A couple clarifications: First, the Zero 1 was first built in 1994, it wasn't until 1996 when it passed Japan's federal requirements to allow Mitsuoka to be recognized officially as a car manufacturer. Second, this particular Mitsuoka has 165/70R13 sized tired (I said 14" in the video). Some Mitsuoka Viewts do have 14" wheels. Feel free to comment on any other mistakes found, I do make them.. Thank you!

I had a Viewt for almost 3 years here in England, great fun and head turner, some people thinking that it was a mk2 Jag. there are 2 problems, rust where the new extended body is welded to the Micra and the paint flaking off.

This “retro design” trend of the early 90s Japanese cars is baffling, but gave us some really fun unusual cars like this, the Nissan Pao, and the Figueroa.

A new Viewt here in Japan today goes for between 19,000~22,000 USD at current exchange rates (about 2.8~3.2 million yen, more with options and upgrades).

That certain leaf was likely smoked at this car's conception. It's too bad that the drivetrain wasn't mounted longitudinally, using Nissan't independently-suspended rear axle
@SaleProofCarReviews3 жыл бұрын
Sure, but considering the limited resources Mitsuoka has worked with historically, the Viewt is something of a success. That and some of the other cars they build better fit the RWD sporty car segments
@aldente26763 жыл бұрын
@@SaleProofCarReviews Given limited resources, they could just as well have used the less expensive Daihatsu Hijet platform. At least, the Viewt would have in that case handled more like a Mark II Jaguar with that set-up than with front-drive Nissan gear. The leaf spring rear suspension would also have made loading more than 10 kilograms into the boot possible

I KNOW of course what you mean about the design of the BADGE. It also looks to me like something of a SOVIET military design. I was also wondering about the (quite nice) music, which sounds to me more RUSSIAN, than JAPANESE!
@SaleProofCarReviews2 жыл бұрын
Hi Nygel! You're actually the first person to ask me about the music, and I'm glad you did! It's a song I found in the KZbin audio library creative commons that I designated as the theme song for the channel's feature car which is a Yugo. The song has a catchy melody and playful feel to it and appropriately, it's called Russian Dance by Joey Pecoraro. I liked the song a lot and decided to use it in the intros, outros, and transitions of all my videos and it will continue to be the Yugo/Sale Proof Car Reviews theme song until the channel's feature car changes.
