]

Screw hybrids!! we need more K cars

[@no1horselover]

Miras Rule!! Ive got one, had it for years, its done 320,000kms and still has original engine! marvelous on petrol too. $30 fills up the tank and that will last about 390kms

[@G1NZOU]

Small cars done properly, love them. At the moment I'm going to stick with my Mini, though I'd love a tiny Daihatsu as an everyday vehicle.

[@AdamJDM1]

This episode is actually from Top Gear 1992, more specifically, the 4th episode of that season. I have it on VHS.

Holy shit

[@muhammadhafizhafiz4044]

daihatsu Mira in Malaysia they call perodua kancil or nippa in uk

[@benchiaase]

What a hoot! LOL! And that Mira. Automatic wipers and lights way before anyone else. :P

Perfect vehicle for social distancing during coronavirus shopping.

My god! the japanese must've invented the ipod before the Apple does!

[@WhatThePresidentSays]

i have that in gran turismo! :))

[@littlecholo_9659]

i owned kei cars and i still got 1. the turbo mira is very reliable. and the fact that it got another configuration like the 2 doors or as it called the cuore has a very interesting 4 cylinders 600cc turbo engine. really fun to drive around. you can make it as your daily drive. cheap fuels. would love to get 1 someday

[@muffin4600]

What kind of Mira did you have?

[@JamesTobiasStewart]

Honestly more countries should do this, I mean these could potentially be a big help on emissions and fuel economy.

[@YourFrienjamin]

...and our pockets

[@RustyNex]

think of them as street legal gokarts. big cars have their place but small cars can be amazingly fun to drive, and you have to try it to understand

[@whoohaaXL]

I'm American and I'd drive one of these in a fucking heartbeat. Same for most of the U.K's small hatchbacks.

In the USA thr closet thing that was sold was the daihatsu charade. They're neat little cars. Only problem was they stopped selling in 1992

[@t0nyloaf]

i have an '89 omggggggggggggg

[@WilliePeck]

Oh nice! I have a 92 silver sedan. It's got the 1.3L(standard with the sedan) and a manual transmission. Most reliable car ever.

[@t0nyloaf]

for real dude!

[@Gummby69]

The Mira is so much smaller again. Hard to believe lol

[@Kyush4]

subaru justy and suzuki swift were also sold there

[@bullet50000]

When the 25 year exemption comes about, I am importing all of those into the states

[@ashevans1107]

bullet50000 6 years later? Have you done it or hasnt it been 25 years yet. Sorry to bump an old comment

[@anonuser5852]

Ash Evans Saw a Minica Dangan ZZ, Honda Beat, and Suzuki Cappuccino at a car show in America yesterday. They’re definitely here now.

[@user-mo3tg5xc7j]

海外の人が日本の軽自動車を好きでいてくれて最高に嬉しいです。若い時に赤いミラアバンザートに乗って居たから懐かしく感じました😂今の時代の軽自動車もかなり進化がすごいから。注目されて欲しいですね。ちなみに自分は現行日産DAYSＳに乗ってます～

[@vr6465]

Se fossero importate in Italia, ne venderebbero moltissime. Le Suzuki in particolare, sono molto belle.

[@raufsahin334]

Cute Daihatsu Mira ..i love it .

[@MrEnjaycee]

HaHaHa look at Clarkson; not prating on about V8 BMW's and actually presenting a vehicle in a professional way.

[@G1NZOU]

My hometown, Milton Keynes. Damn, it looked empty back then.

[@zerokiritokazuto5603]

I got a 1991 mira here in america

[@zerokiritokazuto5603]

Got it imported

[@kernals12]

as an American, I am physically incapable of taking these cars seriously, in a land where the widths of roads are measured in miles rather than feet (that's metres to those on the metric system) these cars' tiny sizes are rarely going show any advantages

[@Tubingenstr]

Mondial is 4 seater. I used to watch this in 1991.

[@oldboygarage]

This is recorded in Milton Keynes not far from me

[@piratez2948]

Mira ❤️

[@ItchyKneeSon]

An Australian must have told him how to pronounce "kei jidousha".

[@Mladjasmilic]

i want one so i can park it by my bed

[@willpoundstone71]

The Mini is smaller than every other car he reviewed here

[@G1NZOU]

@galex50 They do, they just mix it with insanity. Like having vending machines on every street but very few drunks, small economical cars that are also fun to drive and the way everyone just accepts that recycling is the most sensible thing to do. Then again you've got to love the way you can buy two sizes of coke for the same price and game shows like Gaki no Tsukai, ridiculously funny.

[@R33Racer]

Shame they didn't review the Mazda AZ-1

[@jamescollinslea]

why-o-why cant we get cars like this in USA?!?!?!

Actually Mitsubishi bring to US the mirage, but nobody (the host of the car's tv (inter-nerd) shows like it. It's a 3 cylinder, with everything you'll need, but they say it's garbage... So sad, I love compact cars.

[@commentmachine1]

Because a large percentage of your population thinks Hummers and pickup trucks are necessary to go grocery shopping.
